With the Samsung, I don't have to be very far off axis to see the degradation. It's only perfect looking when I view from dead-on straight ahead. Sit down and I notice a little bit off, move one seat over and I notice it even more. I've been wanting to upgrade my 37 inch to a 47 inch, so maybe this is the one, but I have too many irons in the pot to justify it today. Maybe next year. Anything over 47 inches, I have to take the speakers off the wall, and that would be bad.
