You see that contrast ratio number? That needs to be a high as you can get, I would suggest Sony....you get what you pay for. We bought a Samsung unit a few years ago and I know things have changed but that TV was noisy to the point we had to take it back...we love our Sony.

Yeah, well I love my Samsung :). Just kidding, but I think the bigger choice here is the choice between LCD and DLP. Off axis viewing of DLP is unacceptable to me.

The Sony is SXRD not DLP.

I dont think DLP is the way to go, it is the cheap way to go but it is on its way out....folks want flat, and if we are trying to get the best sound...we need flat, slim, and ideally on the wall.

a friend works at a TV shop in town & suggests DLP or CRT over plasma, LCD etc that is unless you want something thin/narrow etc.

He also prefers Mitsu Diamond series over the more expensive Sony stuff

Most of the high end stores here in town also prefer diamond series over the more expensive sony stuff
