I have came to a final conclusion onto what i am going to due. These are the models i am deciding upon. I will be gaming on my ps3 and i will be hooking the hdtv up directly with my coax cable from the wall cable with out a box so i can get over the air hd local channels.
here are the models
697.00 SOny model, they have this on sony usa .com but it comes with speakers, i am guessing because the model alone itself is exclusive to sams club and costco.

the samsung ln32a540 650 however this model that costco carries is not 1080i or whatever like samsungs website says. its only the 720 which does not bother me anyway. so basically its the 450 model with a better remote and 1 more hdmi port.
or
a vizio model 32 inch for 529
or maybe the phillips model
anyways i think i am leaning towards the sony.......... i think it must be a great model i cannot find to many reviews on it obviosly because its an exclusive model as of now..
please help i am making my decision tomorrow
ps i have reason to believe the qam tuner in the samsung does not work well with the comcast direct coax cable to the tv without a box plus the speakers really are not the greatest in the back and all i think........
thanks everyone please help
