Steve from New Zealand. After Loads of research (as you do!) Yesterday I decided on the Sony W 46" and bought it, it is a big step up from my old Samsung rear pro 47" in many ways. I also bought a Sony DVD 160gb recorder, both of these units are absolutely fantastic and I am over the moon! So far I have not been able to fault this TV in any way, GREAT picture, sound, and great features. The remote is an absolute revalation and has mega options to select from, I have also programmed it to operate my Sony DVD recorder and Sony Theatre Surround system-brilliant! its also very easy to use. I am going to be very happy with this TV for many years to come - I urge you to go and buy this TV, hurry go !!!
