The best thing would be to check things out in action. The Sony LCDs are great TVs, but to my eyes they don't compare with even the basic plasmas from samsung and panasonic. At the end of the day....whoever it is who started this thread...i am forgetting now.....go see these things for yourself, and see what makes you happy....and then buy it

The larger panels are more expensive to manufacture. In addition, to drive larger panels you need more powerful electronics inside. That is the reason for the cost difference.



1. LCD or Plasma? The difference is very thin. A couple of years ago one could argue that Plasma was better for clarity and for motion. Today LCD panels have come a long way and can compete with Plasma, at least upto 42 inches.

2. Full HD and HD Ready? A full HD has 1920x1080 pixels. A HD Ready has 1920x 768 pixels. Many DVD Players and AVRs today upscale upyo 1080p, and that can be displayed in all its glory only on a Full HD Panel. Again, as I mentioned, a Full HD panel will matter only in 42 inches and above.

3. Samsung or Philips? I have already answered this question. The Samsung is better in terms of features, while the Philips supports Full HD and is 42 inches in size. You can make the decision easily depending upon your requirement.

There are a number of threads on 1080p. Please read them and then make up your mind what you want.

BTW, you say you have seen the TVs. Have you auditioned these systems? If not please take a your own DVD (with fast action) and first audition these systems. You decision will then be much easier. You just buy what your eyes like.

Cheers

but the samsung A550 is a real value for money.
although the two sonys are advertised as BRAVIA ENGINE 2, the image processing in the sony V series is not on par with samsung 5,6 series, sony W series.the V series gives out a softer less sharp image then the other lcds mentioned above.
there is infact no difference b/w the sony S,V in terms of performance,unlike the last years model.

the panasonic models has extremely good colors and viewing angles.but there contrast are at best 50% of samung and sony,black levels also arent good as the SPVA panels.

in the below images notice the details in the grass where sony based on SPVA as the advantage in contrast shadow details.

the above image from panasonic 32inch 720p tv.


the above image from the sony W series.


the above image from samsung series 5.

as u can see the sony has the advantage in detail followed by samsung and at last place is the panasonic.

I may not buy HDMI cable immediately may depend on TV scaler.
i.e.DVD> composite> LCD> upscaling> HD picture

Secondly do all have 100 Hz freq?
