well after a little research, the 55xs955 is the only model with the 2 hdmi inputs. Dvd upconversion should not be a reason for an additional hdmi input in my opinion but hd-dvd will be in the future. Besides the additional input on the xs model, you also benefit from a 100 watt built in speaker system, an anti glare screen and a bn samoother. The only model available at my end currently is the 60xs955 due to the new product line being innitiated. It is currently 3899 with 10 % off on a sears card until saturday. Email me if your interested. But, in short the A20 model is almost a clone of the wf model but the price is cheaper. a20 model retails at 2999 for the 55 in comparison to 3299 for the wf. Any other questions...contact me at your earliest convenenience.
For months I have been lurking forums, researching and looking for a big screen HDTV. I have narrowed it down to the 55 inch Sonys, and (until the new unit-KDF-E55A20-came out) had narrowed it down to the KDF-55XS955 or KDF-55WF655.
I would REALLY appreciate some of your guys comments / suggestions on which of the above three (3) I should get. Does the new model improve picure quality over the old? What are the differences?
I had about decided on the KDF-55XS955 because it has two (2) HDMI inputs---one for my HD satellite receiver and one for my upconverting DVD player---but did not know if the much higher price was justified.
Thank so much!!!
