Hi Guys,

Are you satisfied with your 42 inchers or you wish you had purchased a bigger TV? I mainly plan to watch 1080p prints and game occasionally. But Movies/TV is first priority. I dont think i will be installing a set top box even.

Also, any pointers to affordable 50 inch plasmas ( within 50-60k ) ?

i have a 42" sony bravia smart tv (led)..

Personally, i don't regret getting a bigger tv because :

1. at that time, anything above 42" tv from sony was out of our budget.
2. The viewing Distance is not very big..If you plan on getting a 42", make sure you have atleast 6-7 feet viewing distance between you & the TV. Anything bigger than 42" & get ready to calculate the distance from where you'll be sitting to watch movies.
