Which 46" LED TV do you recommend?

Hi guys, we're looking for a 46" LED or LCD. We were drawn to the Samsung and worked ourselves up to the UN46B8000 because it's thin, plays PC formats of video off the USB Like AVIs and stuff and does Ethernet.

But then I started reading about ghosting problems, weird problems caused by non-local dimming and blown out colors and said to "heck with that".

So now I'm looking at the Sony KDL-46XBR8. This one is looking pretty sweet right now until I find a thread that points out why it sucks and I here LG makes a pretty good set also.

So I'd just like to ask what you all think?

This will replace our 12 year old 25" CRT that needs a good wack now and then to get the picture strait. I have a 10 year old Onkio 5.1 receiver that I'm sure I'll have to replace to properly switch the HD signal around.

We'll be using it in a well lit room with lots of sunny windows. My kids are 6 and 10 years so most of the time will be showing Spongebob and Scooby-Doo but the wife and I like movies after bedtime on weekends.

We do our gaming on PC's but I've been meaning to buy the kids a Wi or something after we get the new set. Also I'd like to build some kind of PC media center to get internet and store the kids movies on a hard drive hooked to the receiver if I can do on the cheap.

Thanks

I was talking about a lot of videophiles seemed really disappointed with the Samsung UE**B6000 caused by the auto dimming:

Comment starts at 4:00 into the video.

Then I found a long thread somewhere where people were very unhappy with the UE46B7000 because of this also.
If the UE**B8000 uses a different dimming system then it might be not suffer from this. If so I'd like to know. I'm no videophile so I might not even notice.

But because of this I was looking at the Sony.




I've said for years that I'll not buy a $5,000 TV for Scooby-Doo but now that the wife is really wanting a new TV and we're in better financial shape I'm just trying to look ahead.
With the TV I think we will need a new receiver and maybe a blue ray player. And I hope this will be our main entrainment system for the next 10 to15 years. When the kids get older my hope is the set will stand up well to whatever new technology comes out.

On the other hand what Servicetech571
This sounds very wise to me so now I'm looking at a Bestbuy offer for a PS3, Sony KDL-46v5100 LCD, a game and a movie for $950. But will I be sorry I didn't get the $2,000 Sony because we have netflix and access to lots of blue ray titles.


Thanks again

Thanks guys,
I just bought the Sony XBR8 (via the BestBuy PS3 Bundle)

With an extra movie, extra gamepad and the PS3 remote that wasn't included it was $2,300 after taxes.
I pick up Thursday.

Now how about those HTMI cables? I need two and Best Buy sells them for $50. Where can I get a better deal for good quality cables?

Also a wall mount. Best Buy wants $375 for the pivoting swing out but I seem to remember Costco had them for like $175.

Thanks
