Samsung TV quality

My brother is looking at buying a new TV and he looked at a Samsung HTP5054 (50" Plasma, 720P) at CC that he liked, although I speculate it is more than he can pay right now. He also knows someone at a local ABC Wharehouse that warned him against Samsung stating a number of returns with issues. I am curious if others agree or disagree with this thought about Samsung.

(A friend highly recommends the Vizio P50HDTV (50" Plasma, 720P); this TV has been around awhile but seems to have always been well received and it can be purchased locally for around $1300. My brother said the Samsung had a better picture but there is also quite a price difference between them.)

I also have an HL-S7178W that has been ISF calibrated. PQ was very good out of the box, but is stunning after ISF calibration. The PQ, screen size, features, and cost are hard to beat.

I went with Samsung for this new set based on past experience (this is my third Samsung DLP), and comments from ISF calibrators at avs forum that it provides the most accurate picture after calibration.

I got an extended warranty for the first two sets, and used them once for a bulb replacement, but did not get the EW on the 71" set.

Thanks
