5 Stars 10-bit Processor and 10-bit Panel
I recommend this new Z series or an XBR (over 40″) due to one fact – the 10-bit Processor and 10-bit Panel. The S, V and W series all look great, but they have 8-bit panels this year (see chart above). For the deepest blacks and best color reproduction, the 10-bit panel/processor makes a huge difference, more than any other LCD feature difference I’ve seen. The 120hz is impressive, too, giving a 3-D effect, especially on Blu-ray/HD playback, and can be turned on and off. If you like Samsung, the 650 and 750 series also have the 10-bit Processor and 10-bit Panel and 120hz, but I think Sony has a more natural picture – hope this helps. Been shopping for 8 months, uugh.
5 Stars 3 inches of screen for $1000 ???????
Not really sure why the price of this TV is $2300. The new Sony XBR 37 inch is only $1300. How much is a 52 inch going to cost? $4,000? Again, Sony makes no sense and over charges for their products. I’m buying Samsung.
