If you are watching fast paced movies, sports and evening gaming then PLASMA is the way to go. Newer gen plasma are thin, energy star rated, no burn in (unless playing some RPG all day)... They produce way better colours and blacks than LED TVs and cost less. LED TVs try to achieve the look and performance of Plasma and they come close but never 100%. Don't fall into the whole 240hz hype with LED, it looks unnatural to the human eye and you end of turning it off anyways. Plasmas dont have problems with ghosting and dont require 240hz soap opera effect features.
I recommend Panasonic Plasmas, don't go for anything less than the ST series, GT is better, VT is the best. These "neo-plasmas" have louvre filters on the glass, provides anti-glare, much reduced reflections and deeper blacks and richer colours. Deals on the 50 series models (2012) are just starting, keep checking every week because once prices dip they will go fast. Between Feb to Apr you will see all of the 2012 models go on sale and then clearance. I have been able to score 50% off TVs in the past around April-May, one was brand new in the box, the other was a demo model with a few months of floor use.
IMHO most smart tv interfaces blow... I own a smart tv and never use the feature, better off adding an Apple TV or another set top box for smart features.
