I am trying to decide between a Sony Wega FV-32FS13 and Samsung TXM2796HF. Both can be had for about the same price, but I wonder if HDTV capability is a good trade off for the size(and reputation) of the Sony. Has anyone had any positive/negative experiences with these two sets? Also, when watching DVD's(I plan on running a Toshiba 5700 hooked up with a bettercables silver serpent component), how does a 16:9 enhanced mode(called V-Compression on the Sony), compare with what would be a progressive signal on the Samsung? The Samsung dosent have 16:9 enhanced, but am I correct in assuming a TV capable of displaying a progressive signal dosent need it? Also, this particular model samsung doesn't have 3:2 pulldown, but since my player does, I dont need to worry about that right? I've heard some favorable things about Samsung in general, but people seem to rave about the Sony's, and Im more familiar, and comfortable, with the Sony name. Any info. that anyone could offer that could help me better compare the two products(Build quality, audio performance, reliablity, etc.) would be greatly appreciated. I realize my question is a little broad, and I thank everyone who answers in advance.
