The XBR4 has the 120Hz refresh rate. You wont be sorry with the Sony. Once you take it home and see the picture on a good HD signal you will be awestruck! There is virtually no glare and it has a very bright picture. I can open my shades to the 4 huge south facing windows and still watch the TV with out any problems. The windows face the TV! The viewing angle is excellent as well.

Very good advice from Bobsticks concerning speakers. Don't be in a hurry, take your time and listen to as many as you can, preferably on the same amp and CD player if possible. Bring your own music, something that is a good recording like jazz as well as the type of music you like to listen too.

If your looking for a 5.1 system, put together your own instead of a package deal. you will get alot better sound. If you need suggestions, just ask and telll us your budget for speakers and sub woofer.
