Flat Screen Recommendations: 50 to 60 inch

Backlit LCD is still trumped by Plasma, its getting closer all the time but we are talking about today and not a year or so from now. But buy what makes you happy cause even if its not quite as good its not like your ever gonna do direct comparisons in your home.

I would still to this day suggest Plasma is the way to go but you dont watch a whole lot so LCD may be good enough for you. We watch a 58in Panasonic plasma and it looks amazing. Also have a 42in LG LCD that is so so, it looks good and has pretty good black levels but LCD has a fake cartoonish look plasma still trumps, not to mention black levels are still deeper on plasma aswell.

Any flat screen that has a glossed front be it glass or other will have some sort of reflection but I think its always been overblown, yes you may see a felection of some things some times but its not as dramatic as most would argue. Some act like it drowns out the image and you just stare at the show the reflection is casting while missing actual electronic material, thats just not true :)

Power schmower lol, OP said he doesnt use it many hours weekly anyway. I say hug a tree and fire up that Plasma!

Yea go buy a Smsung if you can put up with excess buzzing noise and a artificial picture..............great deal!
