We did a lot of research and settled on a Sharp Aquos Quattron 70” for our home theater-very satisfied. Got it at Best Buy right before the Olympics started. The Samsung had a slightly better picture, but not better enough to warrant the much higher price, in our opinion.
There are a few levels of Sharp Aquos. Make sure you’re looking at the Quattron for the best picture. We found the reviews at Amazon to be very helpful.
We also like our Panasonic Viera plasma a lot (50”), but Panasonic is discontinuing plasmas, so a larger one of them wasn’t an option for us.
If you have the right type of space, a projection TV is awesome. We didn’t.
