don't always 100% trust salesman as they only want to sell or clear off their stocks......you have to compare both tv with the same settings & same source

My company has 4 Regzas 2 - 50inch and 2 - 32inch used for monitoring purpose and as a welcome signboard for visitors
All spoil except a one of the 32inch...
I'll go for the Sony or Sharp..but check for dead pixels for the Sharp..If got then it becomes your problem.
Anyway, I never really like the black levels of LCD (except Sony High End Models). Worst is, LCD gives a feeling of a thin black line on edges and even humans outline.

I must admit that the Philips new 5000 and 7000 series look damn good! Check it out at the KLIAV Show, JW Marriot Hotel, KL This post has been edited by richard912: Jul 24 2009, 04:21 PM
