The extreme edge is metallic-looking and very slightly set back from the main pane, and we love the low-profile swivel stand with its thin metal base.

One big reason, we're guessing, is because the Sony is so black to begin with, but regardless, it's a visible problem, especially in letterboxed movies.

The iPhones work great with the remote control, they always find the tv and connect and work well.

As much as I liked the Samsung, I looove the 929 even more and would gladly give up the 4" in screen size over the picture the 929 is capable of producing.

I performed a hands-on evaluation of the 55-inch Samsung UN55ES8000, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series.

Sony doesn't include 3D glasses with the XBR-HX929, which is surprising considering the TV's high price.

That said the other LCDs also maintained black quite well, as did the VT50 plasma which, after the Sharp, had the best overall bright-room picture in the lineup.

Movies/tv is brighter, crisper, sharper, and the games (xbox and ps3) are a million times better than game mode or custom mode on the Vt30.

From hockey to basketball the picture is amazing.

This set handles side-by-side or top-bottom 3D, among others, so Gears of War 3 works plenty fine in 3D.

I will say it's much lighter than previous models, and a bit nicer looking, and it has the wifi built in which is great.

I even put in the 1989 Batman blu ray and was blown away at the quality.

The picture quality is fantastic once you make some adjustments in the picture setup menu.
