Mr. Furious · 04-14-2008, 02:26 PM

So, I'm about a month away from pulling the trigger on one of these new sets. I'm retiring an old direct view and putting this in the basement. It won't be my main TV, but it will be pulling heavy duty.

Goals:

- Xbox 360 (Video Games)
- HD Movies/Broadcast TV
- PC Integration
- SD DVD

I thought I had decided on the LNT4071F, but the release of this new generation of TVs, its now a harder call. The LN40A650 is a 10-bit panel, higher contrast, and a faster pixel refresh. It also exceeds the specifications of the Bravia in several areas, but I've read that some people still believe the Bravia has the sharper image. Also, I'm expecting to see the LNT4071F and the KDL-40XBR4 drop in price to deal with the introduction of this new offering.

Any opinions?
