Well at the moment, the Kuro’s (plasma) are the best TV’s available picture wise however the Sony X3000/X3500’s are the best LCD’s on the market, especially for under £2000 for the 40″ and 46″. I can’t wait to plug my PS3 into one. Sony’s X5000/X5500 will be out between September and November this year but I can’t wait that long.

LCD’s are better. Lighter, Less Electricity. Bought from amazon. Great Price. Great Delivery!

you guys suck! samsung is a great tv but not better than sharp and sony! sony, sharp, panasonic, pioneer, samsung, toshiba, jvc,lg and all the other crappy brands like prima thats my list of what comes first. maybe i like sony just because i’ve always liked them and that im getting a 46xbr4. or maybe its cuz they got amazing reviews and have great customer service..not sure..or maybe its because i work in the electronics industry and i’ve compared almost all tv’s and still to my eyes sony and sharp are the best..but not the 64u version of sharp thats not good at all..cheers

Plasmas are better IMO. I own a 42″ Pioneer (best plasma maker out there, My girlfriend has a 42″ Sharp, and the picture from that doesnt even come close to the Pioneer.)

#13 i dont know where you got that info from. At the very basic, plasmas have a sharper/clearer picture, while lcd’s have a brighter picture. If I’m not mistaken plasmas also handle action and fast moving images better.

well, what really helped the boost in sales was the promotion that sony had in australia.

Free ps3 with every legible sony bravia that you bought.

We bought Samsung 40H71. Absolutely awesome.

Sony looked nice, but with little calibration Samsung looked much better than Sony. I don’t really understand why people pay premium for LCD. Ok with analog quality of the receiver made big difference. Assuming digital signal, and pretty much the same panel any TV could look like any other competitor LCD ( within the same generation ). So why pay premium for Sony?

I used to be Sony ES guy, but never again.

LOL! Sony Baloney! They screwed me with MD. Then they screwed me with their MemoryStick garbage. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, FU too! I was hoping HD-DVD came through. too bad. If Pioneer came out with OLED tomorrow, I’d take it.

I bought a Samsung 30″ Slim-Fit Widescreen TV and I have been perfectly happy with it.

I love the picture, the sound, its perfect for my room.
