The Sony is highly regarded and you can mitigate some of that loss by using a backlight (6500k) improves percieved black level. I have a 70 inch LG and i still wish it was bigger, really want a PJ.I found that once i had adjust the motion control settings down near minimum i was pretty happy with what i was seeing. Is the room light controlled and how far off center will the viewing be. My set has a VA panel and off center viewing is not that great.IPS panels have better side viewing but weaker blacks. Tough decision but my money is with the Sony.
