Well, I thought it was obvious that I wouldn't check out any of those websites, but 'outrank' seems like a silly term. I probably know 50 (total guess) people that may own 150 LCDs or plasmas and they wouldn't give feedback on 'ranking' sites so I guess I would want to know who was reporting before I gave any stock to that. I learned my lesson on taking 'advise' from such sites by buying the biggest POS tires I have ever owned off TireRack because of the 'feedback' rankings.

My neighbor has a 50" LG plasma. Looks like a cheap piece of crap to be sitting in such a house--you press your finger on the screen and it shimmys all the way to the middle. I don't have to be an expert to know the quality of the Sonys I have are in a different league.

To each his own--maybe my senses just aren't as acute as others.
