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.
