The only difference I can see between the two is the style.. unless I have missed something, no mnetion of 24hz processing but I understand that their Trud D (film Mode) works really well with 24 fps material.

Hi guys,
Just thought i'd add my 2 penneth,
I got the 52inch, a replacement from Costco for a faulty 47 philips (lost the model number) probably end of august last year,
I have to say, apart from processing edges a little 'raw' on occasion, it's a real stormer, I have a very faint banding issue, just the one, and you have to adjust the TV to be able to see it.
Colour reprod is slightly red bias, but i guess that's part in parcel to the crimson technology (RGB + crimson)
The UI is intuative and allows pretty good customisation of features, and unlike the philips, the screen settings you use a stored per chanel, not globaly! very handy.
The thing lacking from the box is a better audio splitter, for example, my PS3 outputs via HDMI, there's no through put for true 5.1 back to the amp, and the amp, only having one digtal (optical) input, has to make do with a pro-logic feed through scart, from the telly.
