42" 1080p or 50" 720p? That is the question.

Posted by RFitzgerald on December 17, 2009 at 09:18:09:
Have been looking into getting a new tv and can't decide between the many options available these days.

The viewing distance will be 10'-12' in a not so bright room. Main reason for getting a new set is for viewing BD and a little bit of cable junk.

Here's the dilemma: 42" 1080p plasma is around the same price as a 50" 720p plasma. Do I want a higher res. or a larger screen? Do I scrape the bottom of the barrel and get a 50" 1080p? What about LCDs? Are they worth their weight in salt? Are vampires always stronger than werewolves?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
