Ditto!! Finally someone who knows what they're talking about.]]>Jan 6th 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/05/samsung-opens-up-lead-on-sony-in-us-tv-market/http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/05/samsung-opens-up-lead-on-sony-in-us-tv-market/
That's probably due to the fact that your friend was looking at TVs in a store where LCDs are brighter and more eye catching. Once you get them home, it's a completely different ball game. I don't care what they look like in stores, for my money I'm getting a VIERA (plasma not LCD) or a KURO.

I will give you one thing though. The 650 is the nicest LCD Samsung makes. If someone forced me to buy an LCD, it would be either a Bravia or a Samsung 650. But again, only if someone forced me.]]>Jan 6th 2009 5:28PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/05/samsung-opens-up-lead-on-sony-in-us-tv-market/http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/05/samsung-opens-up-lead-on-sony-in-us-tv-market/Jan 6th 2009 5:08AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/05/samsung-opens-up-lead-on-sony-in-us-tv-market/http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/05/samsung-opens-up-lead-on-sony-in-us-tv-market/
Still, I have to wonder about Samsung, but I have one 24" LCD 1080P LCD in my computer room and two Vizio flat panels (42" LCD 768P and 50" Plasma 1080P) elsewhere in the home. Still no Sony, though.]]>Jan 6th 2009 6:08AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/05/samsung-opens-up-lead-on-sony-in-us-tv-market/http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/05/samsung-opens-up-lead-on-sony-in-us-tv-market/1. Prices are lower - consumer doesn't realize that alot of the time they're getting a 720p tv or a plasma because they are thinking $999 for a 52 inch flast screen tv!!!!
2. Samsung's TVs are sexy, sony's look like they have buck teeth

See the buck teeth?

Any consumer who doesn't realize they're getting a Plasma will probably be pleasantly surprised when they get it home and it looks even better than LCDs they've seen. Of course I'm talking good Plasmas here (KURO, VIERA) not a Vizio, LG or Samsung.]]>Jan 6th 2009 5:28PM
