XBR4 vs KDL3000W - worth the extra $$ for the XBR: Anyone care to offer any insight as to whether the XBR4 is worth the money over the KDL 3000W?

I went today to look at HDtv's. I saw both the 46XBR4 and the 3000W and another 3000? Sony. All I can say is that by far the XBR4 was crisper and brighter, it looked more like reality. They had ESPN-HD feed on from Direct-TV. Is the difference worth the price, that's something you have to decide. Go look at them, I saw them at CC. I actually spent a good hour in a recliner they had setup and just watched the 46XBR4 comparing it to the sets around it. This is the one I'm getting, it was simply the best picture constantly, even better than models bigger in size with 1080p. It really stood out in the finer details when next to the other sets.

I ending up buying the Mits wd-73835. It is the higher end model. Still a great deal vs plasma. The Mits bulbs are now only $99. On the other hand the Samsung at $1730 is a wicked deal and no bulbs to buy.

Hiya D.Mao, The thing that caught my eye was the screen size. The 350 has a smaller screen size (320 x 240 pixels), while the 250W has a screen size of 480 x 272 pixels. My opinion? Give me a larger screen any day. I want to keep my eyes on the road and I already have a MP3 player.

It could be the watts . The kit I bought turned out to be a 200 watt set compared to 300 watt which is more for commercial use .There is an even stronger 400 watt set. I'm still happy with what I got for the price but I wish I knew the difference in advance so that I would have had chance to look around for the 300 watt model . I have been checking the bdf model but can not find anything , The F may stand for factory reconditioned so try to do more research first.

even though i haven't seen the xbr5 in action, i have seen the xbr6 up close and personal and can tell you that it is definitely far better investment than the xbr5. the 10bit color depth makes all the difference, and as far as xbr6 vs. xbr7 120Hz is sufficient. cdw has the 52" xbr6 on sale for $2942.99 link: http://dw.com.com/redir?astid=2

I'll tell you man, much more power. Complete tunability over ESC and motor. All though its much bigger than the vxl but totally worth it. 5mm shaft by the way. But yea. You want speed and brutal power this is the way to go. Ideally use 4s. Perfect combo

Can't make up my mind between Sony KDL-32L4000 for $474.53 or Sony KDL-40S4100 for $858.83 out the door. Will be for master bed room or for "fitness" room (incentive...). Any recommendations? Which one is a better deal?-This depends upon how far your equipment is from the television. 8 more inches for $400 seems like a big jump. There has to be better values if you want a bigger television. However, the price for the 32" is a great deal.

If you watch a lot of SD tv you will probably want to spend the extra $600 on the XRB4 since it will up convert the signal to 1080p. I have the W3000 and my friend has the XRB4 and every time I watch SD tv on his I realize how bad mine looks on SD. However if you plan to go mostly HD I would save the $600. HD wise I can't tell the difference between W3000 and XRB4

if money was no object....i would buy the elite....its bigger (70 inch i believe)....its the only LED ive seen to best a plasma, BUT with a price of almost 8 g's id def rather have the VT, and definitely if the VT beats last years model. so basically the elite is nicer, BUT id rather spend more money on the vt and get a bad ass surround sound :)

Halogen is hotter and uses more power ( watts ) . The LED will use less and last longer , generally more of a direct light from LED and whiter .I think its a win win for you .

The 52" XBR4/5 has the "floating glass" bezel and side speakers, which not only makes it wider than the 52" W3000, but also gives it a more elegant look. If you have limited space, then the W3000 is your best bet. However, if space is not an issue, go with the XBR4/5 with the 120Hz Motion Enhancer. It makes the picture "pop-out", like 3D. Really amazing picture clarity and color. I have the 52" XBR4 with PS3 setup.

I have the 55W in my trailblazer SS and my wifes yukon has the 35w and i can see a difference but im not sure its worth the xtra money! if you dont mind spending a little more then i guess its worth it, but your not gonna get the 35w and be disappointed from the stock change.

I agree with Hans, but you also have folks who prefer the light quality of a halogen. I generally go to xenon after halogen, depends on the situation. sam

I did check out PriceMad after I posted and there are way too many negative comments. I did buy the KDL 52W3000 from Amazon, thru their dealer, J&R-----.; I checked J&R; out and comments/reviews are great. I got it for $2199 with free s&H.; and it has been shipped, so they say.Whoopee!
