3/5: From: CNET; Posted: Nov-23-2008; "at this price, compare before you buy"; it seems that current LCD technology is going down the same path as microsoft PC technology. it definitely gets better, but a little more cluttered with more patches and fixes and cover ups to get the most out of it. I am sure that will...; read full review | report as inappropriate

0/5: From: CNET; Posted: Oct-16-2008; Among LCD heavyweights, Sony and Samsung have been trading blows for the last couple of years at the top of the standings.
