In January I bought a Sharp 52D85U 120hz LCD. The comparable Sony 52W4100 (last year's version of the current 52V5100) was $600 more. So for a same size and similar features plus a substantial savings...du-h... Sharp it was.
40 days later, noticed some minor banding (after reading about it on boards like these), read some horror stories about folks contacting Sharp about issues and Sharp not being responsive nor helpful. Found that the "good" picture quality of the Sharp was no longer good enough, wanted the better quality of the Samsungs or Sonys. Read some more negative stuff about Sharp, so... exchanged the sucker for the Sony I was initially looking at. By then the Sony was on sale... still paid $300 more than the Sharp, but my happiness and sanity are worth it.
The Sony's picture quality is definitely betterthan the Sharp's... I've been VERY happy.
