I have both an Insignia (best buy house brand, rumored to be manufactured by Samsung) and a Samsung. Both have netflix built in. The Samsung does Netflix, Pandora, Youtube and Blockbuster. The Insignia only does Netflix but it has a USB port and can play movies off of that. The build quality seems a little better on the Insignia, to be honest. Neither have WIFI and I wish that one did.

I would say go with whatever is on sale. If you aren't making the jump to 3d they are all pretty similar. Make sure it is Blu-ray profile 2.0 though.

I bought the 40" version of your Pan. tv about 6-8 months ago. I have it hooked to my Bose and a cable box. I love it. Great picture and great sound.

We bought a Panasonic with wifi capability!!!

It's been great with Netflix!!!:-):-)

We got a Panasonic because it's the same brand as our Plasma TV. I hate using two remotes!

All the guys on the Geek Squad love the Panasonic!!!

Well, the first thing you need to do is turn it on. Hope that helps.

You're welcome.:-)

I've been hooked on The Show 08 on PSP for three years now! It's about the only game I play on PSP.

Have fun with the tv!:-)

I don't want to throw a kink in your choice of TV's but Panasonic makes a 50 inch G25 plasma thats better than the S2 has vieracast which means it has built in netflix, pandora ect... http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-VIER...7105044&sr=8-1 of course you will still need a bluray player. If you are dead set on the S2 i'd suggest the Sony S570 http://www.amazon.com/Sony-BDP-S570-...23&sr=8-1which has built in wifi. If you go with the G25 TV you can buy a cheaper bly ray player like the Sony S370 http://www.amazon.com/Sony-BDP-S370-...7105947&sr=8-1 which is a great player without wifi. If I can help you feel free to PM me. Also head over to the AVS forum you can find a thread on the S2 and G25 and it will tell you everything about the TV's http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1231956 and http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1232049

Also sony just released info on a blu ray player with google tv Sony Internet TV Blu-ray Disc player (NSZ-GT1), also available for pre-order on Sony's Web site. Google tv looks pretty interesting also logitech makes the logitech revue which adds google tv if you don't want it built into the bluray player
