Should I go Samsung or Sony for my first HD TV?

I faced the same choice in December after several weeks of researching aided by multiple reviews and Consumer Reports evaluations. In the end it came down to the superior picture on the Samsung including the 120hz feature which results in smooth, sharp action in sports programming. Added Samsung's dedicated BlueRay disc player (1500 model), popped in the first segment of BBC's Planet Earth, and nearly got vertigo following the opening river shot over the falls. Bottom line: the 630 delivers a great A/V experience at a reasonable price with no distracting high gloss glare. Picture superior to nearly everything else on display store after store.

In answer to your question, I am thrilled with my 75 Samsung's pictures. Have three Vizio Florida and they are a good picture but not as much depth as the Samsung. I have been told that Samsung is a better design, and having just junked an 80 inch two year old Sharp A reliability was one thing I was looking for!!

You may have already decided by now, but I will give you my opinion anyway. I bought the Sony a couple of weeks and am very happy with it. The deal breaker for me was that the Samsung has a shiny, reflective screen, which is very unusual for an LCD. Since my room has many windows, I went with the Sony.

I feel like Sony is more better than samsung compared to picture quality and sound. So I would prefer Sony. Please check the review on Cnet

Everyone will have varying opinions on this. Personally I'd go for the 120hz. The best advice is to go view each of these TVs and go with the one you like best.

It's hard for me to give you an answer since there were more variables that went into my decision to buy the 65f6300. If you want bigger size for a cheaper price then go with the Sharp. If you have more specific questions about the Samsung, such as picture quality and screen uniformity then let me know.

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?

Yes. I got a Sony and took it back. This TV is amazing. Not only that, the sound is even better. Pandora sounds amazing. There's the highs I've been missing all this time. Can't go wrong with this one.

The sharp television is very sharp, but there are distortions sometimes in commercials and other programming. Not all, just some. The images look cartoonish. If you do not want your pictures to look like Soap Operas you should go with a 60hz. The sound leaves a lot to be desired as well on the Sharp. Not sure about sound on Samsung's. With Sharp you must consider adding a sound bar or other speakers.

I own the Panasonic, so obviously I'm biased. Worth noting that the 54" V10 has just been crowned the King of HDTVs...Buy the Panny. If nothing else, their customer service is WORLDS better than Samsung.

I replaced my 7 year old Sony Bravia with the Samsung 6350. I think Samsung has a much better picture quality than Sony. You can't go wrong with the Samsung 6350....I'm very happy with mine!!

Great question. Best to wait until HDMI 2.0 is in these TVs (later this year). I was told by a salesman in HHGregg Samsung will be charging for the upgrade, not sure about Sony.

Deb,,I've had our Seiki TV now for a little over a year now and so far so good. Of course it doesn't have all the bells and whistles like a Samsung TV but then again, a 40" Samsung is like $300 more than what I paid. As I said into review, I got a great deal on a Black Friday apecial at Brandsmart that was muck lower than any deals I've seen on Amazon. It even has 3 HDMI connections that is more than some of the more expensive models. Hope that answeed your question.

TV hopeful, obviously you will buy what you think is best and Costco has the new Vizio 55 inch for $1800 but I am floored by the picture on this Samsung. I was going to buy a vizio but decided to hold out for this Samsung once they released their new 55 inch LED LCD and figured I'd get a good price which after a lot of work I did, $1620.00..good luck in your purchase which ever one you decide to get

I agree, don't let brighter mean better. If you read some of the "expert" reviews they tend to state that standard settings are more true to life. C-Net and other sights rate the Samsung picture as good as any. The sound on both TV's is adequate for everyday viewing. If you are looking for a "cinema experience" no TV sound system on its own will be great. I compared both and went with the Samsung but that is my personal taste.
