wildcard451 0 #1 November 10, 2010 Well, after my renewed interest in video games - I am finding my 5yr old sony bravia 40" isn't gonna cut it anymore. I was looking at these two TVs, and find it hard to believe that 3D is THAT much more of a difference. Can anyone else see much of a difference, or have a better recommendation? I am limited to 50/52" http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/670950-REG/Sony_KDL52NX800_KDL_52NX800_52_BRAVIA_1080p.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/670960-REG/Sony_XBR52HX909_XBR_52HX909_52_BRAVIA_1080p.html Thanks kids.

turtlespeed 226 #2 November 10, 2010 I am extremely happy with http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=panasonic+viera+tc-p50vt25&hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1W1ADFA_en&prmd=ivs&resnum=1&wrapid=tlif12894151599741&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=13356963496541810606&ei=GOraTNPJJsP78AbdvcDgCQ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CEgQ8wIwAA# My Panasonic. More features than I can use, including it's own internet connection like a PS3 has and such. Their 3D is what I linked to - but you really don't need all that yet. It's a waste as you are very limited in what is available.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManagingPrime 0 #3 November 10, 2010 +1 for Panasonic. Remember not to long ago when plasmas were 20K +.... Give it a few years for the 3D price to come down...more than likely the current incarnation of the tech will not even stick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildcard451 0 #4 November 10, 2010 I could care less about 3D. Not even in my looking. Just wanted to make sure the remaining specs were the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 883 #5 November 10, 2010 I just went with the Samsung PN58C550. hhgregg had it for $1296. I have been a major fan of plasma for a long time and am very pleased with the improvements they have made to the technology as well. I couldn't be happier with this tellie. Amazing picture and specs. Nice options and settings. No clue on the speakers though as I haven't used them at all. I love the look and finish, no stupid stickers of features, no corporate name in glowing lights, just an amazing picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he is going to buy this for gaming - thenm I would suggest a Klipsche surround sound I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 883 #7 November 10, 2010 meh...efficient speakers but not as accurate as I like. I have a Yamaha receiver - hope to upgrade it next year. I currently have the RX-V3000 and want the new RX-A3000. I have a room full of NHT speakers, mains have 2 sets of crossovers, a large Velodyne sub, and a few Aura Pro bass shakers powered by a mono 250w class a amp. For some strange reason I prefer movies at home as opposed to going to a theater. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
