The Sony LCDs are nice. I was either going to buy the Sony LCD or the Samsung DLP 50". Both had great pictures, but my research showed the DLP is better in bright rooms and my living room is bright. Got the Samsung 5067W DLP. The picture quality is awesome. It pairs nicely with my Directv sat system, can't wait till football gets here. The NFL Sunday ticket with super fan add-on gives me over 100 HD games this season!!
