We have a Samsung 55" LED in the living room right now, but, when we move to TV this November on a permanent basis I plan to get a 65", most likely the Samsung 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) LED 8000 Series Smart TV because (among other things) it is the biggest HDTV I can find that will fit into the 60" wide opening in my TV bookcase/console. The 55" will migrate to the 'Man Cave' I'm building in the 3rd bedroom/study -- Iris). I love the built in wireless Internet access to Hulu, etc, and Skype video calling capability (you do have to buy a compatible video camera at about $129) of the TV. It's pricey (roughly $3k atm), but, given the feature set and the amount of time I will probably use the thing it should be worth it to me.

It WILL be worth it, Bill, trust me! We paid over $2600 2 1/2 years ago for our Samsung 55" LED tv. It was one of the best purchases we have ever made. The picture is stunning and so enjoyable to watch. I'm tellin' ya, people, go big!!
