2D Image Quality
There are many factors that influence picture quality, among other personal preferences. We recommend visiting our review: What LED TV is better in 2D image quality?
Samsung H7000 (9) as last year Samsung has a great picture with VA and Local Dimming, great contrast and deep black panel

• Sony W955: (6) offers a really disappointing image quality for high-end TV, low black level, IPS panel
• LG LB870V: (8) Local Dimming gets quite correct the lack of contrast of IPS panel.
• Panasonic AS802: (?)
• * Samsung H8000 (9) Same as H7000 has the best 2D image quality of 2014
• * Sony W829: (9) The most surprising model, VA panel delivers excellent picture.

The SmartTV is here to stay, Samsung is still the best but all brands improved slightly this year 2014. You can read our post with the best SmartTV 2014

3D Image

The 3D is included on all models medium to high end, there are two types of 3D Active / Passive system. 3D What is better?

Samsung H7000 (9) Samsung Active 3D works best in high-end models. Win on definition, although a bit dark image

• * Sony W829: (8) despite using Sony 3D active does not arrive at level of 3D Samsung.

Audio 

The Audio LED TV is generally poor, especially in the mid-range models. If you enjoy a good audio system recommend buying external equipment.

Value for Price 

• Samsung H7000; (8) is a very good TV but the price is rather high, we can save money by looking model series 6 as the H6500. 
• Sony W955: (6) is an expensive TV and the picture quality is low, not recommended. 
• LG LB870V: (?) 
• Panasonic AS802: (?) 
• *Samsung H8000: (9) is an excellent TV, good picture, good 3D, good SmartTV, extras, ... but that is curved, not persuaded. This is not cheap. 
• *Sony W829: (9) This is not the best Sony LED TV 2014, according to the price range, but in our opinion is superior in image to the W955, and it's much cheaper. A television very recommended for those who want good quality 2D image and also for gamers.
