LG 55 LH-90 series - get the biggest screen you can afford. This TV is an ACL with LED backlighting,(probably the cheapest LED screen on the market too even the review says its expensive) meaning it illuminates incredibly well and uses almost no energy at all - plus its a great looking unit. After doing the rounds, I finally got this one and football is GREAT on it!
ALSO - Of the ones I evaluated, most tv's had a glossy screen EXCEPT Sony and LG units. In a fully darkened room,like the store's showroom, they ALL look nice right?.
BUT if for example you watch in the daytime and have windows facing it, you will see whatever great picture you have on your tv PLUS the window reflections. Same thing at night if there is a lamp that faces the screen.
I sold my last TV because of this - so - no matter how great a new Samsung may be - daytime watching is a bummer with windows reflecting through it. Sonys and LG's do not have this problem as they have a satin-matte screen, at least not when I shopped 2 months ago.
Last thing - the LG series (like other LG series I think) has the ISF fine adjustments on one of the available presets - this goes much farther than most tv's in getting fine-tuning on every parameters, including most i never heard about. I got sample isf settings from a website and used these parameters on the LG isf settings - and here you are - professionnal-calibration you can try yourself.
When you consider the beautiful picture, LED lighting, ISF calibration, low power usage, AND digital OUTPUT for sound (I was told this is somewhat rare), this LG was a no brainer.
This review says, ''poor angle performance'', I don't know, works perfectly in our home.
Good luck !
