The eve of my purchase? Need advice

[wozman]

Well, I have been reviewing searching the Net for over 3 months now, (really its been over a yearm but who is counting ) Really looking hard for over 3 months now. (especially this forum, great stuff here) I am looking at upgrading my 5 year old 52" Toshiba Rear Projection DLP. 720p/1080i With my Blu-Ray collection reaching 30, I am getting the itch to upgrade to a 1080p screen. I debated back and forth between the LCD's and Plasma (never ending battle) I chose to look at LCD's due to there less (glare-affect) and non-image burn. Since I have a PS3 and play several games I think an LCD is ideal for my situation, Behind my seating area is a huge bay window, which will cast reflection on any Plasma I go with and to some extent some LCD's with the new reflective screens. (The Samsung line)

That's why I have narrowed my search to the Samsung 52LNA630 they have it for $2199 @ Best Buy (Canadian) and I also found it for $1999 @ Leons (Canadian) and Best Buy will match that price. Is that a good deal for this set? Remember its Canadian Dollars I am dealing with here, LOL I have heard great reviews for the 630 and its brother the 650. Main question is am I going to notice a great deal in quality over my old DLP? I found that the DLP's give great colours and blacks, big draw back is the depth/bulkness of these units, and the "bulb" that has to be replaced every so many hours. Or am I better off waiting (AGAIN) hate playing the waiting game, you could wait tell your blue in the face, with the never ending technological cycle out there, but thats another story in its own right. Waiting for the Samsung 950 and its LED lighting which appears to be the future, I saw this set, and its jaw dropping, but I can't justify the $4000+ price tag.

Could really use some advice here, on the night of my purchase. Am I making the right move going with an LCD, (coming from a DLP) and is the Samsung A630 a quality set.

Please advise
thank you kindly......great forum.

Warning! This site is overwhelmed with LCD haters. I personally like both and they each have there better qualities. At the moment I have a 52 inch sharp lcd and love it but my next tv will either be a projector or a kuro

I don't know how canadian dollars relate to usd, but if 1999 cad is like 1799 usd, then I would say yes you are getting a good deal. You cannot go wrong with a samsung, and the 630 I think has the matted screen so you wont need to worry about the glare. My brother just got a sony 52" V series for that price and your getting more with that tv then he did at the same price.

Go for it you will be happy you did.

I don't have the 630, but the panels between my 750 and the 630 should be same other than the matte vs glossy finish. I'd highly recommend the Samsung.

I personally have an LCD and it is a great tv. If you wait there will always be something cooler. The tv you are considering is a great tv. In my opinion
