        I saw the 55" Samsung LED at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago and I was blown away. I couldn't believe how thin it was and how clear it looked. LOL I would love to have one of these, but that price is high.

        Oh and to answer your question e0820, I would go with the Samsung.

          It's a toss-up. Definitely wouldn't pay that asking price on the Samsung website. Buy it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001U3Y8MW/...0&linkCode=asn

          no taxes and free shipping

              make sure its 120 hz motionflow though...thats the minimum requirement IMO for a LCD these days. plasmas are already 600hz so no need to worry about those.

                One question I have is about the Sony. If the answer for Sony is yes, then I'd pick up the Sony. Is that Sony capable of 1080i/p?? I'm reading it and it seemed like it is through HDMI but its native is 720p. It's cheaper and would seem to bring about more bang for the buck. I am a fan of Samsung but if the other side is greener, can't help but check it out a bit more.......

                    The Samsung you posted has a dynamic contrast ratio of 50,000:1 which is awesome.

                    The Sony you posted has a contrast ratio of 13,000:1 and it isn't dynamic which is well below average.

                    The Samsung wins by a mile!

                      FYI, contrast ratios are pretty worthless when comparing HDTVs. Each company calculates it differently.

                      I wouldn't choose either without auditioning them in the store, but I seriously doubt you'll see very much difference in PQ.

                      Number of HDMI inputs and refresh rates would be bigger deciders, IMO.

                        If it is native 720p it can also accept 1080i. The tv will convert it to 720p.

                          I would in this case. My Sony is 50,000. So I think Sony might be the same.

                            That's what I'm saying. How Sony calculated it to be 50,000 is not the same way that Samsung calculates it since there is no standard. Contrast ratio tends to just be a selling point.

                            Trust your own eyes is the bottom line.

                              But I think it does. If they have my TV which is at 50,000 then I think that Sony at 13,000 is at 13,000. Many the Sammy has a better picure Making it a better TV. I would like at the Bravia 32. You can get that for a fair price and that is very good TV.
