You will get many different opinions here and many responses. In my opinion I think the new Samsung LED backlit LCDs are one of the best on the market out of any HDTV. I own a home theater store and we sell quite a few different brands. Many places cannot get or sell these sets so many people have not seen them or heard of them. It is the series ending in "81". For example LNT4681F is a 46 inch. They have great color, really good black level (with the led backlighting they can shut off areas of the picture completely!), really good motion, hdmi 1.3 inputs, etc. If you haven't seen them they are very very impressive!
