Samsung 40F5500 - 59K
Sony 42" W650A - 63K
Both this models are newly launched. Didn't get chance anywhere to compare these 2 models side-by-side, but I feel Sony picture quality is much better than Samsung (for these models).

Only issue with Sony's W650A is just 1 USB port and 2 HDMI which hurts me.

Please share your experience with this models if any.

Having auditioned both the models, i would tell you that samsung F5500 has slightly better PQ than 650A. However design wise sony mops the floor with samsung. The samsung model has one HDMI port more. That is always better. Did not get a chance to audition the audio but i feel the audio in the sony model should be better.
So it finally depends on what you are looking for. Hope this helps you.

No difference between W670 and W650 except for inbuilt wifi.
Like i said F5500 has better PQ than W670/W650.
