40" LCD is too small at 7m viewing distance so want to go bigger. Projection distance on suitable bit of flat ceiling is too small to get much bigger screen than a big TV, and much viewing is not on the dark.

Firstly I got a 55" Furrion LED from Ebuyer which had no sound so it went back but they had no more stock and the blacks were a bit grey, it was only £400.

Then I ordered a 70" Sharp LED following satisfactory reviews but the order could not be fulfilled due to no stock availability.

Sound doesn't matter as I always use speakers. Size is important, would like 60-70". Blacks matter a little but brightness is more important as it will mostly be used for casual viewing from a distance in a large bright room. I don't watch sport apart from Wimbledon, so motion doesn't matter that much, occasionally like an action film but I appreciate screen size most of all.

Having said all that, I was looking for deal/availability on Samsung plasma PS60E6500 but will not consider the newer cheaper F5500 as the reviews describe and show a reflective screen that looks a nightmare.

Finlux 65" still doesn't have any reviews. Panasonic plasma are ace for pq but don't scratch my vfm requirements.

So, budget £1-2k, vfm, bright room, 60-70", not bothered by 3d or smart as I have an old laptop with HDMI and USB sound card with optical out running Win 7/XBMC on network with iOS remote and remote mouse/kbd which does all I want, but I do want 3 or 4 HDMI inputs. What do I buy? What is the best value LED in this range?

Thanks, looking for 60"+, and the 60" plasma linked although good value and suitable in all other respects is the one I mentioned that looks like a mirror.

There is the UE60F6300, but I could only find a review the UN60F6300, wondered if this was the US equivalent, but some of the specs don't match up.
