With the new Sony XBR 4 & 5 landing in stores what will Samsung have in store to compete with the new XBR’s? The Samsung 71 series are the main sets that will be competing against Sony’s new line. The 71 series will also include 120Hz rating which allows the “judder” effect of fast motions to be cleaned up. The dynamic contrast ratio touts 25,000:1 compared to the 18,000 XBR. Both sets include more or less the same things. For people who do have large amounts of light entering their room the 71 series will include a semi-glossy screen very similar to the Samsung 65 series. Even though the screen does have a glare screen it does not compare to the glare that is resulted on plasmas. Most people since day one on televisions have dealt with glare on old CRT’s but keep this in mind about the Samsung 71 series. This clear gloss screen does allow for exceptional picture quality. I’ll be posting a comparison blog as soon as I get the chance to have these two sets next to each other.
Will Samsung bring down the XBR when it comes to the 71 series against the Sony XBR 4/5? Comment and let us know what you think!
