    Samsung 64 inch plasma. Great picture quality, freakin’ huge, and can be had for just over $2K – madness!

      This one too…sub $2300 and picture quality is near perfect if not a little darker compared to led. Aslo the ST30 is a good choice for around $1500 with excellent pixture minus the thx certified sound

    Samsung UA40D6000 or Sony KDL40EX720 both are 3D capable with superb picture quality and decent refresh rates of 100hz (200 hz CMR:Clear Motion Rate/ Motion Flow) and 40 inch…able to be picked up for under $1000. Both are smart tv but the sony is +1 for ability to internet browse which samsung doesnt have. Larger would be Samsung UA55D7000 with true 200hz and CMR400 hz(maybe CMR600) and the Screen looks beautiful. RRP was $3799 but can be picked up retail sub $2700. Also to note the LG 55lw6500 with cinema display 3d because the glasses are so cheap and i think its 3D depth is best of them all even tho its only 720p 3d the drop in clarity is unnoticeable in current 3D tech from standard viewing distance. 4 sets of glasses just $40 not the usual $100 per 1.

      picked up the UA55D7000 for $2760 on sale, it’s pretty good.
      smart tv functions are pretty laggy but image quality is nice. haven’t used the 3D yet, no 3DBDs yet

    EQUAL TO D6600 is equivalent to D7000 but much lesser price. I got a 55″ in June for $2400 and prices have gone down now :)

      +1. The 64D8000 looks so nice in my living room :D. I’m glad that Samsung decided to kick start their plasma development to try to keep up with Panasonic plasma quality. Also love the Panasonic VT30 but it was a lot more expensive than the Samsung. Sony has lost it now, 2 years ago they were awesome. LG are just lol. Passive 3D is nasty on big screens.
