if its jus b/w Samsung adn Videocon, then go for Samsung..

for sure...
btw, my old Videocon 21" CRT TV lasted a whooping 12-years.. cant say anything abt LCD's as the max lifespan of LCD tv (irrespective of brands) is jus 4-5years at the max..

BUt, i root for samsung (if its LCD tat u are planning to buy) as it has got better picture quality, smoother video and really good sound..
