samsung52" vs sharp52"

I didn't look at the Samsung, but the differences between the two Aquos is that the more expensive one is the newer model, (Advanced Superview).

Just look at the picture set up properly on both sets. Other than a Pioneer Elite, Runco or Fujitsu, not much beats a Sharp Aquos. The Sharp (If it is the Aquos) will BLOW AWAY the Samsung (I have an Elite, Aquos and Samsung).

Make sure the Aquos is 1080P, not 720P. If you can afford the 120 hz, go for it.
