Both Samsung and LG sell other TVs in the 75+ inch range but they are not full array LED and do not produce black levels as good as the Vizio and Sony.  The TVs that are as good cost much more so under the constraints that Patrick has laid out we would say go with the Vizio first since it really meets all the criteria. For a slightly better picture and $1600 more the Sony is a distant second.
