yea the guy who wrote that article has no clue what he's talking about, lmao at the part where he's talking about sony HDTV's, the bravias are top of the line you get what you pay for cheap skate

 

Samsung is more "top of the line" than Sony is at the moment.

 

Yeah, pretty much. It's all about consistancy. Samsung makes great TVs, at great prices, that are very popular. Doesn't get more "top of the line" than that.

 

Not true. DLP televisions have always suffered from the rainbow effect (Samsung were making DLP televisions then) until recently with the incorporation of the 3 chip DLP which Samsung now employs. Also, Samsung expressed regrets when SONY ended their LCD partnership when SONY decided to partner with SHARP instead.

EDIT: And to elaborate on that past Samsung and SONY relationship, you call Samsung "top of the line" which I've agreed, but it also applied to SONY since their LCD technology were developed in the same plant because of their joint venture...

 

Samsung and Sony To Consolidate Their LCD Lines

So, yeah, if you think Samsung is "top of the line", I agree as well as I did in a previous post. But given the big picture, you need to give SONY as much credit as Samsung given the facts. Pease put down your personal SONY hate and see the truth.

I was addressing Sony's customer service, stability, selection, warranty, and pricing rather than just the components. 2 years ago, Sony was the best HDTV on the market(like the PS2), imo. Now, you've actually got choice for top of the line TVs(like with game consoles), like Pioneer, Sony, and Samsung. It is just my anecdotal experience that Samsung is more "top of the line" than Sony when it comes down to all the features. Sucks for Sony to lose their dominance, but choice is always a good thing.
