Samsung TV quality


My brother is looking at buying a new TV and he looked at a Samsung HTP5054 (50" Plasma, 720P) at CC that he liked, although I speculate it is more than he can pay right now. He also knows someone at a local ABC Wharehouse that warned him against Samsung stating a number of returns with issues. I am curious if others agree or disagree with this thought about Samsung.

(A friend highly recommends the Vizio P50HDTV (50" Plasma, 720P); this TV has been around awhile but seems to have always been well received and it can be purchased locally for around $1300. My brother said the Samsung had a better picture but there is also quite a price difference between them.)

I own a Samsung HLS 7178. 71" DLP. Had it ISF calibrated. Holy Cow. Lots of real estate for the money. If you go this route having it properly calibrated makes it a whole new animal....best PQ I have seen. No problems but as with any big purchase I feel an extended warranty is a must....I did.
Just another note on warranty. I did not go through a B & M to buy my 7178. The cost savings compared to any local store by far made an extended warranty a no brainer. I am in general not an advocate for extended warranties, but with a big electronic purchase....thats a different animal...IMHO
