OK, ouch, not to get OT here, but have you looked at Samsung? Have you looked at the consumer ratings between the two? Only thing Sony got over them was in the highest end model's, and again this is like buying Alvarion or Canopy to UBQT as far as price is concerned.
I may be blind, but I spent 3 hours watching both of them before I decided on my LCD. I could be a weirdo too, lol.
