We recently added 2 new TV's.I have been a Ploneer Plasma guy for a while.My main display is a 50" Kuro.I think most current TV's look pretty good.I looked at LCD's,Edge Lit and backlit LED's(from LG,Sharp,Vizio,and Samsung) and Panasonic Plasmas.The final choice came down to the Samsung LED sets and the Panasonic Plasmas.While the Samsung was very imressive,I felt that the Panny offered the more "natural" rendering.
I purchased a TC-P50GT25 on line for $999 plus $99 shipping.It has been replaced in the Panasonic line-up by the GT30.For some reason the 3D sets are selling cheaper than the identical 2D sets,and I have been told that the best 3D sets make the best 2D sets.We also replaced an aging 43" Pioneer Plasma with a TC-P46GT24 which was purchased as a "special buy" at Costco for $799.I am very happy with these TV's.I slightly preferred the picture on the "VT" series sets,but could not justify the significant difference in cost(especially with the low prices I paid for the GT series sets).
I hope this was of some help.
