Samsung LN-T4061F

Summary: Coming from a Sony Trinitron flat tube, this is an amazing TV overall. Since my tube died last month, I've spent many hours researching the internet and stores. I started out like many, looking only at price. After the first couple visits (and a few talks with sales clerks), I found myself trying to justify spending $3k+ on a set with the so-called "top of the line" features. After struggling with myself for weeks, I decided to forget about things like 'motion-flow' (120hz) and others, since these will undoubtedly become standard manufactured features in a year or so - much like 1080p is now. I then narrowed my results between the Samsung and Sony. After a side-by-side comparison between these two evenly matched sets with respect to price, size, resolution and the same signal coming in from the store, there was little question in my decision to go with this Samsung. It has excellent contrast with more vivid and realistic colors than the comparable Sony (at any distance). I've found only one flaw with this set, but to me it can easily be overlooked since I'm running a Bose home theatre and don't use the TV speakers. That said, be warned. The sound emitted from this bottom-speaker arrangement is less than average. Plan to connect an external audio source and be 'blown-away'.... It's obvious the entire R&D went into the picture, where it's most important.
Hope this helps.
