The best TV on the market IMHO is the LCD Samsung. (Sony's LCD screens are also made by Samsung btw).

See the particular one I want @ http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Samsung-40-LCD-HDTV-LN-T4065F/sem/rpsm/oid/175543/catOid/-12867/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

Samsung LN-T4065F.

Oh so very wrong. Sony uses Samsung panels, but the video processing is all Sony, as is the Power regulation for the panel. The Samsung LCDs and Plasmas are OK, but Pioneer kills them on the Plasma front, as does Sony on the LCD front.

Umm I said 'screens' which would be the same thing as 'panels'. I never said Samsung makes thier internal other parts. Just the screen itself. Which means that regardless of the other internal peices it will only look as good as the screen that Samsung built.

Let's see buy a Sony with less features that looks nearly identical for $1000 more. Sure sold.

 

 With proper caliration, most samsungs can get very close to sony sets in terms of PQ. However, you will miss out on the "braiva engine" and their SD processing, but external processors, or a mythtv, can do that better.

 

@ Superchuck, if you think the 65 series looks good, search for the 81's. They come out late summer and have led backlights that dynamically dim, so say hello to "perfect" black levels.
