"So I finally had a chance to check out the 46 XBR2 vs 46 D62 at a CC (BB still doesn't have them up!). I was pretty lucky cause they had actually set them up literally right next to each other. I couldn't find the Pioneer anywhere near it to directly compare them. Also, the room wasn't pitch dark or even close to the BB Mag sections.
So here are MY observations since both were running the same HD feed in the same lighting conditions.
IMPORTANT: No calibarations or change in settings were possible!!!
So here goes:
1) Colors - Winner: D62.
I found the colors on the D62 to be just much more softer on the eyes and therefore the images were easier to bear. They were still beautiful though! The XBR2 was just too much and some images would possibly hurt to watch over an extended period of time as it was just too rich. If that's what you mean my an image popping out at you, hey it's your preference.
2) Red push - It's here and there, so therefore a tie.
In all honesty, I think this was there in both displays (maybe the XBR2 wasn't set right or something (or vice versa)). The only so called red push that I noticed was actually visible in both sets and that too in different scenes.
In one particular image, the bricks on the house in the background looked brown on the XBR2 while there were reddish-brown on the D62. Now I don't know if in reality they were brown or reddish-brown, but based on the overall look of the brick, I would have to say it should indeed be reddish-brown, but more brown than red (So much for that explanation right!).
That being said, in another scene, the flesh tones on people in the foreground were actually redder in the XBR2, while the D62 looked perfect in the natural skin tone sense. I personally did not like the red flesh tones on the XBR2. So I think it might be just calibration issue on XBR2 or both. But based on "as is" mode at CC, I thought the better of the 2 was the D62.
3) Blacks - Winner: D62.
Here I found that the D62 won hands down. In one particular image, this dude's wearing a black jacket with a black t-shirt underneath (obviously he missed the color contrast lesson or maybe he thinks he's that american idol dude). Anyway, the distinction between the black shade of the t-shirt vs that of the jacket was clearly visible on the D62 while on the XBR2 it was one mess of crushed black that nearly blended the jacket and t-shirt as one. Horrible...
4) Banding - It's a tie. None visible. Period.
5) Blurriness of objects in motion - Winner: D62.
So I was watching a baseball game, and the guy hits the ball and he's running from 1st to 2nd. The D62 handled this very well, and both the hitter and the background crowd were sharp (the hitter more than the crowd - obviously since he's in the foreground), while the XBR2 was blurry on the hitter and the background - just a blur of colors. Again - aaargghh!
5) Sharpness of static images - Winner: XBR2
On a static image, there's no doubt that the XBR2 was sharper, only slight of course, but that only made the colors just to much to keep looking at.
6) Angled viewing - It's a tie. Both were equally brilliant!
7) Contrast - Both were equally impressive...
8) External appearance - Winner: D62.
Although it was a D62 vs XBR2 (silver not black), that exterior of the D62 was just awesome. And what's up with that transparent frame thingy sticking out of the XBR2. Absolutely unneccessary and just taking extra space.
So in my personal opinion, I found the D62 to be better overall compared to the XBR2, and with nearly $$$$ less than the XBR2, I would easily pull the trigger on the D62 without hesitation (which I shall soon do!).
I couldn't test it out w/ a Blu-Ray or a PC. Not a chance for that.
I did also look at the 52D62, but there was no other 52 that was even close to it's image there. Btw, yes the image on the 52 was not as sharp as the 46, but that's probably cause it's a 52!"
Buona serata
