Thanks to all the LED/LCD Guru's out there for your time regarding this.

Samsung LA40C530 or LG 42LD460/42LD450?
1) Mainly used for mom seeing astro/astro beyond
2) Used for Animations from 480p-720p(Using External non powered HDD or portable HDD), would be great with 1080p as well
3) Contemplating on using a hd media player instead of built in..need recommendations for this...
4) Can I use HDMI connecting from laptop/notebook to the TV? Would it burn my graphics card in the long run?
5) Should i go LED technology instead? Since its newer and new confirms the availability of spare parts in the coming 5-10years?...
6) Really hoping for good quality audio for the paid price as I'm really fussy when it comes to audio quality.

Really having a headache choosing as this is my first time contemplating over purchasing a LED/LCD/Plasma TV... My main focus is for it to last a long and reasonable time in both terms of durability and repair(Spare part availability)

Thanks alot!

also about UA40C5000 for samsung and corresponding LED tv within its price range?

Planning to get it before Chinese New year..
