Best new 70" to 80" display

Projection really isn't an option as my den opens to3 other rooms and the outside. It's just not dedicated enough.

In my research, I've found the Samsung LED's to be the best picture out there. My brother in law just installed a 70" model and it looks amazing.

I personally would go for a 65" plasma instead such as a Panny VT35 ect. The Elites are ok but there was a test showing that they did have color issues.

Biggest thing still is getting a calibration done on the TV to get the best picture out of it. Normally LED's are set far to bright ect when you see them in the store so a proper set up would be needed still.

Panny does make larger plasmas. They have 100" and also a 150" I believe, yet you wouldn't want to know the cost of them. I've seen the 100" and wasn't that impressed due to the lighting in the room killing the picture. A projector would have looked better in the application than that TV.

I believe Sharp has an 80" LCD now available and Mitsubishi has the 82" and 92" DLP's out.

The Sharp "Elite" has recently garnered very high praise from those that regularly review and/or calibrate such devices, a rather novel result for an LCD. Of course such results come at a premium price, and value didn't seem to be a consideration.
