Almost no one ever says they bought one that was too big but a lot of people regret not buying a bigger one. I got a 50" 720 Panasonic for the living room and my wife picked out a 42" 1080 Panasonic for the bedroom. The 50 was $1200 and the 42 $900 at costco, which I recommend. Unless you watch mostly Blue Ray I don't think you will see a difference between 720 and 1080.

My picture was , to my eyes , considerably better than the LCD. But I haven't missed it for a minute since I got the Panasonic. I sit about 8' (at most) away and the picture is as good as the source will allow. Has anyone noticed how much better the picture and sound is on the new show "The Mentalist"? I watch it as much for them as the story.
