TS,
Go for Samsung if it can play movie/mp3/pic directly from thumbdrive.
Coz this will save you a HD player with a HDMI cable (About RM180) and you will have better space management since there is less 1 player and a cable.
But must check what are the files that can be played direct from the usb.

This the supported video format from my series6 manual (model 2009). I think video format for model 2010 should be same hmm.gif (correct me if wrong). The downside for model 2009 is without optical output, can't support DTS.

Frankly, I never use the Media 2.0 as media center. As I mentioned, my series6 model 2009 is without optical output. Video files with DTS can’t produce sound in LCD TV, so I just forget the feature and use PS3 as media player.

I also worried about durability issue, that why I purchased extended warranty (5 years) from retail shop and plus 1 year warranty from Samsung (standard warranty), total 6 years. I’m very satisfied with the picture quality of this model (personal preference).

I tested the low resolution video file (640x480), the TV able to play the file. But don’t expects picture quality as good as HD video file.

SOURCE = rubbish, then OUTPUT = rubbish.

You mean your Samsung TV set break down before 5 years?

For me, 6 years warranty already enough to justify my purchase. If the TV breaks down after 6 years, I will purchase a new TV. Nowadays, TV technologies grow too fast, from HD ready, Full HD, 3D……

During my survey on LCD, Sharp is my priority candidate. At the end, select Samsung due to picture quality (personal preference).

Different people got different consideration….price, picture quality, sound quality, reliability,……..which one is your first consideration factor, then go to compare and survey. At the end, only you enjoy your TV set, not others.
