My first pair of sunny sports came from SELA. They most likely still have some

New TV shopping soon, do I go bigger (51") or smaller (43") but with more features (SMART TV, 3D etc…) ?
Got two sets in mind, both are in the same ball park cost wise, although the smaller TV is the more expensive by £40ish.
The big one is a Samsung plasma, the smaller one is a Toshiba LED.

go for a LED and ignore the smart TV features, they are usual slow, stupid to use and you have a PC to go to the net anyway… You will play a day with them and thats it... imo.... The Toshiba 3D works fine with the glasses, but is only useful if you have enough Blu-ray's available or have access to SKY 3D stuff, if there is a programm...

I disagree with bigger is better. Picture quality is priority one.
-
And the picture quality on a plasma set is generally better. Color reproduction is more accurate, no blurring on motion, better off angle viewing…
I have two Panasonic plasma TVs and we love them. Not familiar with Samsung's offerings, however. Smart TV features are largely useless.

I can attest to the uselessness of Smart TV features. If you have a Playstation, XBOX, Apple TV, Roku, etc. you already have the same features. I have a Samsung 3D LED Smart TV. I don't use the smart features, at all. I've used the 3D a handful of times (there just aren't many films that utilize the technology on Blu Ray). The picture is excellent, though. I had it optimized with a calibration software program and I don't have any of the issues Chris mentioned; which, admittedly, are common problems with LEDs. I agree that for a no-fuss, great picture experience, next generation plasmas are probably the way to go. You certainly get the best value with them. Previous generation's concerns, such as burn-in, aren't an issue, anymore.

Another thing to note: the day after you buy your TV, the manufacturer will announce the next generation, which will be 33% better and 62% cheaper. You will be sad.

^that applies to pretty much all electronics sadly enough… I'd go for LED to stay on topic

I'm sure this doesn't apply to you, Mega. But in the US, the best time to buy a TV, other than Black Friday, is before the Super Bowl and now, during March Madness. Real helpful, I know.
IJ, yes, don't get me wrong, I love my LED; but I think you probably get more for your money with a high-end plasma.
