Consumer Reports says that the Samsung LN46A550 is the best LCD out there. Beating the Sony by a large margin. I too thought the the Sony would have been best until I looked at Consumer Reports. Hope this helps!!

I saw Sears is closing out the XBR6 46. Is Sony coming out with a new line or possibly an XBR7 46?

Hey I know you guys posted a couple of weeks ago, but if it helps, I have owned both the 4065 and the new LN46A650. I can tell you that the picture quality on the new series is literally leaps and bounds above the older models. I personally think that the 650 series is one of the, if not the best available lcd tv on the market today. If you do not want to spend the extra money on the new series, the 4065 is much better than the 4061, has a better processor, higher contrast ratio, brighter screen for better color saturation, etc.

This TV is great. I have mine wired so it didn't matter so much. The guy at the store said I needed a Samsung wireless dongle to make it wireless - so I avoided the extra cost. I found the Samsung support site very good - open up a chat window and ask them directly.I regret not dropping a few hundred bucks more for the 55" version.

I just got a refurb 46" Samsung LNT4669F from Amazon Warehouse deals and it is fantastic. Plus, we saved well over $600 by not buying new. You still get the Samsung 1-year warranty. If you don't like the condition of the t.v. when it's delivered, just refuse it. If you notice a problem later, call amazon and they will arrange pick-up for the defective television.

I don't know how much help I can be but I'll give it a shot. I bought the Samsung because I own a Samsung LCD 46" bought in '08. I was quite happy with that TV so I stuck with the Samsung brand. I really think the 46" has a better picture than the 65" LED. Could be because of a consequential loss of picture clarity that comes with larger screen sizes. The UN65 has a dual core processor but if you're really into "smart," I recommend the quad core (more money of course). I subscribe to NFL game replays and they won't load well (and therefore can't view) with the dual core; I have to use my quad core computer. I think the UN has a really reasonable price, but you generally get what you pay for (as the old saying goes). Bottom line . . . I like the UN65 but, at the same time, I am a little disappointed. The only way you'll ever know is to look at them side-by-side and remember, showrooms do not have real-life broadcasts (in most instances) so when you get one home, your picture may not be a great as in the showroom. Hope this helps somewhat and good luck!

I just compared the Sony XBR4 with the Samsung 71F. I found that the Samsung had deeper blacks, but to the point of hiding details in shadows or low light areas of the picture. With the Sony, the blacks were not as deep but it was possible to distinguish more detail in low light images. Overall, I found the Sony's picture to be better.

I just got the new 46" 860...been out about 4 weeks. It blows away my XBR. And the 860, unlike the 650 and 850, has almost NO GLARE. That's why I got it instead of going Sony again. The 860, I think, is the best LCD on the market in it's price range.

I have the 48inch also I upgraded from a newer LG and to me the LG always seemed a bit washed out and the blacks were very Grey.This Sony has a beautiful picture and the black is truly black. Great TV and and price!!

I like the White framed and Burgundy framed LCD HDTV's better they look more distinctive, plus the sharp stand allows for Tilting and moving of the TV, the Sony does NOT allow any movement of the TV. However I wonder about the reliability of the Sharp... never have had a Sharp TV my Sony's have lasted at least 10 years without any problems... The Sharp model is native 1080p and built for gaming. You have to get the Sony 32XBR9 for a comparison...it just came out and is 999 at BB

I went with the 4661F mainly because of the non-glare screen. I looked at them both, side-by-side in the store at Best Buy in full daylight and the 4665 was just too reflective and distractive, like looking into a mirror. So what if it has a better contrast ratio. It's really negligible unless you are a videophile geek with superhuman bionic vision who can really distinguish between contrast blacks. And for the money, the 4661F is the better deal. Easiest choice I have ever made buying a television and couldn't be happier.

Thanks for checking this for me! Yeah, I've been checking out the 4061 as well, but right now they are very close in price, so I thought it would be nice to bump up in CR and get the better sound (especially sine I won't be hooking up surround in this location - above fireplace in LR.) The 4066 sold by Worst Service has the exact same panel, but the sound is not as good since they ditch the side speakers to narrow it. Not worth it. I'll probably go with the 4061 since I know it'll fit and also seems to be an outstanding TV.

James Friel, nice price on the 46 inch 1080p Samsung. That sounds like a great deal.

I was at my local Big Box store today trying to compare the 3 mentioned TV's and the samsung is a B860 not 850, and I ruled it out because the edge of the TV (all the way around) is clear and it creates a very distracting reflection. And they now no longer carry the V10 in a 50" but have it in a 54", and offers it up to me for $1888., Out the Door!!! I think that deal is gonna be hard to beat ! Is there anything such as "to big" ?

I found this review on cnet... it doesn't call out every LED/LCD TV.. but lists quite a few. I feel the reader can extrapolate how their TV model should stack up. But according to CNET; the Samsung 46" LED TVs are about 40% more efficient than the Samsung 46" LCD TVs. some highlights Samsung UN46B7000 107W Samsung LN46A950 146W http://reviews.cnet.com/green-tech/tv-consumption-chart/?tag=contentBody;nextPage

I had a 22" Samsung for 6 years and it performed beautifully. When I needed a larger screen I looked at Samsung. The 40" Samsung 6400 I bought also performs beautifully. I bought the 6400 because I can receive movies and text on my Laptop and see them on the TV Screen. I know I can do it on the 6400. If this is important to you, check to see if the 6300 can do it also. Bob C
