THe 85U is light years ahead of the V series Sony. The blacks are much blacker and the colours are more vibrant on the Pany than the Sony. The 85U is the best bang for the buck of any TV on the market!

Hello. I am almost close to selecting KDL52V4100. All you owners of the TV, would u know if the screen has matte finish? I wanted to see this TV in BB but could not find it. so I havent seen it. I have seen SHARP and LG HDTVs and they have excellent matte finish. Can you please tell me how is screen finish for this SONY TV ?

I just ordered the 52V4100 as well. Was this close to getting the Panasonic Plasma, but after reading last week Pioneer and Toshiba are dumping Plasma technology, and next year Samsung and Vizio are phasing it out, I am led to think Plasma is losing the battle for some reason. Perhaps it's all the rumors of burn in, break-in periods, excessive heat and energy usage. I don't know. I went with the Sony. The price I got was too good to pass up ($1250 with free shipping).

KDL52V4100 is just a great unit to have. I got it before Thanksgiving and the image is clear, sharp, and bright right out of the box. I've tried almost all of the features, and hooking up my computer for gaming. Although I bought it for ~$1600 @ Fry's, it's still pretty good bang for the buck. And yes, the screen does have matte finish, but it is really fine grit, almost like glass.

600 Bucks? WOW! At that price, it's time to put the 42LD450 in the ring with the Samsung LN 40C630. Personally, I'd have little hesitation landing on the Samsung for the extra 50 bucks. I hear the Samsung is $50 better than our LG, but not $100+ better.

the 50PZ77U has 2 speakers vs 4 on the 2700U. The 2750U got great reviews on home theater magazine, but can't seem to locate this TV in any stores to see it.

I have found two other differences - 6350 comes with quad stand and WiFi ready; 5500 - square stand and WiFi capable. Coming to difference in refresh rate, as long as you buy the TV less than 39" 60Hz is absolutely fine, 120 is just a hype for 32" version. 5500 is VFM. 6350 is bit of luxury. Hope that answers your question.

There are pretty much the same it terms of specs, with only a few differences. First, is the ever so marketing touting contrast ratio. Plasma HDTV's will seeming always have better contrast ratio then LED, but uses 2 to 3 times and sometimes more energy. I have the F8000 and I must say haven't had any issues to date, but I also read some good things about the F8500. Cnet has a good write up and video review on this very comparison, you should check it out. As I said earlier, the F8500 black levels are darker, but the F8000 can really brighten up a room which I prefer myself. The major physical difference is the weight and style of both HDTVs, the plasma is bulky while the LED is slimmer. Which ever you choose, I think you'll be pretty pleased with your purchase.

I wouldn't listen to all the naysayers. I have a Tecsun PL 660, and yeah it's good, but I also want one of these. And I've heard good things about them too. One feature I like is the light stays on while plugged in (while the Tecsun doesn't).

The only difference that I know is the 5200 is a little better, not by much you may get an additional 5 min longer run time on the battery. Hope that helps

8350 is much better - but I'd save your money and get the 5030ub - the ultra back makes the picture pop and I swapped my 8350 for the 5030ub and made the viewing experience 100% better. Spend a little extra - you get what you pay for.

I get 45m down / 6m up with Uverse. I have about a 2-4 second delay. Frame rate is a little choppy as well as the audio, but all in all it works pretty good. I would suggest the 932L over the the 930L though. The Day/Night feature is worth the extra $.

The b8500 has local dimming LED's whereas the b8000 is edgelit with LED's. The local dimming allows for deeper blacks and better overall picture quality. In my humble opinion the local dimming is fantastic but with a 1300 price difference right now its just not worth it to most people.

I have been doing lot of research on LCD TVs and my observation is LN52B750 is best with internet, 240Hz and 2ms response time for almost same price as the other models. Red TOC some times distract your view compared to the Gray TOC in B750.Fry's in sunnyvale,CA has the B750 model for just $1704 until July 16th.

They both share the same body/features/imager main difference is the W850K has a twin camera, for a picture in a picture video. Also the W850K has infrared nightvision. Those are the main differences.

The KDL-32L504 has a dynamic contrast ratio of 8000:1 whereas the KDL-32L5000 has a dynamic contrast ratio of 13000:1. This means that the KDL 32L5000 does black and shades of black better. It also means it is more expensive as a result of the better dynamic contrast ratio. Otherwise, the units are exactly the same.

J. Greer, which Best Buy did you get your TV from? The ones that I have visited in MI are not even carrying any 950s, I am not sure why. Also, did any of you compare the picture quality of the 950 with the 850? Is there a big improvement? Not sure which one I want to get, I realize one is LED and one is not but the A850 has a great deal on it while the 950 is on the expensive side for me. If there is a big difference I am willing to spend extra on the 950. Thanks!

The 42RV530U dosn't have many reviews, Should I get this set or the 42RV530U? The 42RV530U supposedly has a contrast ratio of 15000:1, but its missing the colorburst tech and its cheaper on the Toshiba website.

Lio-NJ, With the HU8550, you'll get: 1. An increase of CMR (Clear Motion Rate) of CMR 240 (HU6950) to a CMR of 1200 (HU8550). This includes the panel rating, picture processing and light system - so for picture quality, this is a significant jump. You also get the UHD, but with Precision Dimming - only on the HU8550. 2. 3-D is included on the HU8550, as are 4 Pairs of 3D Active Glasses (SSG-5150GB) 3. You get both a Smart Remote and a Universal Remote control (HU6950 has Smart Only). Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I originally had the same question since I also received the 5200Ah, but I installed it and have been using it since June without any problems.
