I’ve been looking at a 55-inch LCD, with an LED backlight (instead of fluorescent backlight). However, I doubt it’s going to be deeply discounted.

Sometime back we did some measurements and found that the best viewing possible for the large screen TVs (55 inch or thereabouts) could be obtained ONLY in two places ~ a double-wide trailer, or a converted townhouse basement.

For the most part a screen that large has a comfortable viewing distance simply not available in the majority of stick-built single-family dwellings in this country.

No, you’re right. The LED tech is not mature enough to really be cheap, but it will come down a lot because the LEDs don’t fail as often as the lamps in traditional LCD screens do.

Go for the 42". The prices will be good at that size and anything over 42" will start showing certain lack of definition.

I looked at 42" and above and finally went with the 42" because of pic quality.
