Samsung LN52A650 verses Sony KDL-46XBR2

Posted by TGT on April 6, 2009 at 15:56:04:
I have replaced my Sony KDL-46XBR2 (2006 model) with a Samsung LN52A650 (2008 model). Gave the Sony to my daughter.
Nothing wrong with the picture on the Sony. However, there are three areas of improvement. Blacks have a â€œinkierâ€ darker character, and overall contrast is a bit better.
The third is one I didnâ€™t expect. There is three-dimensional impression on some HD content that I never noticed on the Sony. Images seem to â€œpopâ€ on good HD content and foreground images seem separated from the background.
I suspect the improvement may be due to its â€œultra clear panelâ€ that is shinier than the Sonyâ€™s dull screen. And therein is the price. The Samsung is less forgiving of reflections from light sources. This isnâ€™t a problem since we have blinds on all windows. The improvement in the picture is well worth this annoyance.
