Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater which tv - 63" + ?

Hi Guys,

Looking into a new tv either 63 or 65 inch. Here is what I know:

I am 152 inches from my current 46" tv which is obviously it's to small at that distance. I could bring the tv maybe 8 inches closer to my seating position but that's about it. The reason why I am now this far ? well if you read my other thread called " bass reduction when sitting down" you will see that to fix my audio problems I had to move my seating position all the way to the back wall. Now I am 152 inches from my tv and want to get a big A$$ tv to replace my 46" one.

I have a Samsung LCD now, series 750 and I think it's awsome. But I think my next one will be plasma.

So far I am looking into Samsung 63" C8000 model and the Panasonic VT 65".

I don't want a projector / screen. Would a 58" be enough at that distance ? I don't want to pay more than $5K for my tv, less is better, but PQ quality is paramount.

I know that the Pioneer Elite are the best, but a: they are over my budget and b: they are discontinued so I am not looking to go there.

sugestions, comments welcome as always,

Cheers,

Steph
