Agree, it is not too late, but last year was the better year, and it's fading fast.

The ZT is awesome but really marginally better than the VT and $1K more. That Samsung you got is solid, but again the VT was at least an option last year. Add in Sony's pull out of the race to bottom pricing, and it starts to show that it value will be trending down starting this year.

So no doubt there will always be great TV's, and your Samsung is the best currently available. However, it is such a shame that twice in 2008 and 2013 we saw peaks in best picture, followed by a while of regression. Samsung will probably walk away from Plasma soon and that is going to make finding a good picture value very hard in the next few years.
