What about nu8000? Is it comparable to the Sony? Or would it be more comparable to the x750 / x850? It will be in the living room. But 90% of the time we (me and my wife) will be on the sofa directly facing it. Also I noticed the prices in Malaysia are lower than SG. Any idea why?

Thanks Convael! You're indeed a Guru on TVs. Now I'm being poisoned to go for the next level of TVs after reading tons of TVs namely the LG 55 B8 which is pretty cheap in Malaysia as compared to Singapore.
