I've got the same problem and if you find out why one is better that the other let me know.

I didn't like the black marks down the side of the screen on the tosh 36" and not something i could live with. So ive now ordered the Sony. Will let you know my thoughts when it arrives

AV Addict I'll let you know

But I've heard so many people upset with the dark sides on the Tosh - I actually ordered one but i cancelled it.

The sony seems my only option but I'll wait until someone else has actually reviewed it before I get it(Markster - If you could let us know please).

Plus there is also an Sony 36" IDTV coming out soon too.

Yes the KD-36NX200. not sure how much it is.
IDTV and it also has a memory stick slot for camera pics etc.
Its quite a bit bigger than the 36FS76 at 1148x835x748 (compared to 972x614x591)
Basically the same otherwise a couple of small differences. Slightly better sound but no picture in picture mode. Both have 4 scarts, 2 of which are rgb.

I think that comes out in November. I'm not sure if it'll be worth waiting for???

Cheers for the reply & gimme some good news about 36'' tvs.
I've had the shakes since joining this forum. I'm from a sheltered background where technology is a fairyland place that works perfectly because we payed for it. Now I read that a Philips is a Panny in disguise and'lets make things better' should read 'lets take the p*ss'. I was keen on a sony 36'' tv but all the news about dodgy sets has given me the sh*ts about spending ££££.

Also isn't it funny how a bee loves honey. BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZZZZ

Just got the Sony Style catalogue.

The NX200 also has auto-convergence, different stand and control, one RGB SCART, No equaliser, digital quick focus, no clipboard/freeze, no PNP, and uprated speakers. Not a comprehensive list though!

Seen the NX200 for £2300 the FS76 for £1500

I prefer the SONY KV36FS76S - I like the idea of PNP - especially as I watch quite a lot of Sports.

Does anyone kow if any other TV does that?

One thing I don't like is the stand - I prefer a closed one - I got so many leads.

I'll probably end up getting it

 

[KANU25]

Oh gosh - I'm even more confused.

I popped down to the Sony Shop in Reading and they've got 36FS76S set-up right next to the old one.

The TV's are identical - the FS76 is slightly smaller in height and the stand is an open one. - But the picture is quality- I don't know too much about Scrolling bars but the assistant in the shop knew about them and told me they've sorted it out.

But lets face it - the Sony 36FS76S looks ugly - I'm sorry but I just don't like the look of the stand and the overall feel of the TV - it looks as if it was designed in the late 80's early 90's.

I've spent about 10 grand doing up my living room and I can't put that my room even though the picture is really good.

Disguntled as I was(am) - I went off to Comet to check out the Tosh 36ZT29B - and again it struck my eye - it looked great. I tried to see if I could find the "Dark Sides" - but I couldn't really find them until I went on a screen that was all green - and to be perfectly honest it isn't that noticeable unless you're looking for it.

I'm gonna wait until John Lewis(or Someone that offers 5 year warranty) and get the Tosh - as I don't fancy buying over the internet in case I have any problems.

Why not wait for the 36" Sony iDTV which looks much nicer? Same as new FQ80.

 

[KANU25]

Damn - now you got me thinking!

 

[mh66639]

Mind-you I hear the price will be £2000+ and won't be available till Nov?

Matt.

 

[KANU25]

In that case - I've stopped thinking!

 

[alim]

November is around the corner. If you've spent 10k on a living room then surely spending an extra few hundred pounds won't hurt!

 

[KANU25]

True say - But I guess with a closed cabinet all the wires can be hidden - I'm seen the stand with the Sonys and they ain't all that
