50" Plasma/LCD recommendations?

[jetydosa]

Hello all, I will be in the market here shortly to upgrade my current 42" 720 Panny plasma. I love the picture quality, but I want a bigger set.

I am thinking 46-52". My budget is $1500ish. I figure 50" is probably about the sweet spot size and price wise. This will be strictly for viewing BR movies and playing PS3 games.

I have my eye on one of the 1080p 50" Pannys ($1299 at local Frys), but I am not opposed to other brands/types. I will say this, and this is not to bash LCDs, but every time I look at an LCD tv in the store that has any kind of action on it, I see like a flash of pixelation. Why is that? Is it some setting that is incorrect in the store? I know nothing of 120mhz/24fps etc. All I know is I am very happy with the quality of the picture on my current tv, I just want more of it!

Any recommendations/links/suggestions Id greatly appreciate.

Thanks in advance.
