The Sony web site lists an "Advanced Video Menu" for the XS ... I have no idea what it is ... I am also considering both of these sets and look forward to any replies.
Are there any differences in the engine or picture quality or is it just the hookups and chassis? I've heard there is an additional 'video' menu on the 'XS' series can NE! shed some light on this?
Also, NE1 have comments on the built in HDTV tuner quality on the Sony TVs? I might also consider the Mitsu 52525 if this set has a better tuner.
Anyone please feel free to share info/experiences.
