difference between this and 62U I can't get through all the marketing BS. What is the difference between the 62U and the 92U models?

The static contrast ratio is 3,000:1 instead of 2,000:1 as well. That's one of the best I've seen for LCD.

u also get a DVI for better PC input....6 inputs with 1080p compatible......

5 vs. 4 wavelength backlight means better color reproduction.120hz refresh rate means less judder/smoother motion on fast moving action scenes.15,000 vs. 10,000 Dynamic contrast ratio means deeper blacks (ie, see more picture detail in dark areas of image).I think those are the main differences and justify the higher selling price (but perhaps not to the tune of $1,000-$2,000....$500 difference would be more realistic)

Also, and a big one IMO, this model has three HDMI inputs opposed to the 62U's two.

thank you everyone for your posts on this discussion. Very helpful and concise. I love this feature of Amazon!

Quentin's right on there - the color difference is noticeable and does look better.Also, with the 120hz processor, it accepts 1080p over the component-in input, which means you'll get a much better picture from non-HDMI devices such as the XBox 360.Also, at the shops I've seen lots of banding issues (read up on this - common problem) with the 62U, but didn't see that at all with the 92Us.Locally the price differential is only $400 ($3400 at local stores, vs $3000 for the 62U). The $1k difference is probably due to price breaks on the to-be-discontinued 62U line.

I don't know but at a quick glance the specs seem to be the same. In the past when I've seen small differences in product numbers like this it was because one was made to sell in a particular big box store. There may or may not be a difference in the product. A big box store that offers a price match may or may not recognize the two models as being the same for price match purposes.

I just bought the 45 and the only difference I saw between the two at the store was that the 65 has a digital display. I'm really happy with the 45 and I don't think it is worth the extra money. Also, check at your local stores before you order because I got mine from Kohls and there was a $50 rebate included.

I need to know that as well! It seems like the 7518 is newer than the 7518xb. They were first on Amazon on 2003 and 2001, respectively. Does anyone know what specs difference do they have?

Agreed. I have been looking at the 85U for about 2 weeks and this is the lowest price I have seen. Thank you Amazon. Unbelievable that the 85U is cheaper than the lesser model (80U). Plus, free shipping! I was looking at other New York outlets and they raised their prices over the past few days. Thanks again Amazon!

Hmmm, look at the pictures and model numbers. I see no difference. Somebody's confused.

The 990 is the newer model. As far as I can tell, there really isn't any difference except the price.

The one in your link is a newer version, higher power, difference design. Anyhow, it is depends, which design you like.

Regarding the discontinuing of the 920, perhaps Sony is doing it so "quietly" is because it was too GOOD of a receiver for the price! The 920 was a GREAT value, as it offered a LOT of HD features for the $600 (or lower) cost. True HD, DTS-MA, GUI, FOUR hdmi inputs, etc. I returned my newly-purchased 520 unit the moment I saw the 920 go on sale for $450. I would wager than any comparable unit will be more expensive in the future.

It looks to me that the only difference between 024us and 020us is 020us comes with 1)Bluetooth and 2) 802.11n, while 024us has no bluetooth and only 802.11b/g. Check this out: http://www.msimobile.com/nblist.aspx?series=U120

I cannot speak to the difference as I have the 612 model. I love it and have no complaints about it whatsoever. I highly recommend it. Sorry I cannot speak to the difference for you

Sorry but I'm not know exactly the difference. I had this model and it works very well.

Hello, The Epson MovieMate 62 and MovieMate 85 have a lot of similar features, such as the built in DVD player, Dolby Digital speakers, and both are portable. There are two main differences between the 62 and 85. The 85 has a little bit better resolution than the 62, but I watch the 62 on my wall and the picture turns out great. The other difference is the price. The 62 is about $200 less than the 85. At the end of the day, if high resolution is important, the 85 is the way to go. However, if you want a good, quality product for your money, the 62 makes more sense. Please let me know if you have more questions. Thank you.

As a mater of fact, I talked to the company today. You can find the comparison on the Sharp sight but there is more to it. First the Dynamic contrast is 15000:1 for the 92 and 10000:1 for the 64, making the 92 much better. The 92 came out Feb 07 while the 64 came out Aug 07. Sure the 64 is newer, but the 92 has the contrast. The 92 has another level of backlight (the ambilight function) kind of like a table light with a pull cord, full once more and get a brighter light. You get the picture. 92 has detachable speakers 64 does not. DVI-I conection (for a computer) on the 92 where the 64 has RGB. and lastly, all connections for the 92 are in back while 64 has some on the side. As I said, there is a comparison chart found on the Sharp site. I'll be buying the 92, sure it's about $700 more but it's worth it!

No significant advantage to the 9200. I suggest avoiding Parrott BT car products. They are notoriously unreliable. I'm on my second unit and will not get another. Neither I have had lasted more than 2 months.

The 713+ has a faster processor and can handle up to 7 HDD's with an expansion unit. The 214+ can only handle 2 HDD's.

Well, thanks for trying. I hope they reply! I noticed they merged those two models with their description as well which makes it hard to figure out the differences. If you dont get a response I'll definitely try to call and find out.
