Same pixel element count between both the 40" and the 46" - smaller is better on the 40. No disrespect to the 46" though - it blows away the Samsung units - hands down - mainly for the fact that the processing circuitry is far superior and faster. Plus this set has picture setting memories for each individual input - an absolute must! HD looks spectacular, Well mastered DVDs look damn close and composite feeds are cleaned up 10 times better than anything in it's class - including Pioneer Elite plasma sets which are totally over-rated. Sony states everything is up-converted to 1080p rez and it certainly appears that to be the case. No burn, very minimal blur (on SD feeds), gobbs of user adjustable settings and stupendous blacks/contrast. There's plenty of margin in this set so work the salesperson; 10% off list is an easy achievement. Also, blow off any attempt to sell you an extended warranty; you can get one directly from Sony after the fact. Just over $300 for 5 years, coverage is good and in-home service is part of the deal. Why pay upwards of $900.00 from someone else; spend that money on other stuff...]]>Sep 16th 2006 11:25AM
