Samsung for sure on the same level. BUT Sony new models are out any time now, so you might get a deal on the EX models.

It has a transmitter to broadcast to the glasses, it usually has a 120Hz or faster display panel, the TV processor is also faster as it can toggle between 2D and 3D.

3D is coming, but moving toward glasses-less.

You will need HDMI Cable, but don't get it from the FS/BB. Don't get cheap ones too because they do break. I got 2 Belkin HDMI for $15 here: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=64299

They are nice quality (thick) cable for everyday use.

HX929 - someone is balling here. It's waaay up there.

I would skip Toshiba as we have nothing but trouble with it. They are priced cheap and people who buy them don't care about quality.

I have been using Belkin and RCA brand HDMI and component cables, so far they are great, thick and durable. Some cheap, MIC ones that I buy from Monoprice and DX, they started to corrode a bit only in about 3 years. So.. I would not buy $5 cables and that's what you get.

As I always say.. if you drive a sport car, you don't cheap on the gas and car wash. Similarly, if you are buying a Sony HX or XBR, don't go cheap on the cable and power bar. My "cheap" is cheap/poor quality, not cheap price. If you know where to look, you can find some nice quality made stuff as cheap price.

I did not say you have to buy Monster cable, but generally good quality cable would do. Mine are corroded because I think they are near heat source and is covered with dusts and stuff... so I am not surprised.

Then I bought my 2x 6ft Belkin cable for $10 when on sale, I am not complaining at all.
