I have a series 5 Samsung LCD 40" (A550) and its absolutely amazing. it was rated best LCD in consumer reports, rated one of the top on cnet, yahoo etc. 30:000 contrast, 1080p, get a good HDMI cable and you wont be upset..
and you can really see the difference from the samsung's superior 30:000 to the sony bravia's 20:000.. the blacks are darker and deeper on the samsung. the colors are excellent and the picture is sharp, clean, and clear. even moving images in motion like watching basketball and football is great.
with its new lineup of 2008 models Samsung has taken its spot at #1 for LCDs. Last year was the Sony Bravia and a few years back was the Sharp Aquos.. The best Plasma out right now is the Pioneer Kuro, but thats like $4000. the best CHEAP plasma is the Panasonic Viera- which is a quarter the price of the Pioneer
I compared the new Samsungs next to the Sony Bravia LCDs
Higher quality of the material they use to make the tv. Sony does not make their own screen any longer. Samsung is the primary maker of the LCD and LED screen. It is like buying a KIA and then compare it with a Toyota or a BMW. Hope this will help you out.
