Samsung LN55B650 55-Inch 1080p $1999.00
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001WHICF...ASIN=B001WHICF0to explain the difference between LED and LCD try this:
http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/Samsung_...LCD_HDTVs.shtmlI have 2 smaller Samsung (TOF) Touch of Color LCD HDTV's...one is also used as a monitor.
I'm not convinced that the backlighting is such a great improvement and think of it as more of a marketing ploy.
Vizio.. made in Southern California, will be producing a 55 inch LED soon and most likely at a more reasonable cost.
I would suggest that you look at them side by side and take your own measure.
