Thanks everyone. We have a very old home (125yrs at least) and the placement of windows makes finding a TV spot difficult. When we bought the home, I built an entertainment center between two windows and filled it with the largest TV possible (the 30" tube 1080i set we have). However, we usually sit around 10' away from it and would like something bigger...if possible. The only other location we could put a TV is above our fire place (there are absolutely no other places that would work)!!! Above the fireplace we are constrained because we don't want it to be as wide as the fireplace itself (60"). I have actually measured our viewing distance again today and came up with more along the line of 12'...not sure if that 2' makes a difference.
I am leaning toward the 47" LCD 1080p. It is only $40 more than the other set...
As far as make etc...we are looking at Best Buy Insignia sets (both). Standard price for the 47" is $830...and we have family who works there and may be able to get a good discount...
