I tried Sharp 42 inch for few days ago and had to return the set due to it's compatibility issues with Philips Sound Bar & reported PS3 compatibility issue as I am thinking of buying one. Now I got SONY KDL40W and I can say here that it is no where near Sharp which was cheaper by $450 (in Dec'08). I admit that Sharp has certain limitations especially with AUQAS taking over connected HDMI devices but the Picture quality is the best I have seen and I regret taking the Sony.

Wow..am surprised that the Samsung Series 9 isn't in here ..Am sure it was released 2008. That clearly ranks high above the LG Scarlet just with quality alone let along the features.

Wow, so all these tvs are better than the Sony Z. Considering you can buy a Sony Z at less than the retail you are showing for the Sony W, that is kind of farcical. Also, on the new Samsung, I totally agree it looks awesome with bluray, but have you actually watched free to air sport on it......it looks like **** The Sony Z destroys it in this comparison. The Sammy 6 series looks better than the 9 for free to air sport as well I might add. Now that tv should be in the round up for best bang for buck, regardless of release date.
