Ok i am looking at these two lcd tv's both have gret reviews seem pretty similar.

Buy a Sharp I did and they are by far the best value for the buck

sharp aquos has been using led backlites now for 2 generations of lcd panels and pretty much sets the stage for what everyone else does with LCD. They make the most (lcd panels include cellphones, calculators, or pretty much anything with a lcd screen)..they dominate the market ..and most importantly ..their top tier tv's are still made in JAPAN.

Most people don't associate the name Sharp with ultra-high quality lcd's... but the Aquos is indeed a generation in front of everything else. Kinda like the Pioneer plasma ... both sharp and pioneer have based their entire existance and company fortune on these products ... so an entire company is focused on one or two lines of products for resale ..id bet the farm they make them exactly right.

The sony tv's are good ..but they dont even make them theirselves anymore... not the panel anyway.

If anything else ..at the end of the day ..if some form of high technology is in my immediate future .. the term "made in china" is a big turn-off for me ..and i gladly will spend the additional 10-15% premium for something manufactured in Japan or the USA.
