@tabsina:
You are very professional, and I think you are quite a good person for not giving me a backlash about my post which may or may not have seemed harsh.
Anyways, I do think that if you have the means to do so, you should go for a great tv.
And just to basically reiterate what others have said Sony and Samsung do make great tv's.
I think game mode on certain tv's can be (or any customizable mode) can be set to the optimal settings for any game system or any input at all. I just got a 52" 1080p Sony XBR4.
As far as price is concerned, you could go amazon which would be cheaper, but also riskier.
The Sony XBR4 is actually beginning to be phased out, which means sales right now. The 52" at my local best buy is not even available any more, and they won't be receiving any more shipments either since they are awaiting the XBR6 and 7 lines.
any way, you should go to Sony.com and look at the tv pricing, (which is very high)
I believe the 52 inch was something like $3500 on the site, but brick and mortar retail stores are having sales down to $3200. At circuit city, I was able to haggle to get the online price in store. Then I haggled to get the online 10% off discount.
So I paid $2879 after tax for the Sony 52" XBR4, and I am sure you or anyone else could do the same (or considerable cheaper for the 46") and end up getting what is now basically the top of the line tv for a lot less then you would think.
̶3̶R̶D̶ 2ND! Place has never been so sweet.
