I've never had any problems with it, so Samsung gets my recommendation for TVs.
Their computer monitors get a lot of good reviews as well so they know a little something about LED/LCD's.

I'll vouch for Samsung too. I got the 900 series back in 08 - 55 inch, and have duel mounted 27 inch top of the line LED monitors by them that fabulous given the different screen demands for pc displays and yet still fantastic PQ.
They aren't cheap and the only way I lucked out getting them was a trader was selling his extras on craigslist unopened. Dude had just setup his home office and had a trading wall- 4 x 4 screens, and these monitors are made to have to option of joining them seamlessly and bracketed together allowing you to display multiple views or or pick and choose up to making it one giant display.
My guess is he overordered and it probably wasn't coming out of his pocket and left the firm with the total in full while making a few bucks, because I got the pair for less than the retail of just 1 normally. Probably helped my cause that his wife kept getting on him and wanting them gone asap because she was tired of them "laying around" and in the way for the last week... spoiled to say the least!
But, I was happy to help.
2nd best deal I found only craigslist only behind some chick that sold me a practically new, it looked like it'd almost never been used, Valentine One radar for a few bucks just north of $100. They go for around $400-430. I figured she had no clue what it was worth as the V1 definitely has a dated look to it since they maintain the same design and do upgrades and service the boards internally. Minus 1 slight revision making it barely noticeably slimmer they have maintained the unit design since like the 80's.
