Currently own a 55" Samsung 1080p TV that's 2-3 years old.

The tests they put the televisions through are extensive. I ended up deciding on the LG because of the reflection tests they do and the photos they post of the results (along with the actual % of light reflected); I have a 3 month period during football season where the mid-day sun comes right through my back windows and into my set so being able to kill that glare was huge.

They'll give you all kinds of technical data and also distill it down into a pretty digestable format. You can put any 2 televisions head to head and focus on exactly what you're looking for from usage all the way down to light output and local dimming issues.

Really the best research site for televisions out there by quite a bit.

Here's their breakdown of cyber monday deals and how each of the TVs has performed:
