Get the 52, I watch my 55 at 9 feet and wish I would have bought the 60.

I always tell people to get one size bigger than you think you want. Get the 52.

Guibs from 9 feet away, get the 52". Do yourself a favor. Also would recommend getting the monolithic stand since your in Canada for just $100 before its too late. I have it and the TV just looks SICK sitting on it, such a beautiful TV.

I guess the only thing holding me back on the 52" is, do you notice input lag when playing games on it and also, notice any execive motion blur in game mode ?

FWIW what input lag there is has not bothered me enough to use game mode for my replay of Mass Effect 1&2 and Fable III. There was some blur while spinning the camera in Fallout:NV that I corrected by enabling game mode. However, I then turned off enough motion processing in normal mode to enjoy Fallout without game mode because I am now spoiled on the absolutely insane black levels on this TV. Game mode is probably useful to twitch gamers but be warned that, as covered by others before in this thread, you'll sacrifice those deep black levels when you set it (though they will still be good).
To quote a coin commercial I laugh at, avoid disappointment and future regret. Buy the 52".

I own the 52" and already stated more than once that the input lag feels very good on it EVEN when i have LD enabled in game mode.
Seeing that LD in game mode doesnt boost the contrast as much as other modes i guess it makes sense that it doesnt add much or any input lag. Although even this "reduced" LD still gives a HUGE improvement in contrast compared to just using the panel with LD disabled.
I would say from the feel of gaming on it, it seems to be around 30-40ms of input lag which is pretty good. Ive been playing the Killzone 3 open beta on my 52HX909 for a while now and it looks STUNNING on this set and is very responsive. The 3d for this game is also the best ive seen so far by a long shot. I really felt sucked into the map when trying it in 3d on this set, you have to see how good this is to believe it, trust me.
As for motion, so far it handles everything very well with great motion resolution. I use MF on clear1 and it seems to handle anything i throw at it without any motion handling issues. If I see any blur, usually its a crappy cable source causing it and not the TV.
Now that the price is so low here ($2699) at sonystyle.ca for the 52HX909 just go buy it and be happy. And get the monolithic stand for another $100, you wont regret it.
I payed over $4k for this set when it first came out, like a sucker. Consider yourself lucky and get this set while you still can!

Yeah been looking since a while. Already return 4 tvs so I want to make sure in get the right one this time. I must say your are very convincing.
Would it be possible to post some pictures of your setup? I am curious to see the look with the monolith stand your are recommending. I was planing to just fix the tv on the stand of the desk I showed on the picture.

It looks really nice as long as the table its sitting on is long enough to accommodate the full width of the stand. I think for $100 its a steal...
Have you considered maybe getting the 55NX810 instead of a 52HX909? Maybe for input lag it might be better since it doesnt have full local dimming which should mean less processing for its limited local dimming. Its also cheaper and slightly bigger/thinner.
Seeing that you are very sensitive to input lag i think you should try it out at the store to see if you find it more responsive than the HX9, unless full range local dimming is a must for you.

Those pics look awesome. The only thing im jealous of is the thinner bezel around the screen. It sucks that the 909 was made so wide on the bezel...oh well.
