Sony vs Samsung

[Blindpilot]

I need to replace my bedroom tv and I can't seem to decide between Sony or Samsung and then which model to buy. Here are my choices:

Sony KDL-46V3000 or KDL-46W3000

Samsung LNT4665F or LNT4671F

I understand that the LNT4671 and 46W3000 are the more expensive choice as compare to their older models, but are their PQ really better? Kinda hard to tell since they are not side-by-side at the store.

What do you guys think? I need to pick one ASAP before the wife changes her mind.

Samsung, LNT4671F

25,000:1 Contrast, 120HZ, great LCD

I don't know about those models, but I have a 50" Samsung Plasma 1080p and love it!

I have a KDL-40V2500 and love it. I think the one's you speak of are 24fps too.

I just purchased a Samsung LNT4671F a few weeks ago. WOW is all I can say. I have always purchased Sony televisions but I have to say the Samsung has a better picture at this time... This TV has a lot of options on it and is cheaper than the Sony XBR line. I would compare the 71 series to the XBR4 and XBR5... I have a PS3 hooked up and wow the 24fps is awesome... The sound is great... No complaints with this set...

honestly ive set the 71 and the 69 next to the xbr4 all day and the xbr4 is still better.
but the 69 and 71 are cheaper.

as for the OP

its unfair to honestly compare the w3000 to the 71f as the 71f is the xbr4 competitor.

Although on the same side the v3000 and w3000 would be considered above the 65F. all in all, for you the 65f would be a bottom buy, the v and w a mid and 71 a top buy for you, unless u jump to xbr4 and that would be ur best

+1

That being said though, I wouldn't pass on the v3000 if you are a Sony fan...

Samsung is nice, I like my Sony's though...

Generally I find Sonys TV better, the LCD Engine and the 100+hz technology is just better than Samsungs. Samsungs 100hz often lags, so to say.. youll often have pixels errors in that pixels, seemingly, arent being updated as fast as the picture itself, which leaves smudges in the picture. I myself have a Philips, which I would say has a better engine than most samsungs at 100hz, but Sonys is still better that both. Oddly enough the people I know who have samsungs arent aware of this, and dont notice it when watching dvd, bds or playing xbox360/ps3 - Me and my other buddies who have a mix philips, sonys, lgs, and pioneer, notice it instantly everytime we view their tv.

Samsung 71 is the way to go...but please purchase 10.2 gbps capable monster cable no matter which TV you choose...otherwise, from what I learned from this website, you may be short changing yourself...
