If i may be so bold.... Can I suggest you consider the step-up model from Samsung for another ~$500? The reason i suggest at least considering stretching the budget is to get into a display with a direct-view LED backlight the Q70 has instead of an edge-lit design the Q60 has. While edge-lit performance is vastly improved over the last few years, a big panel size like an 82" really pushes the limit. A direct-view backlight will provide better uniformity. Additionally, the Q60 lacks local dimming where the Q70 has this significant feature. In summation the Q70 has a vastly-superior backlight system over the Q60. If $2k was a hard budget, I'd consider a 75" Q70 instead of the 82" Q60, but viewing distance and other subjective issues would be have to be weighed in.

Thanks that site is pretty sweet! I went to the local Best Buy just to look at TVs. Probably worst setup to look at stuff in bright store all with different crap playing on them, but honestly, they all looked pretty good to me. The only ones that stood out that I could see a clear difference was in the OLED one, sooooooo black! Those are way out of my budget though. Everything else for me was really a toss up.
The TV is basically surrounded by sliding glass doors so it's really never pitch dark in that room, not like a dedicated home theater or anything. So my biggest want is for it to be BIG to fill the huge wall.
