I am looking for a 16:9 TV for a home theater. I am currently looking at the Toshiba 34HF83 ($1500 on Amazon including shipping) and the Sony 34XBR910 ($2000+tax in local stores).Given the price differential and picture quality, which would be the better selection? I already have an NAD T753 reciever and Energy C-3 speakers. I will most likely be pairing the TV with a NAD T532 progressive scan DVD player, and intend to use it almost exclusively for viewing DVDs. I will be sitting roughly 10 feet from the TV screen.
I was considering LCD/Plasma and front projection, but found the CRT TVs to provide the best quality picture for the price.
Any opinions on this particular Sony vs. Toshiba decision? Any comments on picture quality and service histories that I may be missing? Which is the best overall value?
Thanks!

Sony wins hands down. Best picture on the market.
Way better than their previous 510 models
The XBR sets are fantastic. Go look at them side by side if you don;t believe me.Toshiba has TERRIBLE customer service. TERRIBLE.
If you need them, you are screwed.
Have you considered SONY's highly regarded rear projection digital sets? There are four sizes, 45", 51", 57" and 65". When calibrated by ISF, they provide stunning picture quality. They are in your price range as well.
I can also get the Toshiba 34HFX83 for $1900 at a local dealer. How does that compare to the other two sets?
