I hope by 'DVD', you mean Blu-ray. With a TV that size, you need to watch real HD, and DVD ain't it.
I think it's a fine choice if you can afford it. I have a 60" DLP, and will not upgrade to anything smaller. The reviews on that set look good. They make an 80" also. Enjoy.
the 80 inch is too big for my room. I also would have to sell the remaining children, which I HAVE been considering.
