Well that's a pickle to be sure!

While I tend to prefer Panny's overy Sony (to say nothing of the extra 10 inches) given the bright room and your preference to not cover the window I might have to go with the Sony, as long as it wasn't *too* small. How far are you sitting from the set?

As far as the price goes, you seem pretty torqued over sub 2K, but only looking at Amazon, the XBR2 goes for $1700 and the XBR4 is less than $2300.

Personally, I'd add an adjustable curtain. I don't need a good view during a game. I like my viewing dark.
