Heh... heck, that could apply to a lot of posts around here. Stop pointing out the emperor's clothing.  Sorry, but I cant help it. btw, my JVC is the best and I think Homedad should buy it to hang on the wall...the fact that its 18" thick shouldnt matter when compared to hanging a plasma on the wall.....should it?

The more I think about it I'm starting to wonder if a 50' will be that much larger than my existing 42". I'm going to look at some 60"s also. I really want to take a look at this one - Pioneer PDP-6010FD 60" 1080p Plasma HDTV. It's pricey, but I figure I'll probably have to live with it for 10 years before my wife allows any more electronics in the house

For the price of the Pioneer 60", I think that would be my last TV. I have been looking at the 58" Panasonic, just that much cheaper than the 60's and noticably bigger than a 50-52".

Yeah, there is no such thing as too big of a TV. We normally sit 14 ft away from a 61" set and while it looks big at first, after a month you get used to it. My wife said we could have gone with the 70" TV. When somebody is sitting on our other couch they end up being about 10 ft away and it helps having a 1080 display.
But, considering your primary viewing will be 10 ft away, I wouldn't go with a 768P set at that distance.

Ya... go big!!
I sit 12' away from a 110" 2.35 scope screen. Way cool....
I almost forgot about the little TV upstairs. It's a 46" and we sit about 8' away from it.

Well, I got a good deal so I bit the Bullet, since it's most likely the last TV I'll be buying in a while I bought the Pioneer PDP-6010FD 60" 1080p. I'll give a small review if anyone is interested after it arrives. And Tom you were right I upsold myself  Thanks for the help everyone.

Sounds like you found a good one. My general rule of buying TVs is always get bigger than people recommend for your space. TVs always shrink to me as I get used to the picture, so I go as big as I can fit.
