Have Been Looking At Reviews And Cannot Decide. Hubby Insists We Have To Get A 50". Our Living Room Is 12.5" X 17". We Have A 32" Now And When We First Got It, I Must Admit It Looked Huge And Now It Does Not Look At All Bit Once It Had Been There A While.
Have Been Looking At Samsung Ps50c96hdx Model Today And They Are Priced At About 799.00.
Can Anyone Comment On Size And Recommend A Decent Plasma.

I think a 50" screen in a room that size might be overkill.
There are other forums where you can find the maximum screen size that will work for your viewing distance from screen.You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take - Wayne Gretzky

Apart from my typing can you give me some advice on the tv0

For that size of room, it's not remotely a problem. Assuming this is a 720p set, the ideal sitting distance is about 10 feet for a 50", so no problem. If it's a 1080p you should sit a bit closer, around 8.5 feet.0

Not a problem, I use a projector to get a 8-9ft screen in a similar sized room.0

hows the lounge set out - there is some calculation to working out the best viewing distance we have a 43inch and distance from screen to sofa is 9ft0

I have been surprised at how quickly you get used to a big screen. Having done a bit of creative cut and pasting with a broadsheet newspaper to get the gist of a 37" screen, I now wish we'd gone for a 40"! Get the largest you can possibly fit in the space and make a mock up of the size to fit before you decide.Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!0
