I'd be all over the Sony SXRD if it didn't have those STUPID Dumbo ear speakers on the sides. I can't understand why a manufacturer like Sony doesn't realize that if someone is gonna drop $4000.00 on a 60" TV it's very likely that they'll also have a surround sound system and turn the speakers off anyway. Sony's 50" SXRD is 56" wide where JVC's 56" D'ila (same process as the SXRD) is 52" wide (speakers on the bottom ). I'm waiting for a look at the new JVC's but the price ($3100.00) looks good. As far as the Mits, I've looked at the 52628 (1080p model) in the store and HD was good but SD looked terrible. The Sony looked better all the way around.
