Is the LG 50PM4700 as good of a deal as it looks especially with a second pair of glasses free? Right now I'm using a Vizio 32" LCD, and my viewing distance is about ten feet. I don't NEED to upgrade, but if that deal will last a little bit, I'd pick one up.

I'm really torn. I'm currently on a 32" LCD and its just too small for the living room. It works fine as a Bedroom TV, but now i'm on my own with a bigger space, I think a bigger TV is called for. I'm torn between the 42/47 LCD size or jumping up to 50" and Plasma via Panasonic. I'd really like to stay below the $700 limit unless there is a huge case to be made. I can get the Panasonic U50 for about $700 through amazon, which really seems to be the sweet sport of Size/Price/Technology. Is it really worth having to save the money even longer, and double the price just for the 3D and Black Panel Louvers of the ST50 and up?

I know I've seen several of you buy them.

CrandleBerries posted:Im also looking at getting a 42" LED TV around the 500-600 budget range. I have a Costco membership and would prefer Vizio or Samsung. Has anyone purchased a budget TV from Costco recently? The best deal at Costco, hands down, is the Panasonic U50 50" plasma for $650.

Guess I'll just be content with free cable, although some sort of dvr would be awesome. look for channels with a dash, those are the HD. IE: 13-2, 2-1 and so forth. Those are usually the HD Broadcast stations (NBC, CBS, etc) Part 2: Bull, can you talk about the louver technology on the ST50 and if it makes a big differnce vs the non louvered U50? If you notice that is.

Most TV support stands are looking like $50-100 with shipping and it's much easier just to drill a hole and putty it after, the rental I'm in has off-white paint and the landlord went out of her way to say we can hang stuff on the walls. I always just buy some spackle and matching paint, even if i do it right and mount the TV to a stud.

So I'm looking around at the 50" $700 price point and there seem to be quite a few choices across all the technologies. Panasonic Plasma the U50: http://goo.gl/FOK0c Panasonic LCD: http://goo.gl/6k7jQ Toshiba LCD: http://goo.gl/PrkRA Samsung Plasma: http://goo.gl/uJpKD At this price point is it all just a matter of preference? The light in my room is easily managed, so glare is not a problem. 3D is niether plus nor minus. Thoughts?

I read through the last few pages of the thread, but nobody seems to have a strong opinion of one over the other, but that they were both good in different ways. I don't watch that much TV and am really only planning on using it for movies, so is there anything I should be aware of? Also, what is the expected life of these units? I realize that they are both pretty new, but it'd be nice to know how many years they should last. You and me both man....
