Hello people, I'm doing research on TV's. I've checked various sites on both of these products and I'm wondering if anyone here has any of these TV's and are willing to give me your oppinion on one or both; the pros... the cons. The TV will be for a bedroom with lots of light and will be used mainly for TV (non sports), games (both Wii and PS3). Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Samsung LNT4671F vs. Sony KDL46XBR4

I just got a LNT4661F for christmas. If i were you, i would not waste the extra $500-1000 on a LNT4671F or LNT4669F. I would instead, save $500-1000 and get an LNT4661F or LNT4665F if you want a newer model with a faster visual processor.
The 69F and 71F are the newest models, and therefore much more expensive, but their specs are virtually identical to the 65F. I got a 61F because it was on sale for only $1500. A 65F will run you around $1800-2000, while a 69F or 71F will be anywhere from $2500-3200.
I am wholly pleased with my 61F beyond compare, even though it has a slightly slower visual processor than the 65F. In fact i don't notice a difference between the two. However, if you are likely too, then go with a 65F.
In my opinion (and in the opinion of Consumer Reports, which rated the LNT4661F the #1 Best LCD TV in the 43" to 47" category for 2007), the samsung LNT46XXF series is the best on the market, even beating the Sony alternatives. So i would get a Samsung if i were you. However, Sony did take second place.
Now, a word of advice before your purchase, in early 2007 all Samsung TV's experienced an HDMI handshake problem, requiring new mainboards for the TVs. However the problem was fixed in june. There are 2 ways to check and make sure you have a TV with the updated hardware. The first is to check your firmware version, and the second is to check the serial number on your box before you buy it. The 8th numeral in samsung serial numbers indicates the year of production, and the 9th number indicates the month of production. If the 9th number in you serial is equal to, or greater than, 6, you have a fully updated set.
As long as you take that one thing into consideration, there is no way you would not be pleased with a Samsung LNT46XXF set. They're simply the best out there. But again, i'd save some cash and get a 61F or 65F if i were you, and use the extra dough to get a nice 5.1ch surround system to go with the new TV.
Be sure to check out the Audio/Visual Science Forums for specific information on all your componets, and in particular, browse through the Official Samsung LNT46XXF Owners Thread for great information on checking your firmware (upgrading it if neccessary), calibrating your TV to the best video settings, learning about your TV and what it can do, troubleshooting, and much more.

i have the Samsung LNT4071F (40" model vs 46" model) purchased november last year. there is a difference between the different samsung models in that the 71F has a higher contrast ratio. it does not seem to make a difference on paper, but in person, colors really look so much better. i'd highly recommend the Samsung LNT4671F over the sony mainly for price reasons. picture over HD cable and HD dvd are both excellent, you wont regret getting the samsung over the sony, especially considering how much money you'd save. got it on amazon.com 40" for $1799 as they were having a spectacular sale for this model. the picture looks fantastic in dark or lighted rooms and fast motion picture is not even an issue with the samsung.
