Hey guys.
I was looking for a fairly large (around 40 inches) HDTV for some time now. My dad was bent on getting this 32 inch(a bit smaller than what I wanted) Sony:

It is 720p and 32 inch but Sony for around $720 including taxes.
BUT, I saw this other 40 incher just beside it. It looked pretty good, but none of the TVs was hooked up to HD sources. This one was 1080p, 40 inches but the brand was "insignia". The salesman told me that it was Bestbuy's brand and that the panel inside was actually a Samsung panel. Can that really happen? or is the salesman just BSing me?

1080p 40 inch but Insignia for around 1000$ including taxes.
I bought the insignia one. But now I am having second thoughts on my decision. I can still return it. Should I consider the specs or should I just blindly put my faith on the brand name, Sony?
EDIT: grammar
