Hi, well my fiancé and I are talking about getting a big screen HDTV, we want a 60 to 70" and we want it to be crystal clear and sharp, but I know jack squat about tv's so what is better? An LED or LCD, or he'll even plasma? And what are some good models and brands, I want the best!
Answer
Consumer Reports December issue has their suggested makes and models. I strongly suggest you go buy the magazine to see what they like.
A LED television IS a LCD panel. But instead of a white light - it uses LED lights which it can dim very quickly to increase the black levels.
You are not going to find a Plasma in 60-70 inches. Plasma is great - but it is a glass screen and they do not make plasma too big or the panels would crack under their own weight.
In the 60 inch size - Samsung makes some nice, well rated units.
If you want 70 inches or bigger - look at Sharp. Sharp is not as popular but it's a decent brand.

What is the biggest LED T.V they make, all I can find is 55" Samsung?

For the North American consumer electronics market, Sharp, Sony, LG, Toshiba and Vizio (... and eventually Samsung) are pretty much your best bets when it comes to 58-inch and larger LED-backlit LCD TVs and monitors [1]. In addition to their current large-screen LCD TVs, Sony is releasing several new 60-inch class LED-backlit TVs this year [2]. Sharp will be releasing their new 60- and 68-inch class LED-backlit LCD TVs, most likely as early as the second quarter of 2010 [3]. LG will be releasing a 60-inch model in their LE5400 Series [4] and Toshiba will be releasing a 65-inch model in their flagship CELL TV⢠ZX900 Series [5]. Vizio will also be releasing at least two LED-backlit models larger than 55 inches this coming year: their 72-inch XVTPRO720SV and their 58-inch XVTPRO580CD Cinema Wide 21:9 aspect ratio HDTV [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14].
Note: Sonyâs two-year old, USD20,000, LED-backlit KDL-70XBR7* 70" BRAVIA HDTV has been discontinued and is no longer in production.
