Hitachi difference (1 Viewer)

[John Alvarez]

Does anyone know the diffrenece between the VS and VX series of Hitachi's LCD RP sets? Has anyone compared these to the Sony XBR950 LCD RP? I have been eyeing the sony for a bit but the wife likes the black case of the Hitachi.

 

[John Alvarez]

Any ideas where to find out?

John, have you been to Hitachi's website?
It must list the features of each.

As far as I can see, better contrast, and AV net.

I assume that the VX over the VS? How do you think it compares to the Sony?

Thanks

I would take the VX or VS over any sony on the market. I am not impressed w/ any sony LCD projection tv's right now...including the overpriced XBR. The Hitachis look better, have better color and sharper pictures. The only upside of the Sony's is non-reflective glass...which the VX takes care of.

Andrew,
Thanks for the input. What is the AV net all about?
