That tv is basically the same quality as the Samsung. I just like Samsung better than Sony and that was my determining factor.

Fuck haven't really had time to enjoy it yet.... I just moved in a couple months ago so I've been busy furnishing my place.
Yeah man... picked up mw2 today and I can't wait to rip it up on the new tv.
I think I'm also gonna get the tv professionally calibrated. FS said they would do it for $150 (50% off) since I bought the tv from there. I wanna see what this tv can do when properly setup.
In regards to your dilemma, I think you should wait for the Samsung. Quality wise, you probably won't see much of a difference between the 2. Both are really good tvs. But from what I've read and from talking to some of my techy friends, only real difference is the Samsung has more options than the Sony. Personally I just like the way Samsung's look and the interface is user friendly and stylish.

But the thing is he said I had to get the 3 yr extended warranty and if it wasn't used, it would convert into a in-store credit. I'm sure if you buy like a hd pvr or something else you won't have to buy the warranty.

I'd say buy one of those and either sell it for $150 after or rent it out.

Basically, Samsung B750 Series is the Best LCD.
If you want something better than B750, it gatta be LED backlight Models.
The 8 Series, its from last year, it is "A850". And there is no "B850" on the market.
Sony XBR cant really beat Sammy 750 now.
And XBR price is still 400 bux more than 750......  Thats pretty OOXX.
Also, I would say ~ Sammy is crashing the TV market now. lol 150,000 DCR, 240Hz, DLNA, USB Media, ~ at that crazy price.
Too bad that Sammy B8500 isn't sold in Canada. (Fxxk Sammy), otherwise, i would have it by now.
Overall, I still like my A950 the best. XDDDD

ok my BRAND NEW DILIEMMA (spelling) http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...0128062&catid=
or samsung 7 series 750
i suspect 7 series i can get around $1800
Sharp LED i suspect staff can be had around $2200 plus taxes
therefore if $400 dollar difference
top of line LCD king of the hill samsung 7 series>?
or more of a lower model 120hrz sharp but LED!!!!! which means wayyyy higher contrast ratio = win, and brighter..lasts longer
FUCK now i really really cant decide
im stuck with these two, forget about the rest...really trying to decide now

its just a gimmick | everything at Futureshit is a gimmick. What I tell everyone is to research what they're interested in ahead of time, and only go to FS for the actual purchase. They're guys don't know shit all, especially when compared to the combined knowledge of RS. Quote:

It'll be like those oldass CRT's some people have that WILL NOT DIE (like my parents 25 odd year old Candle TV)

true LED is expensive, don't confuse it with LED backlit.\
edit: one other thing I though of. if you have it in a room with windows/lots of lights, having a matte screen is key. contrast and blackness levels don't matter for shit if you have tonnes of light reflecting off your screen.

LED TV: each pixel consists of several LED's for each colour, so any individual pixel can be turned completely off, giving amazing black levels as there is zero light emitted. Looking at a fully black screen will be the same as looking at it when the TV is turned off.
LED backlit: an LCD screen is backlit by LED's instead of standard bulbs/panels, which will last damn near forever and should be brighter. realistically it's a sort of a gimmick to make some people think they have an LED TV with the crazy new tech, but really they don't.

I have a 42" Toshiba Regza. It was one of their first 1080p LCDs. I've had it for a year and a half or so, and never had a problem. This has been used for thousands of hours of gaming.
