Which one is the better of the two? I think the XS955 is the older of the two but as I look, it's still more expensive.

What's the difference and which would you recommend? Any major problems with either one?

im not sure about the XS955, but i have the sony
KDFE55A20 55" LCD and its perfect for the the
applications i run with it.. i just bought
star wars III , looks awsome in wide screen.
i hooked my PC to it .. great monitor for
Games and internet ... no lag, blur just
awsome gameplay. next will be XBOX 360.
you have to have an updated graphics card
that can push high-res for your PC, but this TV rocks,
im sooo glad i did'nt settle for anything
under 50 inchs. monday night football
looks so good you can't stop watching!

thats my input.

later.
