We've had our 46" HD Samsung since 2008 and have been extremely pleased with it. Before we got it my mom and dad had had it for about 2 years so I'd say it is a really good brand TV. I helped my mom pick it out at Best Buy back in 2006 I believe and it had the best picture of any they had in stock at that time. Good luck finding one cause there sure are a lot on the market and that always makes it hard to decide.
