If you are buying a TV, what will you be looking at first before you decide which TV to buy??

A TV which is of an elegant/sleek design or a TV with really good specifications? Me and Joe had went to BEST DENKI looking for TV last night. We loved the Samsung TV.. Yup, it's because of the sleek design.. It just looked sooo elegant to us.. Esp. the white one. But of cos it's more expensive than the usual black. Think it cost around $1,599-$1,799..

Then a salesman came along to recommend us a PANASONIC one.. Cost $1,999 with a $500/- shopping voucher which can be used on the spot. That means it will cost around $1,499. He had made a demo on how good this TV is.. And we saw for ourselves that this PANASONIC one is really good as compared to other brands.. Not only the sound system is very powerful, the image is clearer and much more sharper. It has a unique feature also (the salesman had claimed only this particular model had it).. There is a memory card slot which you can just slot in your camera's memory card and you can view your photos on the TV itself.. I'm impressed by this unique feature.. Only thing I don like is the design of the TV.. The outlook etc..

Hmm.. We don't know which one to choose.. I can't say SAMSUNG no good la.. Just that the specs are quite normal.. Sighh.. But I really love SAMSUNG's design!!

Which will you choose??? SAMSUNG or PANASONIC? ;p
