Considering myself a semi-expert when it comes to hdtv’s, if you want something under 50" go with either a Sony LCD or Panasonic Plasma. By far Panasonic makes THE best plasma sets. I have a 720p Panasonic for the living room and a 61" Samsung LED DLP for the “great room”.

If you want larger than 50" go with the Samsung LED DLP. Make sure its the one with the LED Light Engine, NO bulbs to replace. The LEDs last 25-30+ years. You also get a much brighter and more vibrant array of colors instead of the conventional 3-bulb DLP set.

ShalerPunk is correct with the 120hZ in LCD displays. If you plan on watching mostly sports and movies, which everyone does, I would consider a plasma over the LCD simply because of the contrast ratio and the 420hZ refresh rate. However, if the room gets A LOT of direct light onto the plasma display, it may be difficult to view.

Here are a few links to ones I would HIGHLY suggest you looking into. Thank me later :itr41:
