Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 | With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

If you arfe looking for an extra large Tv, go for a plasma. Plasma Tvs are the current size champions, particularly when comparing Tvs that consumers can absolutely purchase. Lcds are catching up in size with their developing technology, however, and may surpass Plasmas in the near future. This may be due to difficulties in producing glass large sufficient for larger plasmas.
Burn-ins
With the latest plasma technology, this is less of an issue than ever before. The Pixel Orbitor, for example, is a recipe of reducing burn-in used by plasma manufacturers. It requires no added programing from the end user as some older burn-in arresting techniques did.
Note: If you plan to use a plasma for gaming, some games with permanent 'dashboards' may still cause some burn-in. If you will be using the television for display use only, go for an Lcd. Plasmas are more likely to get burned-in pixels.
Miscellaneous
- Lcd Tvs are far less brittle than plasmas. This is also an advantage when the tv set has to be shipped or moved to a different location.
- Lcd Tvs are also much easier to setup than plasma Tvs.
- Lcd Tvs have a better operation at high altitudes.
- Lcd Tvs are often cheaper than plasma Tvs. The incompatibility in pricing is getting smaller, however.
Ofcourse, all this facts is available all over the web. For a detailed comparison sheet, I propose using Wikipedia's comparison sheet.
