i watch an embarrassingly huge amount of tv and work from home so the tv is always on. it's a pretty important fixture in my life lol.

i've done some research and am narrowing down to this one:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-55-class-54-5-8-diag--led-1080p-smart-hdtv-black/4323009.p?id=1219097781355&skuId=4323009&st=4323009&cp=1&lp=1

it's on sale for boxing day for 899CDN - but electronics are generally priced higher here. take off a hunnid or so for US context.

a few questions:

- anyone have this or something similar? thoughts?
- do y'all see anything wrong with it? is it overpriced?
- it would be my first smartv and have heard that the built-in apps are quite slow/useless. is that true? for those who have a smart tv, do you find you're still using external streaming boxes like the roku?

any other thoughts/comparables welcomed!!
