samsung, but dont buy from sams club.. tvs are not the same, go to sears , just check model #s then you will see . they are different with less components-functions etc.

70" Sharp aquos is the way to go. I'm a tv junkie and this is the best picture I have seen yet. Have one in my living room.Comment -
Whatever you do don't get an Insignia. Worst TVs made.Comment -
It's always helpful to get advice about buying a 70" TV from people who can't afford buying a 32" TV.Comment -
Get it done Sir. You will not have regrets.

Does hardcore porno look good on tv's of that size??Comment -
Get a JVCComment -
Opie- just a precaution if you get a 3d set with web access. JJ's videos would be beyond scary and if your kids are watching a show and eating, ttsandusky will try and burst through the set.Comment -
Opie.....from a tech junkie here.....best TV right now is the Panasonic VT50 series 65" plasma. This will be hands down the best picture on a TV on the market until the OLED TVs come outComment -
i might be misguided but i still wouldn't feel comfortable buying a sharp product. i would always be afraid it would die, or that my friends would laugh at me (if i had friends). panasonic, philips, etc were making decent tvs for a while, but they was still that stigma attached to them.
if lee or wrangler made $100 jeans, and they were the best in the world, i would still buy polo or tommy bahama jeans. just the way i am, i think opie is kind of that way too...

Just got an LED for my bedroom...What a piece of shit, Samsung.
Just like you said, that stupid fukkin "soap opera" term, horrible...Luckily there was a way to pass it by in the advanced picture setting.
So now it's bearable.
Still don't think there's much better than the Samsung/Panasonic Plasma...Unless of course you're spending 10 grand plus on a tv.
Like someone else said...Sams and Costco don't carry the exact models that you'll find at Bestbuy and stores like that...I'd just go into the store and see what TV looks the best to yourself, you'll go back and forth 700 times on what looks the best. Then go online and try to find it for cheaper...But by the time you get it in your room, you'll think you made the right choice and you'll forget about the other tv choices.
have fun.Comment -
Nucker, curious to know what your beef is with Inisgnias? IMO they are neck and neck with VizioComment -
Samsung, Sony or LOEWEComment -
if you can't spend $8K on the 70" Elite, your best two options are:
LED fully-backlit with local dimming:
Plasma:
the plasma is best for dark room settings (like a theatre room) which get minimal or no direct sunlight. plasma also handles motion (sports and video games) much better than LED/LCD's. they also deliver a more realistic, cinematic picture and typically, much darker black levels. on the downside, plasmas are heavier, can washout in bright settings, run hotter, and can experience image retention. however, if under the right room settings, plasmas offer the best bang-for-buck investment with the most realistic and best picture quality overall.
sony makes the only true fully-backlit LED with local dimming outside of the Elite. do NOT buy any Edge-Lit LED from any manufacturer, they're all garbage. the only real perceived advantage of LED over plasma is more screen 'pop' (bright colors, bright whites). however, many think that gives them an artificial look. cosmetically, they have a sexier design, are lighter weight, and run on less energy. then again, they're more expensive simply because of marketing. they don't handle motion nearly as well as plasmas and their black levels can really lack in general, however this sony model is very solid in both of those areas.
in sum: don't buy an edge-lit LED set, panasonic makes the best plasmas (samsung has a couple good models too), and sony makes the 2nd best fully-backlit LED set with local dimming next to the Elite.Comment -
just to clarify, insignia is made with the same parts as LG....if you buy an insignia with good specs (high refresh, high resolution) then it should be a good tv....LG is probably not what opie is looking for but it's a great value
as for this, sometimes it's okay to understand that you dont know what youre talking about and just not make a post

Samsung, Panny, or LG! Although I think Sharp has a sweet 70in but just hope you get a good one as their quality control is a bit lacking compared to the other three.Comment -
just went last night to big scrren store... fkn learned more an a hour then i ever knew about tvs. samsung prices are set from samsung
knowone can sell the top models for a penny less. same thing bose does.
plasma is back in a big way. buy a plasma from samsung or a led top model from samsung... bottom line..
samsung will make more plasmas this year then they ever have.. depends on taste in pic.. i saw both samsung top led and top plasma side by side last night on a 60 inch . i liked the led wife and sales guy like plasma. both great..
lcd are dead only place you can get them is sams walmart etc. thing of past
