[lecoty]

Hi,

I've been looking for a 52"++ HD TV for a while now (1-2 years), but I haven't forced myself to take a decision yet since I wanted the price tag to go below 2000 CHF/USD for a well connectible TV.

The model that I keep bumping into being the best match is the Sony KDL-W5x (4x last year) series and now I can get my hands on a Sony KDL-W5500 here in Switzerland for about 2000 CHF, even the latest W5800 is available to 2300.

So, any reasons why I should *not* buy this one ? Anything better out there when it comes to full-filling most of the following requirements:

* Max. 2000 CHF/USD pricetag
* Good connectivity (4 x HDMI, USB, Scart, S-Video, etc.)
* Full HD

The things that made me look at this model:

* Smooth PS3 integration (Bravia sync) (can other models do something similar ?)
* Network streaming (I can do that with the PS3, but nice not having to start both units)
* Local play from USB (Could use PS3 or seperate computer, but again - less wires and units are golden!
* Not too crazy with powerconsumption
* The "Show HD picture as painting" intrigues me

Suggestions ?
confirmations ?
