you can listen to all the banter about everything, but one of the most important aspects was not discussed.
yeah, size matters, but what matters most once you're narrowed down to a couple of good choices with overall visual quality, is refresh rate and black levels. That's where you want to make comparisons. If you are truly into video quality, you'll notice a serious difference between 60 and 120 refresh rate. The larger the screen, the more you'll notice the difference. 60 looks very choppy as compared to a 120 which is very smooth in motion sequences. This drove me absolutely bat-shit crazy with 60 hertz models.
Go to Best Buy and get a floor model. They have a policy where they have to take down/sell their wall display models every 3 months (at least, that's what the salesman and manager told us). You'll get everything included except the box, and a full warranty just as if you bought it new.
My wife went and bought a 51", a blue ray player (with built in netflix), and a yamaha 525 receiver (with 1080p upscaling) and HDMI cables for all of em and walked out at about 2100 including tax and extended warranty.
