Well, for a while I'd thought my plans for a hi-def tv were dead, what with house buying...but we're getting out for less than we though on closing cost, and my wife's given me the OK to buy a plasma TV for a "house warming gift" to myself I want to shoot for 50", because hell, I like big screens. After looking, and asking other questions here, I've more or less decided on going with a plasma. I like how they look a bit better, they're a bit cheaper, etc. I'm trying to keep the TV to 2200 or less. I'm looking at some Phillips, Sony and Panasonic. I'll be sitting about 8 foot away, and the thing will mostly be used for movie watching. Right now I'm DVD only, so I might invest in an upscaling DVD player. I plan to (eventually) purchase the PS3 and go with Blu-Ray, but not right now. I don't really watch TV, so shows/HD broadcast aren't a concern...just upscaled DVDs and movies. Any good ones? Is it possible to get a good 47-50" plasma for 2200?\
EDIT: I'm looking at the Panasonc TH50Pz77u-50 and Samsung FPT5084 are my two top contenders atm.
