Help me decide.

I'm having a problem choosing between these two TV's.

I'd like to hear anyone's opinions on either one. Thanks!


Samsung HL-S6188W 61" Widescreen DLPR HDTV w/ 1080p Resolution

HL-S6188W (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/DLPTV/HLS6188WXXAA.asp)

or

Sony 60" Grand WEGA™ SXRD™ Rear Projection HDTV KDS-60A2000

The Samsung is 1" larger and probably less expensive than the Sony, but have everyone, including yourself, watch it and look for rainbow effects - some see them and get headaches.
Sony's SXRD models are to some the best there is, and if you can find the best price, buy one as it offers a smoothe, detailed picture, no screen door or rainbow effects.
Just my experiences with clients and so on...happy shopping!

1" and money aside, IMO the Sony SXRD would be the better option.

I was just trying to helpout mentioning the Samsung advantage, but I understand what Ratman was saying.
My Sony SXRD is amazing and I would get the 70" SXRD (coming out soon) for the HT room or the 55" SXRD for the gym/rec room (see signature) if I had to do it all over again.
