Anybody getting the new Sony TV's coming out this month and next. I'm thinking of getting the Sony 46 ex524...

[be3asy]

I will be looking for 20 or so TV's...any idea where I might be able to get a price break on such a large amount? I've been looking around but no luck yet.
Btw, I'm in the market for 32" Samsung LED if that helps any.

Hey guys, i'm looking for a new HDTV for my bedroom, which is relatively small. What do you guys think of this tv: SAMSUNG B2330HD 23" WS 1080P LCD HDTV ? I currently have a 26" Samsung CRT HDTV but it's only 480i/p and 1080i capable and it produces so much heat which sucks in the summer. I'm thinking the 23" might be too small and I should spend the extra $100ish for a 26"-32". Any help is appreciated, thanks.

If you are in the market for a 26"er why not get the newly announced PS brand 3DTV for $500 (comes with glasses and Resistance 3)

The distance you will be sitting at will determine how well you can see the effects of 1080p.

If you will sit within 3ft/1 meter of that 23 inch tv than it will be fine. IF you sit further back, I would consider something larger.

Thanks guys...If im sitting approx. 4 meters (or less) away what size tv would you guys suggest?

40+ inches.

Thanks guys...If im sitting approx. 4 meters (or less) away what size tv would you guys suggest?

The industry recommendations for screen size is as follows. The recommended viewing distance watching at 720p is about 2.5x the diagonal size of the screen. For a 26" screen that places your ideal distance at 1.65 meters. If you are sitting 4 meters away from the TV then 26" is a waste of time and money. At that distance your ideal TV size is around 60"!!!

So really, it all depends on how much flexibility you have in your seating arrangement. I used the 720p calculation due to this being a gaming website and I assumed you would use it for gaming? If this is the case then most games run in 720. If your main use would be for watching movies, then the multiplier is less aka your viewing distance from the tv can be shorter (1080p viewing distance = 1.5x the diagonal size of the tv).

I hope this helps your decision making.

Thanks for all the help guys. I decided to go with this bad boy... http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...ber=KDL32EX400

I'm an idiot and overestimated the viewing distance in my room in my last post...lol so I think the 32" will be perfect. Anyways it's being shipped to the store and I'm pretty excited to pick it up this week.

Awesome, that should be a nice set.

120 seems nice but not many games support that so I am thinking it is over kill. Honestly I do not like watching movies in 120 to cause it just seems like everything in fast forward, prob because I am not use to it.

Do you have to turn on 120hz or 240hz with LCD/LED TV's for it to look OK? I can't stand what it does to motion so I would like to know if any of you just leave the soap opera effect creation mode off all the time.
