buying new hdtv lcd/plasma....

[andyn1080]

Ok so im looking for a new hdtv, just sold my 40" sony for 800 to my parents. now im looking to get a bigger hdtv, id like a 50 or 52 inch hdtv or even a 60 lcd or plasma.........which one is the best for gaming and bluray movies?

ive heard that samsungs are great for movies and games (i also heard that they can suck for games though b/c of the dnie or gamemode that makes your games look really dark....is this true)

my price range is around 1800.00 or 2000.00

i saw a plasma samsung at circuit city for 1300.00 it was a 50" or 52" set and look really nice......thinking about going back tomorrow and getting that one but i wanted to see what you guys though, i love the way samsung's hdtvs look at bestbuy when they are showing bluray movies on it.

Again ive always had sony lcds and i like them but it seems like everyone is raving about the samsung.

help a very confussed movie/game lover!
