Started my research on 3D TV's and absent a good 3D projector, I've settled in pretty much on the Samsung UN65C8000.
I think the choice for BEST 3D TV has much to do with each individual and how they will use it. Mine has to be positioned behind an electric roll down screen and I only have 1 1/2" clearance to the wall, so I'm definitly looking for the thinist one out there. I'm also not too keen on reducing my picture area from my 92" wide FP screen. But, cost is also an issue and I can't afford the really huge screens. But I have saved the money for a $5000 budget to buy now.
My use will be mostly daylight viewing so the benefits of Plasma over LED LCD become negligible. Most of the use will be daylight viewing of non-3D anyway. Haven't found a Plasma that is thin enough to meet that requirement.
So, all things considering I am now shopping price for a Samsung UN65C8000. MSRP $5999.00
The rub is that the same feature set model in 55" is only $2200 right now. So, I'm having a tough time deciding if paying 2.7 times as much is worth the extra size. On one hand I'm saying I should just go for it, on the other I think I could get used to 55", save the money for a 3D projector in 2 years and still have the daytime screen behind the FP screen. Either way, unless a Black Friday sale comes along, I'll probably hold out until end of January to see what happens at CES and Superbowl sales.
Then, if I really want to save money and sacrifice size, BJ's already have coupons for Samsung 50" with 2 pair of glasses and a BluRay player for $1399.
