I'm thinking about buying a 50" Plasma TV to replace my 42" inch Toshiba I have in my living room. since the kids long ago wrecked their 32" inch LCD screen by putting stickers on it. I'll give them the Toshiba, my wife wants me to haul an old SDTV up from the guest room, I just have a problem with going back to standard TV in our main rooms.
I'm planning on staying with Plasma for the above reason and because I like them.
I'm really not up with the new technology on TVs in the past couple years.
Are there certain things I should be looking for?
Should I go with 720p or 1080p (I sit around 10' from the TV)
A couple sets I have done some looking into are the Pioneer PDP-5080HD 50" and the Panasonic TH-50PZ700U, both seem pretty good.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
