I have a limited budget and after looking around at a lot of models, i am hesitating between those. They're all pretty much in the same price range (1.5k-2k). I mostly watch tv and xbox360, so i tought i could sacrifice 1080p and get a cheaper model. Is it a good idea, or should i invest more to get 1080p, since its 50''?

If i should stay in those models, which one should i choose? I read there's some SD problems with sammys of that model, but i see lots of positive reviews, so i'm confused... Panny is a bit more expnsive, but i heard they make the best plasmas (well, non-pionner plasmas! ;) )

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

I would take Samsung 50A450 from a big store like BB or FS, so you can return it if you don't like it.

If your budget is limited, and the plasmas you are considering are 720p, consider the 50" Sanyo from Wal Mart. $997! That is not a sale price...

I own the 50a450 and i love it.Ive tested at least 4 different plasma's and one lcd in my theatre room.I must say i love this tv and you can't go wrong if your asking my opinion.I picked mine up for $1500 and it's worth every penny:D
