I did not like the Samsung LNA950 off exist viewing.
If you go to Best Buy some of the stores have the Pioneer Kuro, Sony 55 inch XBR8 and Samsung 55 inch LNA950 right next to each other for comparison.
Here is a good review to read. Yes it is the best flat panel Sony has done so far.

What about the Kuro made you consider it the better picture over the XBR? I saw the XBR8 and have not had the opportunity to see it beside the Kuro yet. I am very interested in your views.
