Buy LED, LCD or Plasma

The people there also say Pioneer and Panasonic plasma is best picture.

That is a fair statement.

I am also going to say "Plasma".

I bought a Panasonic TH-42PZ77U Back In 2007...... And after three years of use, so far I haven't been disappointed......

If you are a Movie Buff or a Sports Connoisseur, Plasma is the ONLY way to go

Panasonic and Pioneer are the class when it comes to Plasma TV. Pioneer is on the way out from what I understand. So, if you want a Pioneer Kuro, or a Pioneer Elite Kuro, you better get yours now before it's too late. Because after Pioneer ceases their Plasma TV Operation, the only brands that will be left after that will be Panasonic, LG and Samsung.

Good Luck and Happy Shopping....

Please check out the Samsung UN46B600 or the UN55B8000 and the new wall mount WMN1000b. Is it a flat screen or is it a picture frame? Yes, it's about 1 1/2 " flat and the wall mount is abt another 1" from the dry wall.

Better yet, the home gallery media will allow you to set you TV as a giant screen saver filled with awesome pictures and music.

As best as I can tell from your "systems" photo, a 58" will be way too small for your viewing distance. I refer you again to: http://myhometheater.homestead.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html

Unsound, I understand that recommendation but based on that calculator my current 55" TV just a few feet away from seating position should be between 70" and 77".

Mounting above the fireplace, the recommended screen size is between 118" and 125".

According to Google, there are only a few flat screens that large and they start about $100,000.00. I know a front projector can go that large but won't work due to the large skylights I already mentioned

Do you know of something I'm missing?
