The 3d version. 240 Hz. Not sure which series. Bought it a year agoXL Walled Lake, MI

I have a 40' Visio. E series from last year. 120 hz. Not bad for the occasional viewing in the bedroom. However it isn't close to my 8 yr. old Panasonic plasma. That tv friggin rocks.LBGE, Marietta, GA

I have a 42" vizio in the garage I think its 120hz but not sure. Its been great. Also have 60' sharp 240hz in the living room and its picture is amazing. When Costco runs their specials the prices are hard to beat.

60 inch Samsung LED with a Sony sound bar added, very satisfied. I passed on the Smart features. Whatever you get add separate sound bar, speakers etc. Today flat screens sound by it self all suck, not enough room to put any decent size speakers in them.

I've bought 3 samsung smart tvs from BJ's at very good prices -- very satisfied with them. They're not as good a picture quality as my sony or sharp aquos, but for the price and the smart function, you can't beat them.I'm about to go back today for a 46 inch to put in a spot where the 36 is just too small. My questionis: Do I ask permission or forgiveness of Wifey for this purchase?It's a 302 thing . . .

I still have the Samsung 50" plasma. Two of them. I dread the day the kaput. 32" Vizio in the cave. It's ok. I guess it really depends on your pocketbook and how important it is...99 wait, it's for football. It's important. They have the new curved screen.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

I have a 50" LG 3D. I'm going to be honest in the two years we've owned it I've only used the 3D glasses 2 times. Besides that the picture is good. The sound was pretty bad but you pretty much expect that from a tv now. I hooked it up to a surround sound system and it worked well. We have a 40" Vizio in the bedroom that I like as well.1 large BGE, Spartanburg SC

I have a 55" Samsung 3D Smart TV in the house. Absolutely love it. Wired up to my home theater. My daughter and I love watching movies in 3D. I love the one on one time with her just as much. I can connect to NetFlix, etc through the TV. Have a PS3 and ChromeCast hooked up to it as well. Only problem I've had is that the internet browser function on the tv is a little choppy.Great picture with movies, video games, sports, etc.Steve

Just to throw this out there but I would consider checking out similar TVs that are not necessarily smart TV. You might find that for the same TV the "smart" version is hundreds of dollar more. You could just get a roku, chromecast, or Amazon Fire and make any TV smart. It is nice not to have extra remote controls and have everything in one unit, but it might save you some money. Also sometimes the apps built into the TVs suck anyway.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

2 of my 3 tvs are 'smart' and I don't use any of that functionality, it's klunky to me. That's just what came with the tvs that had the specs I wanted. I have one apple tv that I use for netflix, MLB.TV, etc.

In my basement man cave I have a 42" Philips plasma that is about 10 years old (It was BIG when I bought it). someday I will upgrade to a bigger and smart TV, but the picture on this thing ROCKS. If I could get another plasma, I would, as long as it is going in the basement. Not sure for a room with lots of windows though.Smart does not mean much to me, I have an AppleTV that gives me all the smarts I need plus lots more I don't useXLBGE, Small BGE, Homebrew and GuitarsRochester, NY

Samsung 52" LCD that I got from Brandsmart about 6yrs ago. It was such a good deal that prices are just now getting down to same level. Brandsmart is great but you have to go in there knowing what you want and stick to your guns because the salesmen in there are like barkers for the carnival and will try and up sale you on anything and everything. LG we used to have in the bedroom pulled a poltergeist and would come on at random to static and full volume. Only way to get it off was unplug....CRAZY!!Just remember that the mounting brackets are where costs are high. Research for a good deal on that if hanging on wall.

I have a Smart Samsung 1080 240hz 3D Plasma television. I've owned it two years now and have zero complaints. My next TV will also be a Samsung Plasma for the basement.
