review after review, blog after blog I have read, and I freely admit I'm totally confused about what my next tv purchase. Good news is that I've narrowed it down to Sony's KDL 46W4500 & Pana's TH46PZ81B. Is there really an SD distress syndrome on the Sony? Does the Pana suffer the same way? Does the Sony have deeper black and brighter white than the Pana? There is now virtually no price difference between the 2 - £1,200'ish - but if you've seen better.... ;-)
