Help picking a NEW TV

I finally got tired of my old school TV and am looking for an upgrade. I've been looking and have found a tv that I like which is

http://www.target.com/Samsung-720p-L...DTV%20LN32B350

Now can someone tell me why its $100 cheaper at walmart? Am I missing something cause It's the same model (Samsung 32" 720p LCD HDTV (LN32B350)) and I dont see nothing else included at target that walmart doesnt include.

http://www.walmart.com/Samsung-32-72...TV/ip/10980684

Also, Im buying a ps3 as well so would this be a good TV for it as well? I know its not a 1080p but its something nice and affordable for me at the moment.

Is there something better for around the same price $550 or under with the same size or bigger? I keep thinking the walmart one is a good deal.

Check this one out. It is a little more but it jumps you into the Big Boy Arena (1080p) which you will thank yourself for later when you hook up the PS3.

If you are a costco member they have tv's for some pretty goo deals, also I believe they have a 90 money back guarantee. They also extend the warranty for an extra 2 years.

This is a sony bravia 32 LCD TV for 529.99 just thought I would throw that out there.

Keep an eye out on Tiger Direct. They usually have good deals on TVs. No sense in having a PS3 and being stuck with 720p.

Tiger Direct has a 60" LG plasma, full 1080p, for $1899.99!!!

If I didn't have to move soon, that thing would be on it's way to my house as we speak.

I have this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1218038552425

It's a 720p, but that is perfect for that size. Also, it still runs strong after almost a year. I run high def tv through it all day long and it doesn't skip a beat. I think I got it for like $26X after my buddie's employee discount lol.

Samsung is a great brand to be looking at. I have a 40" series 6 lcd from them and i absolutely love it. In all honesty if your going to be runnign a ps3 with it then save up some extra dough and get a 1080p tv. You'll thank yourself when your watching your first blu ray on it.

yea, i saw the vizio and hitachi and other brands like that but i prefer my samsung or sony. i guess its just because all my electronics i own are from them. im looking for deals on the 1080p but is there really a major difference between 1080p and 720p? i dont know much about these things but when im at best buy, they all look the same too me lol

I say get a Samsung if your gonna be a jew on the price and if your going to use it with a surround sound system.

If not being jewish, I say get a Sony Bravia. Best LCD tv's made and don't have them ****ty down firing speakers that Samsung has. If your not using surround sound a Sony's speakers are front firing and are AMAZING.
