yea man, im really digging the 650 series samsung lcd, But the same ToC samsung 650 series' price is killer 1700 for a badass plasma.. now its just do i wanna spend the extra 500???

Bottom line i think is gonna be the 650 series samsung, and the W series sony , which i just saw is now 1999. on black friday .. Ahhh damnit, it just gets more damn confusing.........

So if u guys could help me with this new choice.. anything u know on either

SIZE is SOOOO important.....

I could go on and spend all kinds of time with a brand new post..... But since I just answered this very same thing over on the F150 forum, please forgive me for copying and pasting.... And again, the best advice I can give you is, click on the link to screen size charts, and don't try to discredit those numbers ! I know from personal experience, it's absolutely accurate !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've had my 46" 60hz 1080P JVC LCD for about 2 years now. I absolutely love it. The only problem was, when I bought it, I was watching it from a 9ft viewing distance. Sure, it looked BIG ! .....but because of the 1080P, you were still plenty far enough to not see any pixelation, or jagged edges on anything.

......then, I moved to a much larger place, and my viewing distance suddenly jumped up to about 13 ft. Talk about the "incredible shrinking TV" :-( Sure, a 52" would be better, but honestly a 60" wouldn't be too big.

I'm not sure what your viewing distance is, but I bet you would be amazed at what the "optimum size", per viewing distance really is ! I know I was.

Scroll to the bottom chart for the wide screen...... and don't be too bummed that your 52" will be good for a "maximum" of less than 13ft. You can doubt this, or try to argue it...... but my personal experience has shown this chart to be "absolutely correct" ! What they are basically saying is, any further (or any smaller a screen) than they are recommending here, and you will basically be losing any benefits of HD, because you will be too far away for your eyes to discern the extra detail. {I know I lost a TON of detail going from 9ft to 13ft :-(}

My point is: Knowing what I know now, if I were to buy another flatscreen, I'd wait as long, and save as much as I had to, to get as big a screen as I needed, to stay inside of the max viewing distance, listed on this chart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LCD vs. plasma.

{btw, I'm absolutely rediculous about analyzing, and over-analyzing to 10th degree, large purchases such as a flat screen. I studied them, and hung out on a flat panel TV forum for litterally 6 months before my purchase}

LCD pros:

*non-glare screen

*lighter, and less subject to damage during transport

*use about 40% less electricity for equal screen size, and as a dirrect result, tend to put off much less heat.

*brighter picture, better for daytime viewing

LCD cons:

*blacks are not "as black" (not as high of contrast)

*cost more than plasmas for equal screen size

Anyway, if I had to do it again, I would get another LCD for sure..... However, I wouldn't even consider less than a 60", which would still not be too big for my 13ft viewing distance, but would be acceptable, should I ever move to a place with a greater viewing distance yet.

Hope this helps,

Peace,

Fish
