Samsung LN40A550 vs Philips 42PFL7403D? (1 Viewer)

I've been looking for a few weeks here at LCD's and am trying to decide between these two:

Samsung LN40A550 - $899

Philips 42PFL7403D - $997
w/ Blu-ray player - $1148

Thoughts on which I should get? I've seen the Samsung and really thought
it looks good. That model is getting tougher to find though. It's a older model they are closing out. Pretty soon it'll be back to the new model and then I think the Samsung will go back up a few hundred dollars. The Philips is 120hz, I believe, and 2" bigger. Thanks for the help!

Samsung. Philips is a substandard brand--I have the 32a550 from Samsung and adore it. The refresh rate was increased substantially from the previous model, (I had the Samsung LN-T3253H which was replaced by warranty) and the A550 blows it away.
