Flat Screen Recommendations: 50 to 60 inch


I'll consider any option, LCD, Plasma, "internet" TVs, etc.
Just want something that will look good out of the box. We watch DVD movies, stream from a Roku box, and news and a few stupid shows from cable TV. Will get less than 10 hours a week of play time. Interested in all opinions and experiences with current models.
Thank you in advance.

I have a 5 year old Pioneer 43" plasma and a brand new 37" LG LED-lit LCD screen. Even though my Pio is only 780p, it still has a better picture than almost any other 1080p screen I've seen (other than the later Pioneer Kuros). I haven't seen the new Pannys yet. LED/LCD screens are brighter and more eye-popping and tend to look better in the store. They also look great for things like Pixar animation. However, if you watch real-life films and sporting events, a good plasma is much more natural looking and less fatiguing - at least to my eyes. The LCD's always catch your eye in the store, but the plasmas are much more appealing to me. If I weren't constrained by my built-in cabinetry, I'd pick up a 50" used Kuro.
