I'm going to be picking out a new HDTV and I am seriously looking at the Samsungs. My question is this, any recommendations on the following:
HLN507W
HLP5063W
HLP5085W
HLP4674W
I am leaning towards the 5063w, but wanted to see what Samsung owners and people who have had HDTVs for awhile think.
Also, should I be looking at another brand?
Thanks a lot guys!

I have the HLP563W, and i think its a great tv. I had no problems with it so far and the picture is great. Especially with the hdmi hookup to my dvr. The only thing I don't like about it is that i have to hook it up with s video to watch analog channels, because they are horrid looking when its hooked with component, or hdmi. Plus i can't stretch out the picture, only with s video. Except for zoom 1, and 2.
Its very light and doesn't consume any space for my room. I have it in my closet. I would get the hlp5063w, don't know too much about the other models.

I have an HLP5663 & HLP6163 and love them both. No problems at all and an amazing picture. The 5085 I believe you have to have the stand that goes with it and won't work in an entertainment center. I looked at Sony and Mitsubishi (which I had for years) and was trying to get a side by side comparison and finally one day I walked into Tweeter and they had the Samsung 5063, the Mitsubishi DLP and the Sony Wega XBR side by side and in my opinion the Sammy blew the other two away as far as color and depth of picture. I don't know much about the other Samsungs but you won't regret getting the 5063.

We sell a bunch of Samsungs clamman27. The biggest complaint I get is what tonelocdog mentions, the STD signal . STD won't look good in general on the HD sets.
Careful with TV video games too... there is a lag in the control response
Otherwise these are great TVs

what is the lag in control response? is that with all hdtvs or just samsungs?
