hubby and i are shopping for a new HD tv 50-52 inches, 1080p of course... over all we would prefer to hang it on the wall but a stand could be tolerated.
We were almost set on the 52 inch aquos for 1300 but when we were out and about the other day a guy at sears (i know i hate sears too) started braging up the "new plasmas" I never really considered one because of burn in issues, but he's saying that the issue is pretty mute in the new ones, that they can do more fps, and that they come w/ built in things to "melt out" any minor burn ins... the samsung plasma 50 inch is 1000 bucks. I looked up various articles online but most of them are very wishy washy. I have 360, ps3, and wii.
what direction would you guys go? 1000 on the plasma or 1300 on the aquos or is there something better out there that i just don't know about? I worry about hanging a plasma that big on the wall because they are over all heavier than LCD's. For note my tv room has 5 windows, all have black out curtains though during the day the light is average and at night my room is quite dark even with lights on.
also wouldn't want to go over 1600 for price and being a cheap ass of course i lean on the cheaper end.
