samsung52" vs sharp52"

Consumers Reports seems to recommend most Samsung models well over the Sharp, and most other brands as well.
I compared the Samsung to the Sony Bravia and found that although the Samsung did, indeed, have a higher contrast and excellent picture, I found the Sony had more detail in dark areas of an image and presented a more natural image. The Sharp didn't even come close. I bought the Sony although mine is a 40". I've not been dissapointed.

Just look at the picture set up properly on both sets. Other than a Pioneer Elite, Runco or Fujitsu, not much beats a Sharp Aquos. The Sharp (If it is the Aquos) will BLOW AWAY the Samsung (I have an Elite, Aquos and Samsung).

Make sure the Aquos is 1080P, not 720P. If you can afford the 120 hz, go for it.

i went online best buy looking at Sharps and Samsung 52 " 1080p 120hz.there are a number of models from $1700 up to 3400.what makes them so different pricewise,i will not be playing any games on the tv
thanks
