I bought a 42" Plasma a few weeks back.

I made a house out of the box it came in for my son.

Cut out a door and some windows, put a chimney on it and painted it.

He has a lot of fun playing in the house.

If you can see the actual pixels from that distance, I'm going to start drinking Guinness more often.  Shocked

1. You need a reason to drink Guinness more often.
2. You have an English last name.

While most of us only think left and right, you have to remember, there are some out there that are affected by the other viewing angle.

Thank you

It must be said I've now met all the so-called halflings who frequent this site... *goshdarn* posers, the lot of 'em.

I can see pixels on 720p up to about 8 feet on my 50", standard Guinness intake applies.  I have always been in favor of getting 1080, but try not to push it religiously.  We have just started hitting this high-def transition and I would not want to be the guy with the with the 'crappy' TV when it really hits.  Bound for the bedroom or not, I would still get 1080 at that size.  But thats me - anything of size - I'm getting 1080.  But I'm a geek - YMMV.

LCD vs Plasma - get what suits you best.  I love my plasma, there are no 'issues' with it, but get whatever.

I can't really speak on IR/Burn-in of plasmas as I don't play video games.


Not at all.  You can get a great 1080p projector and screen for $2k, tops.



Got this for $1799 with free shipping.

When we talked 1080 v. 720 a few weeks ago, I noted that you kept your hi-def snobbishness to a minimum, and I appreciated that rare bit of restraint. Having 1080 isn't a big deal to me right now because I won't even have hi-def content for a while, much less a blu-ray. But, of course, you don't have blu-ray either.  Wink Poke
