However, the difference lies in the fact model X was built 2 years ago and now down priced, and model Y was built last year.
Sony isn't bad, but most time, their affordable TVs are usually something that was built several years ago to be higher end, and now the price is down because it only qualifies as mid class and people want to get rid of it. It's not the model is bad, but you're comparing a tv that was built 2-3 years ago with the specs of one built last year. (Same specs) guess what, the newer one is going to do a hell of a lot better than the old one. (It's going to be slightly cheaper too)
Regarding transportation... don't lay the fucking thing flat. There's so many more chances of you dropping something on it, or having something underneath that puts pressure on your screen that fucks it up ON TOP of the fact that it's not good for the components.

Next year Sony's releasing a new Bravia that will have new features, and will have features that will only work with the PS3. PS3 is getting 3D technology around fall of 2010. So I'm debuting to wait till next year or purchase one in the upcoming months (holidays).

Pretty much spot on with everything you said, and I agree. I will fight with you a bit on the laying of Large LCD's down flat though. Granted they are very well built and hard to bust, but laying it down for transportation in a vehical can cause pannel shift. This is where the actual LCD shifts on angle causing the image to be lopsided or bleed into the side of the screen. I have seen it happen on numerous occations. Normally with larger LCD's 46" and bigger, but I have seen it once on 37" LCD's. I do see a lot of Samsungs, but that's because they have the largest market share of the LCD market by far.
P.S. - don't you love the Sony Reps, and I talk about Fanboys. :) LOL

mmm really? . . .thats news to me then. . .ive sold some 55" samsungs and plenty of tvs over 46" and. . .well I dont go and load it into their cars but. . .from what i hear of their car descriptions they place it in the trunk. . .and i dont see any cars that can fit a vertical tv in the trunk.

That TV is Nice too. I just don't like the Glasses. They are still a pain in the butt... But the TV is AMAZING! I saw it playing Ice Age 2, the Detail was spot on.

Forget wearing the glasses, who needs them! I can see 3d enough without, never noticed that I was missing much without the glasses compared to with.

your friend
one thing i will mentino about LED tvs. I heard there was some problem with some kinda paint flaking off the lights or something in the early models.. cant remember what brand it was. Im hoping thats fixed now?
I too am sad about Pioneer getting outa the plasma market. A new Kuro or whatever its succesor was was going to be my next tv but i guess thats not gonna happen now =( I agree with Morreful that Panasonic is one of the better plasmas out there now that pioneers gone. Not sure why youd avoid that
I mostly use my TV for gaming so next time im going to have to seriously hook both the ps3 and xbox up and play a lot of different games.
I need something next time around with NO input lag, and NO motion blur. It seems like a lot of DLPs and LCDs claim they have no motion blur, but in order to do that you have to activate motion blur features that add to input lag! thats fine for movies but for games its a HUGE no no. So your left with either input lag, or motion blur that gives you a headache with prolonged play >_<
Are plasmas really truly free of motion blur? I always assumed they were but never tested it. Zero input lags a must as well. I remember several LCD people claiming that the newer stuff has no discernible blur or lag for gaming, but i find that hard to believe. I remember a lot of people claiming certain models had none when i ws last looking for a tv and they definatly did. What a casual gamer considers lag vs what real lag is for hardcore games is very different i guess. I wish i could just use a computer monitor but they dont make them big enough =P Why have computer monitors been great for years as far as blur and delay but TV's are still so ass? i dont get it
oh ya, and everyone says burn ins kinda a thing of the past with plasmas but i was always wondering about something. If you watch a lot of 4:3 stuff on it (ps1 xbox1) isn't that still a problem? you got those black bars on the side afterall.
let us know what you finally settle on tats.
Honestly i think this whole 3d stuff is BS. The junk in theaters is exactly the same crap they had when i was a little kid, it hasnt' changed. I dont get why its so big, its just a friggin gimick. These suposed steroscopic 3d things seem like bunk to me as well
