Which of the following would give the best possible SD and HD picture quality via a cable box: a higher end tv such as a Samsung B860 or a middle of the road tv such as a Samsung B560 with an added external video processor (if the prices were relatively the same)?

I wouldn't worry too much about a video processor if all I had to feed it was cable, imo. There's a good likelihood that you're going to be receiving an crappy and overcompressed signal (SD and HD) and there is only so much you can do with that.


Just go with the better display and aim for a better source later.

Agreed. Cable and SAT are not the best sources for high quality signals. OTA is the best for that type of content, BR for movies.
