You will see that some tvs in the same row are spliced 10 - 15 times and some only 1 or 2.
Never assume, thats what they want you to do.

Sorry for some reason I thought this was about the Sony. I do not have a Sharp but the Sony Bravia

Good point, but that would be pretty silly to splice it 20 ways and have it sit beside cheaper tv's thats only split 1 or 2 ways that look better.

I dunno, going with the sumsung either way thou. Just got to save up abit more cash.

A good way to audition the units you're interested in, is side by side in a separate auditioning room using the same set of sources.

I did this & ended up choosing the Sharp.

I tried Blu-Ray, Shaw HD & SD DVD sources to make my comparisons & viewed the displays with high & low ambient light conditions.

Sharp's colours were not as natural as the Samsung's but the depth of blacks & the overall sharpness won me over.

The Samsung was slightly better in high ambient light conditions.

The big box stores refused to let me audition the units like this but I found a Visions dealer wiling to set it up for me & also willing to match any locally advertised price.

.

I was going to say who would actually let you do that, but thats pretty nice of visions to haul around TV's and set them up so you can do a comparison.

They helped me to shortlist 3 sets & hooked it up in one of their rooms for me.

The room had a Bravia hooked up so moving 2 displays from the showroom wasn't too much hassle & I did drop a couple of thousand on a HT system with them previously.

It helps the customer that times are hard I guess...

I love my samsung 52" series 6. Wouldnt trade it for any other tv reported to be in the same category. Plus samsung warrenty is great, I had hard wood installers bang a board into the tv and ruin some pixels and all i did was send a picture of the problem and model numbers to a repair store they ordered the pasrt came to my house and fixed it in 30min in my living room.(wholy run on sentance batman)

on the ship I bought the 52" 120hrz and the 42" 120hrz sharps, and we have a 40" samsung. I will take the sharp over the samsung anyday, and as a rule I stay away from the overpriced sony.. although my wife did buy me a soney Blue ray, which is good, but less features than a lower priced panasonic unit. but now I have to admidt I do one one sony product :twised:

I would never skimp on a blu-ray player, its all about start up times. Some of the cheaper ones can take up to 3 minutes to turn on.

enought time to go to the bathroom then :mrgreen: there are a lot of blueray players out there with higher ratings than the sony, but I think its ok, little choked it won't play mp3's though...
