I'm running a Sony Grand Wega XBR 50" circa 2003. No HD content (yet) but it makes DVD's look damn sweet and does a decent job with the sketchy analogue signals (Lots of macroblocking on certain channels a result of signal compression I'm told)
My only complaint with this TV is that blacks and browns can tend to blend together causing a loss of picture clarity. I have one PS2 game (on component input yet) where the muddy browns make it almost impossible to complete the level except by feel unless I futz with the calibration like crazy :(
Steve, while that Samsung looks sweet, I'd be leery of Samsung based on anecdotal evidence regarding their reliability, including a colleague who has had to take his set in twice for warranty repairs in the 6 months he's owned it. A lemon perhaps, but I've never seen a Sony do things like that...
