LCD TV - Samsung vs. Sony Which technology is better?

Rear Projection LCD TV's. I have a "Techie" question.... since I don't believe any salesmen's pitch.
There seems to be 2 different LCD technologies in use.
NOTE: I do not have a dish or cable. I watch "free" TV. I do have a DVD player. Video goes to a 10 year old Sony 46" rear projection TV. The audio signal goes thru a Yamaha AV receiver to get surround sound.
#1.) Samsung uses a single chip made by Texas Instruments. This single chip is responsible for the RGB - (Red, Green, Blue) on the screen. Looked at model "HLN467W" 46" screen.
#2.) Sony advertises its "3rd generation" chips. One chip each for Red, Green and Blue. Looked at model KF-42WE610. 42" screen
Both pictures are quite good. Some reviewers argue the "black" value isn't dark enough. Other reviewers argue these LCD chips are not "fast" enough to change making high speed action "blurred" or not crisp.
Is LCD too new? Does anyone really know?
Any experienced LCD information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
