If price were no object I would get the 80' top of the line 240Hz LED... and I would be driving a 991.
Back to reality, as I said we are in an under $1000 budget for a TV.
Don't need/want 3D or smart, just going for most TV for the dollar and that pans out to Plasma (I am old school and believe in the mantra "ain't no substitute for cubic inches").
The flat sceen in the picture I posted (taken by my wife when I wasn't there) is a Samsung 52" plasma @$550, if they still have them at costco Monday that is more than likely what I will pick up.
We are upgrading from a 36" CRT so anything would be a huge upgrade.
Checked online (I'm not going to spend all day shopping for a TV) Newegg, Tigerdirect, Bestbuy cannot beat that deal.
Thanks for all the input!
