Best T.V to buy?

We're looking for a large screen T.V. The problem is we have precious little knowledge as to what all the do-dads are or if they are important. Stuff like LED vs. whatever, HD, curved screen, 1080 etc. So we're asking for advise from those in the know and more specifically; All things considered, which brand would you buy?

Thanks in advance for your considered opinions, it is appreciated.

I would get a Samsung 1080 DPI LED Smart TV. The smart part let's you watch Netflix, etc without requiring a secondary device (it is built into the TV). The TV connects wirelessly to your modem. Of course you can still watch your cable, satellite, etc.

The curved screens are still quite expensive.........

In Mx I would go to Costco and price wise get the biggest Vizio they carry. Pay for the extended 3 yr. warranty. You now have 5 years. We paid Geek Squad (Best Buy) to set it up and tune us in. Money well spent by Ludites. Geek Squad has a plan here in Canada. It's $20/month. All visits are then $50/hora. They'll come out and teach you shit.
  Re Costco. Online purchases probably include free delivery. 70 " TVs are cumbersome. The kind older savvy Costco employee who helped load our new TV in a borrowed van gave me advice. Save the receipt, register your extended warranty and save the packing. Mark your calendar and a couple of weeks before the 5th anniversary pack it up and take it back. He said they just don't care 'cause you're just going to take your refund and buy a new, the latest, TV. Blew my mind.
  My wife's elated response to this new device proves, size does matter.

OOOPs. 4k or go away

4K is only good if you have a 4K signal to put up into it. You won't get 4K here from Telecable, any of the satellite systems or streaming services. Personally I wouldn't waste any extra $$$ on it down here. I would put that $$$ into picture size although most of them might have the 4K now whether you want it or not.

I have found Walmart here to have a fairly good selection that is competively priced.

BTW oncesubtle you know I would be happy to assist you in getting one and setting it up for you.

Cool CBob, expect to be happy, soon! And mucho appreciato por todo for the advise, it will not be wasted.

Copy Bob. Get it. Then go Vizio mucho.
We're getting ours "calibrated".
Care to address that or $ wasted?
Picture quality just now is blowing me away.
Watched "Fury Road" on the wknd.
YIKES
Louise just binged on Ozarks. It's as if your in the same room.

4k vs 1080p and upscaling: Is UHD worth the upgrade?

Soriana has a good selection of Samsung TVs. We recently bought a 50" 4K capable unit and think it's great. We mostly stream video from a server using DLNA, which the Samsung supports quite well, and sometimes get to make use of the 4K capability, which is great.

Just a thought here - YMMV.

I don't get the appeal of Smart TV. You buy a Panasonic DVD Player (that you will likely want anyway) and wire it up to your modem (Or to WIFI if you buy the right model) and you have everything a Smart TV promises at a fraction of the cost. A large screen Polaroid TV from Walmart plus a Panasonic (and perhaps other) DVD player will set you back about 25% of what a Smart TV costs.

We like the LG's we have a smart 4K.
We found Costco to have the highest prices.
We bought about 12 different TV's for people, from Zenda store for much cheaper brand new in the box, not 1 person has had a problem with their TV's.
