52XBR4 compared to 52W3000: Anyone compare them side by side?

If you watch a lot of SD tv you will probably want to spend the extra $600 on the XRB4 since it will up convert the signal to 1080p. I have the W3000 and my friend has the XRB4 and every time I watch SD tv on his I realize how bad mine looks on SD. However if you plan to go mostly HD I would save the $600. HD wise I can't tell the difference between W3000 and XRB4

Not really sure... I have the SR model which seems a bit cheaper. The SRW may have some tweaks in design and features but otherwise, they seem to be about the same.

it's now $2000. crazy. I know the W5100 series is coming out very soon. do you think there is low supply for 52" W's, so they are marking it up?

Actually I contacted Garmin. And they acknowledge that 255w does have all the features of 260w plus more. And they can't explain why 260w cost more. So I guess I'm getting the 255w then.

Your question is on point for me, too. Finally found a review where someone had both binos; concllusions was there was a "subtle" difference in low light for him. I finally purchased the "old" model. I ow) n Swarovski binos, too. The Porro prism variety and they are great in low light; so heavy (10X50that I have the lolster and mount them on a monopod to use them. Just could not wait and I love the weight, clartiy and eye relief of the old model 7430. It was worth not going for the 7294 for me.

The XBR5 has a 120Hz refresh rate whereas the W3000 has a 60Hz refresh rate which really makes a difference when you are watching sports or fast action movies in which movements will appear blurry with the 60Hz refresh rate. You can really tell the difference with the 120hz refresh rate!!

I believe the digital display and the vent system of the 5270 is the difference. I have a 5270 and I love it!

I have both the 3540 (work) and the 3530 (home). The only difference that I really noted was that the 3540 has a larger interface display panel and all functions are accessed through the touchscreen interface panel. The 3530 has a smaller display panel and touch panel buttons that are used to access the printer's features (there is a number pad and arrows on the 3530 that you use to choose options, whereas on the 3540 you touch items on the display itself). Otherwise they appear to work the same and quite well. I am very pleased with them and would recommend either. As for the cost difference, I don't know. When I purchased them, the 3540 cost more than the 3530.

I want to know the same thing. I would like to try the Bluetooth, provided the 265W is as good and reliable, and has as good reviews as the 255W. Anyone had bad experiences with the 265W? Thanks, Gary

I also own both and I like them equally. Whichever was the cheaper, I'd buy that one. Although I do like the more matte screen surface of the 226BW.PS: It is tricky (and extremely important) to get the contrast/brightness set juuuuust right.

The xbr5 only has 10 bit the a3000 is better with 12 bit both have deep color.

If you want a good technical review of both, check out Rtings.com. They reviewed the LN5700 last year and will have their review up of the LB6300 tomorrow. The review of the LB5800 series is already up and there are noticeable differences between that series and the LN5700 in terms of motion blur, uniformity, and bright room performance. All are important elements in terms of picture quality, and grey uniformity is particularly important if you want to minimize the "dirty screen effect" inherent to many LCD panel TVs (of course this can vary within the same model unit as well). If the review is similar for the LB6300 series as it is for the LB5800 series, I also think the LB6300 series is the easy choice unless your biggest concern is how it performs in a bright or sunlit room. Hope this helps.

The XBR4 and XBR5 have 120Hz motion blur. The W3000 does not. Screens must be same size if they are labelled 52. The XBR5 has a glossy black colored finish. The XBR4 has a less reflective, customizable finish. Its a $300-$400 price hike to get the XBR5 instead of the XB4 (you do get an extra 6 months warranty with the XBR5).

I haven't have the chance to compare them side by side, but picture wise they look almost the same. I found it be pretty useful when you want to use the camera flash. I'm very happy with it so far. I'm sorry I can't fully answer your question at the time.

I am trying to decide too....The big differences I can see are the oversized pedals, backlit display, and a "better" seat. I tried the 230 at a store today...was pretty loose..but I do not think they built it very well and it has been super abused.Decisions, decisions!

I really don't think there is much of a difference between the 51 & 52. Before going to Costco, look around too see if there is a better deal out there, if there isn't then Costco away!
