    Plasma vs LCD

    Tv Make sure that you are getting a large enough TV. We have a big family room and thought a 43 inch was large enough last year. It isn't & now I wish we'd gone with the 50 inch. We had HD added recently and what a difference. Lovely pictures, esp. of scenery. It's an LG LCD. Good luck
