The site my cohorts keep pointing me at is the wirecutters... who recommend the Visio M##-C1 where ## is 43,49,50,55,60...

I've also heard of people who are quite happy with Samsung TV's though honestly I have a Roku so I'd rather spend the money on picture quality then on smartness.

Heh... my 32" JVC tube is still going strong... though relegated to
the basement now...

What devices do you have hooked up to your TV? I assume blueRay or
DVD, but anything else?

Personally, I'd probably skip or not use any of the smart TVs since
they seem to get hacked or broken after a few short years, esp when
the vendor turns off the website supporting them. Or stops updating
the Netflix plugin, etc.

I've got a Sony 42" LCD from 2007 which is working great. Hooked upto
a Tivo and DVD player. So for me, getting more inputs would be a big
thing, so then I could try running a ChromeCast or someth other type
of system on a stick. Basically, keep the TV as dumb as possible, so
that the sucker doesn't screw you over.
