Any suggestions or recommendations?

Re: Samsung vs. Sony LCD TV

If their features are comparable... then go with Sony.... nothing beats a Sony TV !!

Re: Samsung vs. Sony LCD TV

In the store, the Samsung actually seemed better in terms of quality and reception. But a lot of ppl are saying go with Sony. This is confusing. smack

Re: Samsung vs. Sony LCD TV

I agree!!

Samsung is the number in LCDs, They produce awesome quality TVs, they out do sonys by a mile. Sony is way behind in technology, and they are over priced. Samsung is the way to go!

Samsung is always made in Korea - not the top but very good quality control, consistent and technology. Sony is made all over world where labour is cheap to compete the price, quality control is generally poor. If you find Sony made in Japan, then go for it - but it would be dearer than Samsung.

Re: Samsung vs. Sony LCD TV

I have a Samsung plasma and love it. Its got great picture quality, was less expensive and has a better overall look than Sony. Looking at expert reviews, their LCDs seems to rank pritty high up as well.

Re: Samsung vs. Sony LCD TV

I think we are going to back and look at them again. Thanks for the comments. smile

sky, the two we are considering are both relatively the same price. Sony plasma is out of the question for us, so its going to come down to whichover one has the better quality picture and refresh rate in the showroom.

Re: Samsung vs. Sony LCD TV

Sony actually sources LCD screens from Samsung. (There are rumour that Sony might move to SHARP LCD screens.)

However, Sony signal processing is more advanced than Samsung. Samsung mostly ranks high because of its value (price/feature ratio) and not because of its very high quality imagery. Sony Bravia X Series is considered best in its class.

Re: Samsung vs. Sony LCD TV

Samsung is better than Sony when it comes to LCD unless its newer techonolgy from Sony with a LED based LCD(very very thin)

Re: Samsung vs. Sony LCD TV

Sony's reputation for great pictures is true. they cost more but it's worth the extra bucks.

We went with the Samsung! It just had better picture quality than the Sony (atleast in the store). There was no significant price difference between the two in the size we bought. The different people spoken to at the different stores preferred Samsung over Sony in what we were looking for. We also read reviews online and took those things into consideration.

Thanks for the replies. smile
