Looking for a 60" TV under $1500

[Gunslinger08]

So I ordered the Samsung F8500 plasma a couple weeks ago, but the shipping delay has given me time to reconsider. With the known buzzing issues and the end of production, I think I might be ready to cancel my order and make the switch to LED. The TV is in a living room that gets a good amount of sun during the day, so I get the added benefit of less reflections/glare. I will miss the black levels and image quality.

What are the top LED TVs around $1500 now? It seems like the Vizio M series is well regarded, but I have a tough time thinking of Vizio as "good." Any other recommendations? I don't care about sound, 3D, or smart TV features.

Hell if I could get a Samsung F8500 I would go for that. I been looking for one up here in Canada. Only one I found was a display model.

Other that that not much out there for those of us that love the look of plasma. OELD might be a good option somewhere down the road.

For now I think the best option is to get something that good enough in an LED without breaking the bank. Vizio M series is a good option and one I'm currently looking at.

If you have any reservations, www.rtings.com is an excellent resource for comparing tv features, prices, etc. I've not seen a more comprehensive site for comparing the benefits and cons of various models and you can sort the recommendations based on multiple criteria which I found extremely helpful when choosing my set. The website owner was also very quick to respond to some questions I had.

Good luck!
