I've got the Sony 60" SXRD XBR2 and in a previous post compared it to the Mitsubishi (I was at my local Sound Advice/Tweeter for hours, they almost set me up in the back room) - I will say that there are more tweaks available with the Mitsu, and the picture was stellar but I preferred the Sony set hands down simply because of the clarity and contrast which was slighly better. I've had it for about 3 months now and the picture is tremendous. No bluing issues or green blobs, just a stellar LCoS picture and I can tell you in conjunctin with my Sony 9000es with only the 480P output (audioquest component cables), some of my better recorded DVD's or Super Bit discs have a very near HD look to me at least compared to the down converted cable TV sorts. Of course if I had and HD/blu ray player to compare side by side it wouldn't be, but compared to the signal I'm seeing on the HD cable channels (HDHBO, Discovery, TNT etc..., it's very close and it's only the better recoreded discs that I'm seeing this with and was actually very suprised to see this.
