Which is better, Toshiba 65H83, Sony 60WE610 or Samsung HLN617W?
Personally I think the real decision is between Sony's 60WE610 and Samsung HLN617W... I'm considering the Toshiba's 65H83 for it's price. I have a deal for the Sony 60WE610 for $3600 (including the Sony stand, taxes and shipping). But I'm looking into the the Samsung's DLP technology... I don't know about the deal on the Samsung yet. But in order to do so, i would like some opinions on 60WE610 vs. HLN617W, thanks!

Are you in a hurry to buy or already at the limit of your budget? If not, you should go over to www.avsforum.com and read about the the Samsung HLP models coming out soon. A lot of info and comparisons with the Sony as well.
From my experience last fall, the 617 was a bit hard to come by, so a price in the low 4k was good. If I were buying one now, I wouldn't pay over $4000 because of the improvements in the HLP line. It might be hard to find a price that low, however, since there may not be a lot of stock around.
Good luck and have fun shopping.

and do yourself a favor, look for the set you want FIRST, then see which is cheaper. i know cost comes into factor, but the sony and the samsung are about the same price. so, just find the RIGHT tv, if it happens to be cheaper, bonus

Thanks all...
Here's the kick, i found the place for Samsung's HLN617W for $3395. Since it's in NYC and i can just go there and pick it up in person, i'm only paying that much (maybe i can haggle a little more for paying cash or sign up for protection services).
http://www.shopsunshine.com/Item.asp?Pid=931&Item_Id=86
so, should i wait a little bit (i'm not gonna move to the new place in three weeks) or just jump on this deal? I don't think the price of such items ever go up (supply and demand, but who knows). However, i would like to see if there's a price drop in three weeks...
