Let me start off by saying that I realize there are dedicated threads to many brand and specific models of the Sony and Samsung LED panels. Unfortunately, I have discovered it is quite difficult to find general issue related content on these threads with most of them numbering in the 1000's of posts. I am hoping that I can get input from individuals on here about major know issues with performance, design flaws and production quality.
I have fiunally decided to upgrade from my Sony 52" LCD. I am looking at a couple of 60" LED TVs. Specifically, the Samsung UN60D6000, UN60D6300 and UN60D6400. I am also looking at the Sony KDL60EX720 and KDL60NX720 series. I don't want this become a why one brand is better than another, I am just trying to find out the issues/general performance perception. I am most interested in overall picture quality. Things like 3D, apps, etc. are nice to have but not really of much deciding factor.
Questions:
What are common issues these sets may have that results in warranty service? Are there any known issues the manufacturer has not addressed (for example, the notorious audio drop out issue the xxV5100 Sony tv's had for years)?
What is the performance like for dark scenes on these sets? I understand there is a trade off with edge-lit TV's, I am just trying to grasp if the effect is worse with one set vs another? Any particular strong flashlighting or light bleed issues in a particular model? Is there a particular strength/weakness worth noting?
Do any of these TV's have a BIG problem with ambient light reflecting off the screen? I have some windows about 25ft behind where the TV will be that is only moderately light controlled.
As a general question, would you buy your same set again or not?
How is the general build quality of the TV? Is it flimsy are built like a vault? Any HDMI issues?
And finally, any lag time issue with gaming (PS3) on the TV? There will be a fair amount of first person shooter games on this and really don't want to listen to the kiddos complain about a lag effect.
Like I said, feel free to put in your input on your TV experience. If you have more than one, I would love to hear any first hand differences between the two. If not, let's try to keep it limited to your particular experience with the TV you own.
