I want to get a new tv for my room and am thinking of a Samsung Series 5 550 40" LE40B550 which I have seen for around £550. What do people think of this TV and are there any others I should be thinking of for around the same price?

I've tried to have a look around to see if this tv supports DivX movies using the USB port and I seem to have come across conflicting results. Does anyone know for sure if it can or not?

Those models are a bit more expensive, are they that much better than the samsung?

I may get virgin+ and a bluray player at some point, but for the meantime its just going to be xbox.

What was the issue when panning? I will mainly be using this tv for HD gaming so not sure if the same issue would apply.

I'm not really insistant on a samsung. I just want a 40" for around £550 that will be good for HD gaming.

The only real difference i can see between the 5 and 6 series is that the 6 series runs at 100hz, and from what i've read, most people dont actually notice the difference... And if you dont notice the '50hz flicker' then there's no point paying the extra for 100hz.

I dont have sky HD and will only be using this for xbox. Cost is an issue and I dont want to spend an extra for something I wont really use. Will a series 5 work ok for HD gaming?

Does anyone have an LG tv? i've seen a 42" LG 42LG5020 for the same price as the samsung and want to know if I should get that instead.
