I'm trying to decide between the Sony 55 inch802A model and the Samsung f7100 model. Which one should I purchase. The Samsung is $200 cheaper.

Depends on your preference. I'm a Sony person when it comes to most products and Bravia is one of the best.

We love our Sony 55 inch. The colors are vibrant. You can see the Sony from any place in the room, even right beside it! We love the recording feature and the pause feature. Wouldn't even consider changing to another brand.

Sony is better than Samsung as far as the processors and their color engines. I have studied hundreds of TV's and color gamut readings. Sony beats Samsung 2 to 1. I would by a Sony over a Samsung.

I saw plenty that were cheaper at Best Buy when I bought my Sony, and I went in intending to buy a $800 set. However, the Sony looked so much better than the others that I decided to pay the extra $ for it. So, it's up to you. If you think the Samsung looks as good then save the $200, but if the Sony looks better than it's worth it.

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

One of the deciding factors for me was that the Sony worked with more of the "smart" services that I use. We use Netflix and Amazon Prime, and, at the time, the Sony was one of the few that offered both.

Go Sony-You get a clearer picture. As my father always said,"You get what you pay for".

The 70 inch (70lb7100) is 31ms, which is much better than average. I would expect this model to do the same since it has essentially the same guts. The better Sony's will do about 20, while most TV's are around 50.

I have been happy with my LG. I think Samsung is a great option when on sale. The Sony's have seem to have lost their technology edge and are a little overpriced, but worth it if you find them on sale.

I've been researching the sets after deciding Samsung would be the best. There is an article on Cnet that answers your question about 120hz with a "no." They really didn't notice a great deal of difference to warrant the money. However, reading their review of the A550 they said they did notice a difference, but it didn't matter much. My deciding factor for the A550 is actually the glare. The gloss screens are supposed to provide better blacks, but if you're fighting glare I can't see that as a good trade-off.

We just purchased a Sony 40XBR4 less than a week ago and are extremely annoyed with the loud fan noise. We returned the first one and this one is even noiser. Did you buy a Samsung 71F or 69F? If so, are you happy with it? Any fan noise?D O'Reilly

Gamble. Thanks for the reply. If you read the reviews on Amazon it seems that the reviewers seem to think the 65 model is better! I would go for the 65 as I want the best display as possible. I watch soccer and need the better fast motion that this model should display (less blurry) hope this helps. Keep in touch!Mike

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 am extremely happy with the vizio 80. The size is amazing. Samsung has slightly better blacks

I like the Samsungs. We have had Sony Bravia, Sharp, and Samsung, and the Samsungs of recent years including the model 6350 are sharper in picture and we like the apps better, however, when buying a blue ray player we still stick with Sony, they load faster and have a better user friendly menu.

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.

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 think they are both excellent tvs. I was deciding between the 2 models, and finalized my choice when I checked them out at the store. I went with the Sony 40v4100.

How would you compare the Sony KDL-XBR6 with the Samsung LN32A650? I'm not too crazy about Samsung's so-called Touch of Color Design (TM) for its bezel (amber/black), however. But I'd like to know which model should I buy for my daughter's birthday. She lives in an apartment in Chicago.Thanks.Len Bloom

I looked at both and bought the 750....for the price (and difference) you are really looking at how important a super thin TV is to you, if saving $2 a month on your energy bill makes that big of a difference, or if you are that nuts about LED, for $800 I wasn't. 200,000 to 1 as a Dynamic contrast ratio is more than enough (you can't really tell much more of a difference). If you really wanna get the LED and are willing to spend that kind of money get the 8000 (even thinner and edge lit led). Because of the models above and below it, and price differences I don't see the 7000 making much sense unless you find a unique deal that only has that set on sale.

That clinches it. Amazon's good about accepting returns (I returned a Samsung late last year), but sounds like it's not worth the hassle this time. Thanks for confirming my choice. (I like Panasonic, too, but when I ask for a personal favorite from some of these sales guys who are around hundreds of TV sets every day, they almost always say Sony's the one.)

From what I have read the 65 is a better T.V. but is a couple hundred dollars more. I own the 65 and so far I am very impressed and would pay the extra money for the 65. Then again, I haven't seen the 61 but based on reviews that is what I would conclude. By the way, the price on the 65 fluctuates A LOT... I just bought it for 2164.99 August 5th. Two days later it was 2144.99 and a couple after that it was 2999.99 so I would be patient and wait until a good price comes around.
