Good Monday Morning! ... I surely HOPE that you were jesting!! ...to accomplish WHAT you are asking would require significantly More Hours than exist betwixt Now and Then!

A) - in my view & experiences, NEVER buy anything from your stated Vendor! ... Amazon.com with their "White Glove Guaranteed Dely" if-you-please!!!

B) - ONlY a 'Plasma' specie should be considered as a First Choice ... the old hat of {Not suitable for Viewing Rooms w/ brite Ambient Lighting Conditions} is incorrect on it's face, of course! ....ALWAYS decide upon an appropriate HDTV Viewing environment ..OR.. a magnificent, very-grand, Social Entertainment Living Room ... can NOT be Both, successfully!

C) - Your 'POST' didn't mention this ... BUT ... there are zero 'LED' HDTV sets, of course! ... that was strictly another Game of 'Smoke 'n Mirrors' brought forth by the Marketing Folks in an attempt to make One & All rush-to-their Stores and acquire this <Totally-brand-new Technology!!> ...strictly a different method of 'Backlighting' that Display Panel .... Otherwise, just another LCD set, of course!

D) - 'HDTV' is a Generic Term within the Industry to depict or mean ' High Definition T.V.' ....NOT a different Sort of Set at all.

E) - HOWEVER, you WILL need to decide whether a [720p] / {1080p} ... 'Way Back in the beginning, ABC network as well as some Others decided up the former for the transmission & display of all things SPORTS. ....EVERY one else selected the Latter, however! Currently and for a number of YEARS, the 720p represents a Basic TV, without many of the more-popular Features / Options!

Very Generically, this has to 'do' with the array of 'Pixels' that comprise the nature of our Display Panels ... 1080p also stands for/represents 1920 x 1080 of these upon such a Panel, well North of a number that you & I might count as (1 - 2 -3 -4 ) of course! ...each and every single 'Pixel' IS controlled separately, please do understand!!!

F)- Also needed with be the Viewing Distance betwixt your eyeballs while the Body is in it's normal seated Place and that Display Panel. THAT and Only That should be what is utilized to determine the 'size' of the Display Panel needed!!! ... there are countless "Charts" ...google the subject, BUT, generally Never Get less than a 50" Plasma / 52'' LCD. MORE is preferred for many Viewing Environments! ...any smaller and you are simply NOT viewing 'HD!' and it's "Immersion Effects!' { NOT to be confused w/ 3D!}

G) - ALSO mandatory w/b a entirely-different Cable Company set-up TO YOUR HOME! ..... this in itself will be daunting! ... which 'HD' Set top Box ( there ARE many from which to pick!) ... How Many Optional "Packages" of 'TIERS' within your Subscription .... On & On & On, until it becomes about $200 / Monthly!!!

H) - Perhaps, NOW, you will begin to GRASP what I meant at the Outset??? ....MUCH, much MORE so, please do re-post?

OOOPS ! I was 'TIMED-OUT!' ...NEVER even got to mandatory , separate, external Audio System required for the 5.1 Dolby!! ....Zero 'TVs' can accommodate that w/ their tiny, ultra-thin Chassis & subsequent Terrible Quality Speakers / non-Ampfliers! ...PLUS, a Wall Mounting, with Hidden Wiring!!

.....sorry!
