OOT help me pick a TV

[Hoopster81]

Hey guys,

I have been browsing the forums at AVS lot the last couple days trying to educate myself about the differences between plasma and LCD to see which is best for me. This is an x-post from there, but I wanted some 2+2 input.

A little bit about my situation:

-My budget is up to $2000.
-My couch is ~7 ft from where the TV will be.
-It will be used almost exclusively for TV and some movies.
-I do most of my TV watching at night (reason against LCD maybe)
-I don't need to hook it up to my PC as a monitor (").
-I do not get HDTV at the moment, but would get it through Comcast if I had a high-def TV.

So, I guess I am leaning towards plasma at this moment, but am not set on it by any means. Here is what I am looking at right now:

Plasmas

-VIZIO P50 HDTV

Is this going to be way too big for how close I will be sitting from the screen? And while not the best brand for plasmas, Vizio seems to get decent reviews on AVS from what I have read.

-Panasonic 42" TH-42PX6U

A 42" plasma for the same price as the Vizio above. Panasonic seems to be one of the better plasma brands. Would 42" be better than 50" since I am 7 feet from the screen?

LCDs

-Sceptre X37SV-Naga LCD

Seems to get decent reviews on AVS.

Anyways, I would really appreciate any input.

Thanks
