My PS3 is connected via HDMI to a 32" Samsung R81. Nothing to shout about..Colors are pretty decent except the reds which i find a bit exaggerated. Will try to upgrade to either a 42" Pioneer or 37" Phillips next year (that is if i strike lottery)

Unless u're buying the M8 series, forget about the Samsungs. The viewing angle is pretty appalling.

Yeah, I second that. I have a 32" R7 and a 32" R8 (don't ask why i bought both Samsung).
The R8 is better but after owning 2 of them, I think i've had enough of Samsungs. If money permits, I'm definitely saving up for a 42" Kuro later this year.

^ U need to sit right in the middle of the TV to achieve optimum picture. Try to view it at an angle an the screen turns "bluish". To sum it up, good picture (though the reds are over exaggerated) but extremely bad viewing angles. Try to read online reviews on the R8 and most of them do mention about the viewing angle.

eh..i say later.. can be much much later ok?
