They hang on a wall perfect and take up so much less space than on a stand or tucked in a corner. Your theory on sport could be correct, I watch quite a bit of football in SD and it is very blurry on the screen compared to HD which shows it very sharp.

Anyone with a 50" TV in their house has a serious social defficiency.

As an Arsenal fan it's a shame to see it go, but this year all their pre-season friendlies were exclusive to the online channel, so I'm not too sad to see it go.

No. I don't accept that. TV is TV, house size doesn't matter, you don't buy a big TV and sit 50 foot away do you! You buy a TV and sit 8-12 foot away regardless of screen size.

Just joking! Personally, I only have a 26" HD set and I'm very happy with that!

My 50" pioneer plasma takes up less space than my old 36" tv, It only sticks out 3" off the wall where the tv was about 60" in depth, If size made no differance we'd still have 12" portable's, Go for it and get one you'll never look back .:)

No, anything bigger than 32" just looks ridiculous. I will stick with my 32" plasma thanks.

I watch TV for about 2 hours per day.
