Which TV should I get? Please help ASAP

Ok... tomorrow is Black Friday and it's gonna be really hectic. There are two TVs I'm looking at. I think they both look ok, but to me, there isn't one TV that looks better than the other.

One TV is a Westinghouse 32" HDTV LCD. The other is a Emprex (huh?) 32" HDTV with ATSC Tuner (huh?) Anyone know which one I should get? I'm mostly going to use it for gaming (Xbox 360), possibly use it to watch satellite TV (probably non-HDTV) in the future. And what does a ATSC tuner do?

Any other TV ideas? I know about the Sceptre TV's at Costco (har-har) and have heard nothing but bad things about them.

The price margin is very small ($20) so I want the best, most reliable, made for gaming 32" HDTV LCD. Or if anyone else has better ideas, I would be willing to buy anything between 27" to 32" and under $500.

THANKS!

I found another deal.... its a little expensive though. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LNS324...&s=electronics

BUT, its a Samsung. Love their phones, is it worth it to shell out another $300 to get the Samsung? It also has that ATSC tuner or whatever that is.

I'm probably going to sleep in 4 hours so any advice would be appreciated.

If not the Sammy, pony up the $1299 for the Panasonic 42" plasma. I'm really not a big fan of the other's listed.

Oh, and FWIW, we had a 15" Sceptre LCD as our kitchen TV for 4 years with no problems. I recently replaced it, but not b/c we had any problems with it, but b/c we put it into a guest room and I bought another 15" LCD for the kitchen.

Thanks anyways, but when I went to Best Buy it was waaaaaaaaaaaay too late. It opened at 5am, I got there at 4:45am. I got in line with a friend, but he was way in the back. There was easily over 200 people in front of us. When we got inside, I went straight to the TV section, and the only thing they had left was a 15" LCD.

I saw the Westinghouse display in-store and it looked great. I'll probably get the Samsung when prices drop enough, though.
