Just to point out, reccomended is different to best of. What Hifi in UK ( The most respected UK Home Cinema magazine along with Home Cinema ) Both dont have any SOny or Sharp products in the best of 2009. Thats top 5 for Bluray players, HDTV's etc etc. Not 1 single Sony or Sharp product. But then that is out of what was available to physically buy off shelves at the end of 2009 in UK.

Invalid - attempt to interject one's personal interpretation of a word by citing an example of a different source independent of the original source the word was derived from.

So thank you for wasting bandwidth.  ;)

Um not at all. What Hifi have given a reccomendation to Sony TV's in 2009. But there is no Sony TV's in their beest of 2009. So my point is which you have missed entirely is that a recommendation is entitrely different to Best of. You see?The source that was quoted was not a best of. It was a review with a reccomendation. In other words a good TV. But by no means is it a best of or top 5. :)

When Sound and Vision reviewed the Sony Bravia KDL-55XBR8 55-inch LCD HDTV, they said, "Though pricey, Sony's LED-backlit XBR8 establishes a new performance benchmark for LCD TVs."  And that was 2009.  I don't know about you, but "new performance benchmark for LCD TVs" strongly implies something.  And "top 5" have always been very subjective because no tv technology from any brand is perfect in any setting.  And I'm not claiming that Sound & Vision is always correct.  So what's Sound & Vision's "top 5?"  But as someone else tried pointing out, this thread had nothing to do with Samsung.  Someone had to throw it in for "good measure" as a means to troll.  Very obvious.  I wasn't the one originally trying to point to a single source as the ends of all means as a common cherry picking tactic.  You should be focusing your attention to the ones using subjectiveness to push a point.  But then again, it doesn't surprise me for you to side with those of the same subjective agenda.

Hey it's all good. I know people still have there fave companies. But if you can show me a best of list in the last 10 years for Tv's, seperate systems or DVD/BluRays where Sony comes top it would be great. Sony haven't been the leaders or best products in those kinds of markets for about 10 years.Names like Arcam, Marantz, Samsung, Panasonic, Pioneer, Cambridge Audio, Kef, Mordaunt Short etc are all top tier in their fileds.
