Which to buy? Sony Bravia KDL-32E5500 or Samsung LE32B651T or other?

I am looking for a 32" LCD TV, it must do 1080p and 100Hz. I also want it to have networkable media streaming such as DLNA. Preferably it should also be Eco friendly.

I have seen the Sony Bravia KDL-32E5500 and the Samsung LE32B651T and am not sure which is the better TV? There is some difference in the price between the two - The Sony is £863.31 and the Samsung is £619.30. I am just wondering which is the better quality TV over all. The Samsung seems to have the better contrast ratio but I am not sure if that is the only thing to look for.

Or perhaps there are other better models that I havent considered?

Also is the software in such TV's upgradeable via. the Internet?
