- Last night I had the opportunity to do a side-by-side comparison
- of the new 32" Sony XBR^2 against the 33" Panasonic Gaoo.
-
- Some details:
-
- List Price (in CDN $):
- XBR^2: $2899 (monitor only)
- Gaoo : $1999
-
- LD Player:
- Pioneer CLD-D701 connected using the two S-Video outs.
- No audio was connected.
-
- Disc:
- LD-101 (did not contain pornographic scenes :-)
- Pioneer Demo Disc
-
- My conclusion (I'll spare you the details):
- The bottom line: The Sony is better.
- The real bottom line: The Sony is NOT worth the extra money.
- (ie: It certainly isn't 30% better!)
-
- If you have any opinions on the two sets in question, I'd like to
- hear them. If you want more details of my test results, feel free
- to email. If there is enough interest, I'll post.
- BTW, my next test will be the Panasonic Superflat against the Gaoo
- (both 33", about a $250 difference between them locally). I'll again
- post my conclusion, for those who might be interested.
