I intentionally left title comparisons out because it is a highly subjective point, and not one which I can base any sort of real recommendation on.

No use of empirical methodology and easily could be skewed all sorts of ways.
The surveys are ongoing and data is scheduled for publication in December. the respondents from the survey come from casual site visitors, forums, etc ... so a good mix of HDTV enthusiasts.

And I never claimed to be, but I am aware of how these relationships (on both sides) were established.


Thank you for taking the time for such a detailed reply,
