50inch decision

[livendie4golf]

So now that I've made the move it looks as though Im gonna have a 50inch max size on the TV. It was supposed to be 46, but Im making it 50.

Anyways Its going to be the main TV in our apartment. So there will be many sports (Football, baseball, hockey), Games (360) and Blu-Rays being watched on it.

It seems as though plasma is still the way to go for overall value.

I've been looking at Samsung, LG, and Panasonic. They all are about a grand, so what are your impressions of the TV's in that size/ price range?

When it comes to plasma's it seems as if Panasonic is usually the way to go.

The LG 50PK550 gets some great reviews, it is well liked at AVS, and it's probably the best bang for your buck for a plasma.
One negative thing about it is that it's got a glossy screen with no AR coating. So that means it's going to reflect any light.

I'll second this. I have an older model LG Plasma and it has never given me any problems. Just a great picture. Those new Inifinia models look really nice.

With all the issues surround Panasonics lately (floating blacks, rising black levels, etc) I would probably avoid them for a while.
