I had originally purchased a Sony BRAVIA W-Series KDL-52W5100 52-Inch Television from Amazon about a month ago because it seemed to have a lot of nice features, namely internet video, and the price was very good for such a feature rich TV. There was one huge problem, however. It came in the form of clouding. From what I've read, it's normal for LCD's to exibit slight clouding but the clouding in the Sony was terrible. So terrible, in fact, that you could see it in bright scenes in movies and games. So, I sent it back with no thoughts of even trying a replacement.
So, since I have been an owner of a fanatics 46" Samsung, I decided to go with the Samsung LN52B630. It doesn't have any internet TV like the Sony but the most important part of a great TV is the build quality and most importantly, the picture quality. This TV exhibits no clouding and the picture and picture options blow the Sony away. One of the nicest features of this TV is that you can customize the 120hz motion processing by adjusting judder and motion blur individually, something the Sony didn't allow for. The build of the whole TV seems a lot sturdier as well. The plastic used throughout this set seems a lot stronger than the Sony. The Sony just seemed very cheaply made and the TV was total crap. I'm glad I went back to a Samsung.
FYI: Amazon was great throughout the whole exchange process. They coordinated pickup of the defective Sony and delivery of the new Samsung at the same time. You just can't beat Amazon when it comes to prices and service.
