Which TV: Sony KDL40XBR4 or Samsung LNT71F or Samsung LNT4069F?
296807
I just compared the Sony XBR4 with the Samsung 71F. I found that the Samsung had deeper blacks, but to the point of hiding details in shadows or low light areas of the picture. With the Sony, the blacks were not as deep but it was possible to distinguish more detail in low light images. Overall, I found the Sony's picture to be better.

I forgot to mention; I have a separate sound system, so I'm mostly concerned with the picture. How would you compare the picture quality of the two TVs?

I just purchased this tv and the picture quality for regular channels is very poor... movies look great, but I am not satisfied with watching regular talk shows.Samsung LN46B550 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color

Answer to your question: Either the Samsung 4061 or the Sony 40V2500 for under a thousand bucks from Amazon Warehouse. Samsung has impressive color; Sony has sharp, life-like detail. I like the Sony.

Honestly, these comparisons depend on the taste of each one of us. A few years ago I had plasma TV from Sony, after it came time to buy the new Sony's xbr and now I'm preferring the new more expensive models from Samsung.

I am certainly no TV guru but, I had purchased the LN40A550 & returned it & bought the LN40A650 & could not be happier! We noticed immediately that the picture looked faded on the 550 & went to one of the local retailers & found that this is a common complaint on these units. They actually had a LN40A550 & LN40A650 side by side in the store & there is a huge difference. We are very impressed with the picture quality regardless of what we are watching. We have had many friends commenting on the awesome picture on this TV. Hope this helps. Les

Go to http://www.samsung.com/global/experience/ices2008/index.jspThe new 6 and 7 series TV info is all there. At $2799 for the LNT5271 you're better off waiting for these IMO.

A 55 inch SONY will be a much better TV, especially in quality. See: Sony XBR55X850B 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV (2014 Model)

Don't buy a Sony TV. They are completely unreliable, and Sony's warranty is worth NOTHING. I bought this TV, and two years later with VERY little use, and absolute care the TV failed and the cost for repair was more than I paid for the TV. I junked it, and bought a Samsung! Fantastic TV, and complete platform compatibility right out of the box!!!

The model number listed here UN48H6400 is a 48" TV, and is a smart TV. The 6400 series does not have a 46 inch model. All TVs in the 6400 series are smart TVs.

I just got a refurb 46" Samsung LNT4669F from Amazon Warehouse deals and it is fantastic. Plus, we saved well over $600 by not buying new. You still get the Samsung 1-year warranty. If you don't like the condition of the t.v. when it's delivered, just refuse it. If you notice a problem later, call amazon and they will arrange pick-up for the defective television.

I have been doing lot of research on LCD TVs and my observation is LN52B750 is best with internet, 240Hz and 2ms response time for almost same price as the other models. Red TOC some times distract your view compared to the Gray TOC in B750.Fry's in sunnyvale,CA has the B750 model for just $1704 until July 16th.

I'm not familiar with that particular model (The 4096), but the LNS series has been replaced by the LNT series. From what I have heard through extensive research, the LNS line had clouding on dark backgrounds, a problem shared with the Sony LCDs, since they use the same exact image panel.Keep in mind that this is a fantastic deal on the 4061 currently on Amazon. Go to a brick and mortar store and it will be several hundred dollars more. I think you are probably spot on with your assessment of the situation regarding the price. I just purchased the LNT-4061 today after extensive research, and here's hoping it's not too good to be true.

I purchased the Samsung LN52A860S2F a couple of days ago and I was told by the merchant that these tv has a better picture quality then its predacessor, but I can't find that fact anywhere. I wonder if I got tricked in to paying $200 bucks more for nothing.

So where did you find the Sony KDL-32L4000 for $474.53? That sounds like a great deal.

Thanks. Sadly Amazon gets finer details wrong some of the time. I posted this same question on the gold box page and was directed to www.sonystyle.com. The 504 TV is a 720p just like the L5000. It costs less everywhere you can find it listed. The contrast ratio is listed as 8,000:1 as compared to 13,000:1 for the L5000. Also, the MSRP for the 504 is $399... so I fail to see how it is a "doorbuster" at $379. The 32L5000's MSRP is $449. It was on sale less than a month ago for $399. Value wise $50 off is $50 off. I'm just going to wait for the 32L5000 to be $399 again.

I have been a life-long Sony fan. I bought my first Samsung TV (UN55B8000) 8 months ago and am totally satisfied. I have not experienced any issues whatsoever. The picture quality and price of the Samsung blows anything Sony had at the time I made my purchase. I highly recommend Samsung!
