| Best TV around 60" + ?
Hey guys, one of my family members is buying a new TV for our home. We currently own a 52" samsung LCD and it is too small for our living room.  Any suggestions for new panels/technology for a 60+inch TV? Price is no issue, just the size is.
edit: I do not care if it is on sale or not. I just want the best technology available.

samsung one looks not bad. 80" is a bit too much but the 65 looks perfect

Panasonic VT series plasma is currently one of the best TVs on the market. The new Sharp Elite model LED TV is probably the best, but the price is out of the consumer budget.

The new sharp elite model, it is not in futureshop website or memory express. Where do you find it? Also, compared to the smart TVs in futureshop to memoryexpress regular TV, is the price justified? Quote:

found a website with TVs, the samsung D8000 series looks so much better with no bezel surrounding the borders. I might be hooked on that since we will be putting it on the wall with no stand like our current TV
edit: i do not know if a plasma would be better since I am currently using one and it feels more natural and smooth compared to a 32" LED tv in my room. It is more darker but any anedoctal experiences to share?  | |

The model tv should be located on the side/back of your TV along with serial number and a bunch of other numbers. No need to really do research.
And also, I've never liked plasmas personally. I've always preferred the LCD/LED options. The heat and possible burning from plasmas scare me.

With any TV especially your 60" and above, I'd get it Professionally calibrated. Might as well since you dropped the money on such huge "investment".

Burning is not a issue anymore for plasmas and the PQ is better but the 80 inch sharp for 5K seems like a real good deal.
