This is basically the most I really want to spend. I know samsungs use to be some of the best TVs but havent followed TV stuff in years.

This one is basically same price but I get an extra 4" or they have the 82" one for like $1,600.

Personally, I'd pick the Sammy, but they're competitive with one another. Here are reviews for each.

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.
