Sharp Aquos

So I really don't know that much about differences in tv's, but I can get a discount though a friends work which would be:

1,350 for a ''46, Model LC46D65U
and
1,575 fir a "46, Model LC46D85U

So I'm wondering if they are really that different? Is it worth the price difference? I know some people have recommended the Sharp Aquos so I thought I'd ask. Here are the specs:

As far as I know, the only difference here is the 120Hz specification for the '85U'. Everyone knows....the higher the screen refresh rate.....the better it is for your eyes. Also sport and fast action scenes will be displayed a lot better than on a 60Hz TV. Does anyone else think it's worth $ 225? Mind you, those are pretty good prices for a 46" LCD TV!

1,350 for a ''46, Model LC46D65U .. best deal.

Well if thats the only real difference... then it doesn't really sound worth it to me. So the 65U models it is!

Oh would it worth it to get the 52 inch for $1650... 300 more then the 46inch?

If you are going to spend that much, you are getting into 1080p projector territory.... But personally I would go with the $1300 46. That is a smoking deal on an Excellent screen.

I have the LC46D64U and i love it. I know you'll be happy with either.

Thanks for the feedback all. I think I will go with the 46''. I'm going to take a look at bestbuy tommorow, so I can see them, but the 46 does sound like the best deal to me. No PST too! Don't know why, but the company I'm buying it though doesn't pay pst
