If anyone has more opinions, I'd gladly read some more,
but thanks to everyone for the help.

I installed a 42" Sony about a year ago for my disabled
father-in-law, and ever since, it's just no fun to watch
on the ancient 27" we have. Sure, a 50" would be nice, but
at what point is enough enough. My obsessive side says
70", but I also don't need to go anymore in plastic debt than
I already am (recent home addition). The wife is comfortable
with between $4-5K, but any more than that and we start to hit
her new used car budget, or paying off debt.

AAhh, Fujitsu taste on a Panasonic budget. I'd need different
DSS receivers and off-air HD receivers and so forth for HD, but
barring the aforementioned PBS programs or concert events would
likely rarely miss regular broadcast. I'm also a broadcast
engineer, so I understand all the rhetoric, but avoid the alphabet
channels like the plague.
I do have a soft spot for the movie channels, though, so maybe
HD... Doh!

Pesky big t.v.'s ! I should just stick to my Hi End audio gear!

Thanks again for any input,
RFG
