My gf has decided that with her new apartment, there's no living room, so she's thinking of buying a TV for her room.
It's a fairly large room with 10+ft between the bed and her dresser so I think something 50"+ would be great. 55"-60" probably. We're not looking for something dirt cheap.
So I did a bit of digging, and I'm thinking of maybe the Sony W900A 55" or possibly the Samsung F8000 counterpart. I'm a bit hesitant on plasma due to the heat and the fact that she has a window that'll face the TV. She's not too interested in getting blinds that can fully darken the room, so not too sure about plasma. Are these pretty much the best LED TVs in class right now? 4k's probably out of budget, unless someone can convince me why we need to make that jump now.
Our primary feature is picture quality, with smart TV features being second. I'm more of a traditional guy who's seen the TV as something as a dumb device like a monitor. While we're on the subject of smart TVs, is there any difference to running netflix off a HTPC or laptop as opposed to the TV other than for convenience/ease-of-setup?
