What 40" HDTV to buy!?!? HELP!

[LawrenceJanis]

Okay so I was about to hit "place order" on amazon.com for the Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, but then......

^^^^*story starts in the middle*^^^^

I will be attending college next year so I decided I needed a smaller TV from my current 46" set (unfortunately it will be left at home). I started out at 32"...and then I was frustrated that 1080p would be useless at such a small screen size. So I broke up with the 32" screen size idea, and started steadily dating a 37" screen size...unfortunately, I still feel like 1080p on that screen size would be wasted. So I dumped her and moved onto, I believe (not really), a 40" HDTV, keeping in mind my dorm is almost as limited as a HD-DVD

I did a bunch of research, keeping a decent budget in mind (I would only spend around $1200 on a chick at college), and landed on the Samsung LN40A550. In addition I started cheating on her with a Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-40S4100. Now here is where it starts getting sticky...

The Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color is SMOKING HOT. She literally made it hard for me to keep it in my pants, except she wears that tacky red color—like HD-DVD—but I think I can forgive her for it. There is only one problem, she is more money than the hot chick without the Touch of Color (Samsung LN40A550). So I wanted to make a move on the Samsung with the Touch of Color, but she was a little intimidating...and expensive.

After my love triangle...or rectangle (I'm so confused with how many tvs i have gone through) I hit "add to cart" for the Samsung LN40A550 because she was in my price range. I was about to place the order, but then I didn't know what chick to fall in love with.

So HELP!!!

p.s. I know its weird, but i did reference my future TV to a girl in this post...just don't tell my real girlfriend, she gets jealous when I spend time with my ps3 and tv.

p.s.s. I will be using the TV as my computer monitor (macbook pro *DVI-HDMI*) and PS3 for blurays and games.
