I am looking for suggestions on a 60-70" LED Smart TV. My price range is say 1000-1500. As a reference I found this: Vizio 65" M651D-A2 Theater 3D Smart for $1300. Is this any good? Are there better for the same price? Suggestions please.

LCD TV(of which LED is just a backlight)

Pros:
Power consumption
Brightness (and this is only a "win" if you place your TV right next to a window and watch between 11-2 in the afternoon)

Negatives:
Contrast
Motion artifacting
Color gamut
Hot spotting
Ghosting

Plasma

Negative:
Power consumption (when in reality...when both plasma and LCD are producing "black"...the LCD uses more energy)

Positives:
Color Gamut
Motion control
Contrast
It can't ghost or hot spot.

I'm pretty sure I want LED. Any suggestions out there?
I'm biased towards Sammy (Samsung) with a 240Hz refresh rate. Then again, that's just me. I have a UN55D7000, love it. Have owned Sony in the past, like Sammy much better.

You mean LCD backlit with LED(we like to be purists).

Do you want edge-lit? or back-lit?

Edge-lit pro is "thinner"

Back-lit pro is it doesn't have issues like edge-lit(go to Best Buy, I was there Saturday. They had 7 open-box Edge-Lit LCD returns).

So back lit is better. Ok check
I definately want smart. Check
Price is firm at no more than $1500 with shipping or delivery.
I am prepared to wait until black friday so not to much of a hurry.
