    Whichever is a 37" ;) it's all down to preference really, its hard to say because you will have different expectations of a tv, see different things from the screen and different budget!

    On looks alone I prefer the Samsung and will be looking at more detail in these once my old box decides to pack up...let me know if you get it and what you think ;)

    Not much to choose between them, I would go for the Toshiba, I don't like the shiny reflective surrounds on Samsung, + their support services are not the great, should you need them.

    I have a 40" Samsung & love it, the blacks are black ,colour & picture is amazing especially when watching blu-ray. Samsung all the way for me...
    What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!

    I prefer the quality of the samsung to toshiba. I have owned both (not those exact models)

    Samsung gives a consistently better picture and much deeper blacks from my experience.

    To be honest, there probably isn't a " better " one from the other, it really is down to personal taste, your best option is to go to a shop, ask them to demo them both using the same source material.

    Personally I would choose Toshiba as being a better brand than Samsung, but that is only my opinion.
