Size can be a problem. I normally watch TV in the bed room so have the 60
incher at the foot of my bed. There is only a 16" gap between the bed and
the TV which I have to thread through. A flat screen on the wall would
help
this but I really need the sized because of cataracts and detached
retina.

Stanley, we bought 2 LG Tvs. One 42" plasma and one 36" LCD. Both have
wonderful pictures, though we have experienced some burn-in on the sides
of the plasma where non-HD channel pictures leave a blank. But that was
only after 2+ years. When comparing, we found the pictures as good or
better than the Sony, and the price much better.

You should be aware that plasma TVs put out a LOT of heat from the screen.
Much more than projection TVs. If this is a factor in your bedroom, you
might be better off with a projection TV again.

Well I just got back from Circuit City where I bought the Sony 60"
projection TV at a cost of $3456! But wait... they had a promotion if you
bought the TV AND upgraded your cable to HD, AND bought an installation
package from Firedog for 399.99 THEN you got a FREE ($800 value) Onkyo
surround sound home theater package. So after all this "free" stuff, and
special promotions, extended warrantees, TV stands, necessary cables, surge
protectors, delivery and set-up charges plus $435.58 sales tax I walked out
the door almost $6000 poorer!

How come all that free promotional stuff costs so much? LOL. Anyway they are
coming to install it Friday and I am looking forward to it. I also gotta get
a new cable box from Time Warner and they add all these features for only an
extra $1.99/ month so I said why not?

Take care
