Sony KDL-52Z5100 Review

Sony’s BRAVIA KDL-52Z5100 utilizes an Ethernet connection, as well as a 240Hz refresh rate, fluorescent backlighting, and the Internet-powered TV Guide Onscreen. It has many of the same features as Sony’s XBR9 series. The BRAVIA Z series is the company’s fluorescent backlit set with a 240Hz refresh rate. Users can download widgets such as weather reports, financial news, Yahoo! Video, Flickr images, stock ticker updates, and additional content. The XBR9 has almost identical features to the Z series, though the XBR9’s have a wider color gamut backlight.

Samsung LN52B750 Review

Samsung’s LN52B750 improves on the company’s 2008 model, the LN52A650, by adding a 240Hz refresh rate as well as a several new features for users. The astounding set actually performs better than Samsung’s edge lit LED series of LCD TVs, the 6000, 7000, and 8000 in many categories, such as black levels and image reproduction. While most plasmas still outperform this set and many LCDs in picture quality, the LN52B750 might be the LCD TV with the best picture and interactive features out there that’s not equipped with LED backlighting capable of localized dimming, like the Samsung A950 and Sony XBR8.
