What smart system do you like?

Getting ready to purchase a TV 70-80" range was leaning towards the Samsung because though the quad processor would help with future updates? which TV would you recommend and why? should I wait until the new ones come out?

Remember while I have no qualm with the maker here.

Their PIA (noted at http://www.samsungadhub.com/pr/ourCapability/smartTVAd.do ) is why I ignore/disable Smart Hub and focus on picture quality.

As to the Quad Core and updates here's the ugly past. Folk expected updates to improve things like a better browser or more video decoding support but it never materialized. In this thread someone asked about a Tizen port and the outlook is dim.
