Sharp LC40LE700 or Samsung UE40B7020?

[admin_exported]

Hi all,

Some general opinions sought because basicallay I can be quite rubbish at making decisions. I've got a Sharp LC40LU700 and when I first got it I noticed some unnatural movement when watching recorded BBC HD content and channel 4 HD in delay, it looked like it was going in fast forward. I've not noticed it recently though and after some callibration I'm really satisfied with the picture now.

However, I have an option to exchange for a Samsung UE40B7020 which is a TV I was looking at initially and when I was having the problems I went about trying to get one. Now that the problem appears to have died down I can't decide whether its worth doing the swap.

One the one hand I'm happy with the Sharp's performance so far and understand LED array back lighting should be superior to edge lit LEDs but I keep thinking what if the Samsungs better. It has the upper edge on slimness but if the picture isn't as good I don't think i'll bother. Anyone know the lowdown?

Cheers

I've got a 46" 7020, it's brilliant, but if you're satisfied with the picture of the sharp after some grafting to set it up, I'd be inclined to keep the sharp, for no other reason than if there is a slight improvement in the picture whilst testing with lots of different sources in a demo room (a la What HiFi reviews), it might not be immediately apparent in your living room.

On the other hand I don't think you'd be disappointed either. Pretty equivocal that, so possibly no help!
