Sony KDL-32EX520 or Samsung UA32EH5006

[Rydako]

I've been looking around for a 32" LED TV for my bedroom, It'll mostly be used for my HTPC. Looking around I've nailed it down to these two tvs.

The Sony KDL-32EX520 KDL-32EX520 (KDL32EX520, KDL32EX520BAEP) : Overview : TV & home cinema : Sony
or the
Samsung UA32EH5006 Support for UA32EH5006M

The Sony is available for $700 while the samsung is available for $630. (This is New Zealand Dollars)

Looking around I can't find anything bad for me about either TV, the Sony has reduced file compatibility when playing files through network or usb compared to the Samsung but although that'd be useful I doubt I'll use it much so I'm not too bothered about it. I'm leaning towards Sony just because of the Brand. And the fact Samsung had that whole capacitor issue not too long ago kind of puts me off them.

What do you guys think, Sony or Samsung?

u get smarttv options aswell wid da sony (have to buy the dongle seperately i guess)
try visiting local stores and check out their picture quality first hand
it comes down to preference
32eh5000 is the indian variant of the 32eh5006 i guess and ex520 is ex520
p.s:i do own the 32eh5000 and very happy with it

If u want to playback various files via usb then go with samsung..but as u are gonna use it for htpc so most files gonna be playbacked via pc.
If ur prority with picture quality go with sony..visit this post to know how to play mkv on bravia tv..http://www.hifivision.com/television/26438-how-play-mkv-file-sony-bravia-led-tv-guide.html

Check both the televisions by playing both SD and HD content and then decide rather being blindly biased towards a brand.

Hi,
refer http://www.hifivision.com/television/16749-finally-bought-sony-40ex520-3.html#post369119
your choices are simple and easy to decide
Since you are gona use HTPC, I would recommend Sony. Infact my friend bought 32EX520 and after having used it for 6 months I bought my 40EX520.
