Sony 37 inch XBR vs 40 inch V series

I've been doing lots of research and I can't figure out why the 37
inch XBR is more expensive than the 40 inch V series when, as far as I
can tell, they have the same exact specs. Anyone know more? Thanks.

The XBR is the top of the line, but I can't tell you the difference right
off hand. Check the Sony website, and make sure you have the exact model
number.

The XBR has more settings to fine tune the picture, including white
balance adjustments which can be accessed directly through user menu.

I looked at a wall full of LCD sets a few weeks ago, and at first thought
all sets looked pretty much the same. After a minute or so, the difference
between the cheap and more expensive sets like the XPR became apparent.

First, the cheap sets have a fake sharpness to them, where high contrast
objects almost looked as if they were outlined with a narrow black border.

In scenes that were part dark and part light, you could not see any detail
in the dark portions of the cheap sets. The XPR, and some Samsung and some
Sharp sets looked particularly good. The Sony may, in fact, have overdone
the shadow detail a bit.
