"Fantastic TV"
Pros: Sharp picture, great sound and a sharp, non -mirrored frame
Cons: Only 2 HDMI's & No-picture-in-picture
Summary: After more than a month of researching HD LCDs online and in stores, I chose the KDL46V3000 and 6 weeks later, I couldn't be happier! I narrowed it down to either the Sony or the Samsung LNT4665F. The Samsung had a great picture and a lower price, but two things led me to the Sony: the black, non-mirrored frame and the non-reflective glass. I have a living room with lots of windows and a lot of ambient light I can't control and didn't want to fuss with glare every time I turned on the TV. The Sony's picture is sharp, brilliant and rich in all colors, especially black. HD channels make it seem like you're looking through a window into the stadium/studio, and the regular channels look great too, although once you've seen HD, they admittedly look much worse.

The menu is easy to navigate (although I almost never go into it) and the build in speakers are great. Eventually I'll install surround sound, but until then I don't feel I'm missing a single thing. If you're shopping for TVs, you're going to be spending a lot of money anyway, so don't hesitate to spend a little more to get the best TV on the market! And if you're stressing between two or three TVs, keep in mind that when you get it home, you're not going to be looking at sets side-by-side and any minute differences won't matter anymore.

The only reason I gave it a 9 is because it only has 2 HDMIs and doesn't have picture-in-picture, although if it did, I don't think I'd use it often.
