I'm looking for a smart led tv with a built in blu ray dvd player. I found a Magnavox tv with a built in dvd player but the dvd player isn't blu ray and the tv is only 46". I'm preferably looking for a 55" tv.
Answer
Dont.
Televisions with built in disk players are usually the lower end units, and break frequently.
As you saw - a television with a DVD player. It wont take a BluRay player, a Smart BluRay player or a 3D BluRay player. A BluRay player is $57.
Smart - For $99 you can get a small media server box like the Western Digital TV Live box. This will give you 20+ apps, the ability to play computer files from a USB flash or HDD drive. This usually has more features and better support than the apps in most televisions.
This will allow you to purchase a better, basic HDTV and save the $300 bump for the smart model.
Again - do not buy Magnavox.
The March issue of Consumer Reports has a large TV Ratings article. I suggest you go purchase a copy as it shows you what they like, what they recommend and how the prices change by size.
MY CHOICE:
The Samsung models with the Smart Hub feature has gotten great reviews. The D7000/D8000 or the E6500 models are at the top of many review lists. They cost a lot more than the Magnavox - but have outstanding image, features, and could last 5+ years.
Also - avoid Vizo. The prices are tempting but they have up/down quality. We get jumps in complaints here every few months. The parts change so frequently that Vizio admits they are un-repairable.
Hope this helps.

Connecting a seperate blu ray player to a blu ray/surround sound combo?
Havenwood
I bought a 3D blu ray player and I'm currently using a blu ray/surround sound. I'm wanting to connect the new blu ray up and still use the surround sound from the combo. Does anyone know if that is possible?
Answer
Your home theater in a box is not flexible for adding anything or for upgrading. It is mainly designed for you to watch a movie with the built in blu ray disc player with surround sound. They are a waste of money. Keep in mind, to watch in 3D you also need a 3D HDTV, 3D blu ray disc movie (at this time there are only around 140 titles available and they are mainly animated movie from disney) and you also need a 3D glasses. I would recommend you look at an Onkyo HT-S3500 to replace your home theater in a box. It is a 5.1 receiver and a set of speakers. You would connect your 3D blu ray disc player to the Onkyo and then connect the Onkyo to the tv. Demo the unit at any Fry's Electronic. It retails for around $300. If you purchase a 3D blu ray disc player, I hope you purchased a Panasonic brand. It is one of the most reliable player in the market with good reviews from Home Theater Magazine. Hope this will help you out.
