Best and Latest LED LCD

by aborhan May 25, 2009 2:12AM PDT

I am in need of a new tv and want to get the latest and greatest. I am a huge fan of the A950 as well as the XBR8 and want to know if there is anything comparable being released this year. I don't care about thickness or 240hz technolgy( UNLESS IT IS REALLY NOTICEABLE) ..wireless bb and widgets would be cool but not a must have. just want to know if i should wait until sept/oct for something new or just go ahead and buy the 950 now...thanks

In my opinion the A950 is the best. I've seen the new 8000 series from Samsung that is replacing the 950 series and I don't think the picture quality is as good. No local dimming, and they are side lit. Not as good black level. I'd go with the Samsung 950 series or find a nice Pioneer Elite plasma somewhere.
