We went into CC expecting to buy the new Sony 34" wide screen but after about 2.5 hrs came home with the Panasonic for 1150.00. I wish they had the Philips there to compare as well.On paper the Sony looks better with the fine screen picture tube but side by side standing back a 8-10 feet we still like the Panny better. In fact up to the $5-6K figure we like the Panny over all. We'll enjoy it untill the 5-6K sets come down to 1.5-2K.
Also we just got the DVD-S97 and connect it to the TV via HDMI and Panasonic XR45 via coax for an asome DVD playback.
10 years ago if some one would have said "Scott your going to have an all Panasonic HT set" I would have laughted them out of the room. My stereo is MAC, JBL and DIY with a revolving door of vintage and other more respectable gear.
I would think most people could be very vrey happy with either one of the Sony's, Philips or Panasonics in a room around or smaller than 20, by 15, mines 13 by 18 and we sit 9' from the tube.
