My trusty Samsung 1080p plasma died this last week - during the fourth inning of game 3 between the dbacks and Dodgers ... After a bunch of research, I decided to replace it with a 75" Sony XBR75X900E. Unfortunately, my Oppo BDP-103 can't play UHD 4k discs so I don't have a true 4k source yet. I did set it to output 4k from standard Blurays and that does look pretty spectacular.
I spent several hours calibrating the Samsung for the best picture and it delivered the goods. The Sony has the factory settings and looks just stunning. I am now getting my eyes used to the softness of the Sony's picture as compared to the sharpness of the Samsung - a function of doubling resolution.
