My first venture into the world of Plasma/LCD/LED.

Anyone have any tips, suggestions, or advice is appreciated.

So far from my light recon work, the Panasonic 50" Plasma is the leader.

50" is fine, even a bit small for picking up the full detail of 1080 at that distance.

Lechner's a bit nutty, but it's kind of hard to argue with him once you read his credentials.
