Upgrading urges

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hello, what would you do?
I'm using 42" screen for ~3 years now. Recently I've developed this unstopping urge to upgrade to bigger screen. Bigger apartment makes current one look really small smile.gif
I got hard time to decide between 70 and 80.
3d is really optional and "I don't care" attitude towards it. Movies looks so much worse in 3d (judgment from theaters). Price, however, is almost double for 80 from 70.
I remember I really liked samsung led that I saw about half year ago, but it seems they don't have 70+ inch tv's. And I also remember that I didn't like aquos back when I was shopping for current TV, but that was LCD.
Anything I missed? Something better or sharp is very good? Still on "internet research" phase as of now.
Price is also something that must be kept in mind. I know there's new tech panels, they cost a fortune... perfect price should not exceed 4500 or I'd say 3500 if it is in US.


P.S. to avoid awkward moments please do not mention screens >70" wink.gif

70" is a minimal size

I'm not very fond of plasmas as PC monitor
