How Can I Tell How Big Of A Television I Should Buy?

I am looking at purchasing either a new LCD or plasma television. I would like to know the pros and cons of both and how to determine the approximate size of TV given the size room that I am planning on putting the television in.

I would recommend LCD over plasma.Picture quality of lcd can not reach plasma but lcds are thinner set,less power consumption,not burn-in and last longer.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5 http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i…

I recommend this …
Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color
Please try this link…..http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LN52A650-5…
I researched this TV by reading reports from a major consumer magazine and the reviews in Amazon. I also looked at the TVs from Samsung in the local stores. But locally this model was very hard to find. I did find next model down in 52 inch and comparables in the smaller sizes.
Several reviews said the picture was “stunning” or “spectacular”. Well we have owned this TV for 3 weeks now and the picture is truly stunning. As I read in one review, it is like you are on the set watching the characters and action.
Even our standard DVDs look much better than with our old LCD TV.
Pros:
Excellent picture from Sattelite, Standard DVD and Over-the-air sources.
Simple setup and adjustments. There were minimal tweaks to set things up.
(but then I only have it hooked up to my home theatre receiver and OTA cable).
Cons:
- slow to power on to picture, delays in picture appearing when changing channels or sources. (but not a major issue.
- Screen is more reflective than most LCDSs I have seen but not as much as Plasma or CRT Tvs. The brightness of the picture does overcome this in my situation but I would check it out if you are using it in a very bright room.
If I had to do it all over again I would definitely buy this TV.
I bought it from Amazon and the price was much less than what I could find locally. The delivery went smoothly.
Hope you like it.
