Which 16:9, 46" RPT--Toshiba v. Sony


Due to space (and wife) constraints, I need to get a 46" RPT. I'm having a hard time deciding between the new Toshiba 46in. Cinema Series that comes out next month ($2000) or the Sony KP-46WT500 available now for $1600. Apparentely the Toshiba will have upgrade any signal to 1080i. The Sony probably doesn't have as many bells and whistles. Does anyone have either of these??
Also, any other models in that price range I should look at. Thanks in advance

The toshiba gets my vote, just picked up the 57 incher and it's killer, second choice would be the hitachi and forget the mitsubushi and sony! Just my .02 worth!
Happy tv buying!
BEST 50" PLASMA???......AGAIN PIONEER ELITE!!!
2ND WOULD BE PANASONIC PLASMAS OVER PIONEER NON-ELITE MODELS.
My advice is to do your research on everything out there, go with the company that has the best after sale service. Make sure their is more than one service center in your area should you need it for that brand, they do not fix these big TVs in your living room, they take with-$$$ and may have it for some time. Go to avsforum.com and read about any and all problems, lots of info. on this site. Good luck.
As you can see opinions on TV`s differ, just like on every piece of equipment, whether its speakers or CD player.It`s just like with cars , there are BMW croud and Audi people and every group will try to convince you that their cars are the best and they all will be right , it`s hard to argue , because both makes are great. It`s just a matter of personal taste( I, myself, is an audi fan, LOL). And everyone has a point, the best way is to go to the dealers and take a look for yourself. Of course Pioneer elite series are great, but they cost a lot more than you are willing to spend.I`d go with Sony , great picture, high def, and it`s only $1600.00.Just my few words.Good luck choosing YOUR TV.
