Sony Grand WEGA KDF-50WE655 50-Inch LCD Projection TV with Integrated HDTV Tuner
samsung versus sony
I owned the samsung 42\\" dlp before this unit.  The samsung service was INCREDIBLY bad--it couldn't be any better than what is described in other reviews.  I had innumerable problems with this TV, including service calls, washed out images, and total failure.  I finally got them to give me \\"permission\\" to trade this in for the sony.  This product is far superior.  However, do yourself a favor and get a calibration disc.  This will improve the picture immeasurably.  If you are going to spend big bucks on a tv, pay the money to get the dark/light and color in focus.  How can others complain about the \\"black,\\" if they haven't had it professionally calibrated?  Playing with the tv menu and complaining is like changing the stations on your car radio and saying your engine now runs rough.  geez!    My only complaint also concerns outputs which are limited as another person stated.  However, if you hook up inputs correctly, the output problem becomes mute.  I run a satellite receiver, DVD/VHS, 6 speakers (psb and paradigm) and audio receiver with this TV, so connections are a bit tricky.  I also wish that they had included the computer input which many other hdtv's have--however the price of this tv is somewhat lower than other 50\\" so that trade-off seems understandable. For the money this is a great tv, and 50\\" is a wonderful size for a larger living room.
