looks overrpiced.

Here in Alberta there at 50" Plasma for under $1000 and 40" LCD's for 600-700.

yea, but it has on line conection and 120hrz. id think this tv would hold me till OLED tv become affordable, i can also run it as a second desktop:up:

still overpriced.. :/

at that price a 42" panny v/g10 would be better

The reviews online are more positive for the Sharp aswell, im leaning more to this one now

The sony bravia's are really good quality though. We have the 40V4000, the W series are their flagship models.
I read some "professional" reviews, and the bravia's had the best contrast and colors if I remember correctly.

theres a 32" XBR9 for 699 but im not sure, i think i'll regret a 32 incher though. link: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10121979&catid=

Yeah don't go for a 32". We've got a 42" V series Bravia, and I like it. It's not 120Hz or anything, but that's what was affordable when we got it last year. Anything above 40-42" is purely luxury imo, unless you're sitting really far away.

WELL, i went down to the futureshop at 4am, there were 20ppl infront of me, stood around for 2 hours till 6, ran to the back to grab the sharp when...no tv, only display. i went asking a few people with the same response; out of the tv and should be in by jan 7. i was so pissed that i wanted to leave there with something, so i got a 40inch toshiba REGZA for 799 (link: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0770HDS0010122882&catid=23524&logon=&langid=EN )

I get home and set everything up, power it on when i notice some while bleeding from the top corners :shakes:

im going to hold on to this guy and return it when the sharp comes in, there is a difference between the two with image quality too, the sharp is a superior tv.

thanks for the input!
