From the description of the environment and the budget, my recco would be to look at LCD's, and given the size of the room the bigger the better. To get into the 60" and bigger range, which given room size is where I suggest you concentrate, you're going to have to up the budget by as much as 50% over the top of your range. You can definitely get into the 50" - 55" size category with your current budget. In this size group you may want to look closely at models from LG. Not so much because of picture quality, but because of connectivity with computer and internet sources. LG seems to be just a little ahead of they competition in this respect. Personally, I am not a fan of LCD. I prefer plasma, but given your requirements I feel like the LCD would be a better fit for your situation.
