Take the Sony

by dennisond Mar 30, 2006 10:38AM PST

Personally, I'm a Pioneer man but between the two I'd take the Sony every time. Of the knowledgeable people I know, nobody has anything too good to say about HP or Dell entries in this field. !080p wont do a bit of good if plain old 480p dvd's look like poopoo.

Sony gets my vote

by kena10 Mar 30, 2006 2:08PM PST

I have the KDSR-60XBR1 and my only advice is get the Sony. HP makes great printers and fax machines but Sony has been making tv's for a long time.

Sony all the way baby!
