Before I respond - I want to make sure that you are asking a serious question, and that you haven't seen the hundreds of other threads about this.

There are a few links that might assist you in your decision. You will find pro's and con's (or what people say are pro's and con's) to each kind of TV. Two tings to consider are what you are going to use it for: gaming or movies etc and how much you want to spend.

Certainly the highest end is the Kuro. I was originally going to buy a Sony xbr and researched it for weeks. I just couldn't handle the motion blur. I then moved on to the Kuro. I just couldn't justify the price. Then I found the tv with the best bang for the buck. I spent $1700 in a 61" Samsung LED DLP. It is absolutely wonderful.

Whatever you do...stay away from LCD. Unless you enjoy that motion blur...

I have had experience with the Samsung LED DLP's, and would advise against them. If you want specifics you can PM me, but I've talked about it in one of the threads here before. I would spend my money on a Pio or Panny plasma.
