Vince: I just (in Sept) dumped my old Sony 27" CRT and bought a Samsung 40". I went cheap (relatively) and passed on both 3D and LED - got it for $830. It's well worth it, works great, looks great, and when you can get a channel in HD it's stunning!
I think 3D is a gimmick, for which you pay plenty, but LED is definitely brighter, but costs nearly 50% more. Go for it, you won't be sorry. (See if your cable includes HD.)
