Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What would you do?

I'm 12' away from a 96 X 46 screen. I'd say go at least 55". Or better yet, a projector. But if you want / need to stick with a TV, I installed one of the new Samsung LED LCD's for a freind. That TV has a very impressive picture, and it's only about an inch wide.

I'm with the bigger is better crowd, we're 12' away from a 73" screen and for watching TV it's fine *most* of the time but we're going to add a projector in the near future for watching movies ... whenever we first got the 73" TV we thought it seemed huge and would suffice forever but that idea soon changed.

Anybody remember whenever we thought a 32 or a 35" TV was huge?

Is say get the biggest baddest tv possible

I hardly ever hear anyone say 'I really wish I went with a smaller screen', especially at the distance you sit.

Oppo is nice due to the multi-format, and if you like jazz and classical music as there is a good selection of SACDs out there.

I was at my Sister-in-Law's house this evening and they have a Samsung 46" in a room similar to our future room. It really wasn't that bad watching TV on it, but I know I will be wanting more than that for movie watching. I hope to grab a 55" LED. The LG LH90 is still at the top of my list for PQ/Price. Costco has the Vizio 55" which has the same panel as the LH90 for a couple hundred less and Costco offers a 2 year Warranty standard, I may go this route. My niece just picked up a Sony 52" XBR9 and they love it, I have seen it in the 42(?) size and it was very good, The 52" is the same price as the LG, decisions, decisions

Streaming on the TV not required and as I am looking at the Oppo, streaming for the BR player not really required.Any way, I am in Canada and we get very little of the free streaming abilities up here, basically just Youtube, or so I have been told.

I almost picked up a LG LH90 a couple weeks ago when I was looking for a backup display. May still do it if I see a great deal or wait until I absolutely need it in hopes of getting a better deal or something better down the road.

Get the biggest screen you can. I still use my 56” DLP for some mundane computer stuff and even at 6’ away it’s to small now. Like watching a TV vs being at a movie. So if there’s any way you can swing it get a projector and screen if not get a big TV.

Just been checking out online pricing and a retailer here has the Panosonic 58" S1 Plasma for $1999, this may be too good to pass up, providing I can get one, as it is a limited number sale.

Good luck.

I love my 50" lcd rp, but my next tv will definitely be in the 58-60" range. Probably plasma, but not sure.

According to amazon, 6ave has that tv on sale for $1643 with free shipping... I don't think they ship to Canada though
