Samsung 40" Widescreen LCD HDTV** (LNT4042H)

I am currently in Korea while my mom is back in Canada. Anyway our 6 year old JVC Tube TV is falling apart - the screen is dropping and it takes a few minutes to get going.

She needs a cheapish new tv and preferably one with a headphone jack. She wathes cable tv and some DVD's. The headphone jack is a key feature because her hearing is poor.

This one is bigger at 40' over her 32' tube - but she is worried that the LCD screens are too slow - I have not been looking at these for a few years but they seems glitchy back then with a lag time that tubes did not have.

That said my laptop LCD is perfect in this regard.

I am not the least bit up on LCD tvs. Samsung seems like a good brand - no JVC please this is two JVC in a row that have stunk out the joint for us.

If you can think of another good alternative for the same money that has a haedphone output let me know.

Also - how good are these things from a build construction perspective. In the old days you bought a V and got 20 years from it -- not I see 1 year warranty which they push and push - I am leary on warranties but these screens look really cheap to build -- $50.00 worth of materials going for $1-$3k?
