Choice of Panasonic or Samsung plasma.

I'm not suggesting that you should get LCD or not get Plasma - there are many other reasons to get one or the other including those that are 100% subjective.

I just find it odd that you would put so much weight on a feature that you don't need. If the PQ is the primary factor or you just prefer plasma then that's fine.

In my case I would never have a viewing angle more than about 30 degrees off center so angular viewing was never even a consideration.

I really like the PQ on the Panny plasmas. That's my main concern with any TV. I can't stand poor PQ and I found a lot of TVs that had much worse PQ than the Pannys. I do have rooms where the viewing angle would be more than 30 degrees for some people. I'd be sitting in front of it, but my wife has chairs that she likes and she didn't like the LCDs from those chairs. Last time I watched a baseball game at my friend's house with the 40" Sony LCD, four of us were scrunched together on his couch.

So you DO need angled viewing after all. That's all I was asking.

Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear about that. I have been looking at TVs and I have seen a Sony and a Vizio that were both 240H sets and the angular viewing appeared to be great. The rest of the LCD TVs still seem to have that problem. The last Vizio LCD that I bought did make a great computer monitor, but I couldn't watch TV shows on it. That was a couple years ago and they seem to have improved.
