I would recommend more careful consideration on size. The most commonly heard regret of the RPT owner is, "I should have gotten the next largest size".

I'd been considering either the 55" or 65" Mitsubishi. It took me a long time to decide - carefully measuring and thinking of how each set would fit into the decor of the room and considering the viewing distance. When my 65" set was delivered, it looked HUGE! Especially since it was replacing a 46" 4:3 set. I wondered whether or not I made the right decision considering my viewing distance was 12 feet. After a few months, I didn't even notice the hulking black "monstrosity" anymore. Now the picture almost looks too small and I wish I had enough money for the 73" set. Alas, the price to upgrade from 65" to 73" is around $5000 so I'll have to settle.

Given the relatively minimal difference in price ($500 in the same line) between the 46" and 55" sets, either get the larger one now or make sure you buy from a store that allows you to return the 46" set for full credit toward an upgrade later.

Trust me on this one. (Of course, I'm single...)
