The Pioneers are cheap or at least they are coming down in price. Do you think they are worth the price? The difference in price for a 60 "pioneer kuro and a 54 panasnoic v series is around $1300. Pany being less. I sit around 11 feet away do you think that a 60" is too big? They are telling that it is not and showed me a chart different than yours. Thx Reno Thanks for your response.

Also, all 720p TVs are entry-level and don't have such a good picture quality as the mid-end or high-end ones (which are all 1080p). So if you want good picture quality, you'll have to buy a 1080p model not only because of the resolution but also because of the better colors and black levels (picture quality). The recommended TV models are on homepage, grouped by size. @Reno: 1080 is better than 720, so there’s no way that 1080 would look worse than 720.

I understand the distance ratio. However, I would like the best viewing possible and also not have TV that will be out of date relatively soon. If I have around 11 feet how much would I be giving up with a 1080 plasma vs 720? My speakers are roughed around 11 feet for surround sound. If I go with 1080 am I loosing out any quality? If you were 11 feet away what you buy and what kind of brand, provided money is not an issue. Cheers, Reno I am having serious issues when deciding what type(1080vs720).

For HDTV you need a larger screen - see <a href="http://www.thebestplasmatv.com/guides/size-optimal-viewing-distance/" rel="nofollow">Plasma TV Size and Optimal Viewing Distance</a> guide. You probably need a 54"-58" screen, maybe even a 63"-65" one if you watch BluRay a lot. I've answered questions like yours all over the site in comments. Just read all the related guides and their comments and you will understand perfectly what is best for you. @Guy: Yes, plasma screens are sturdier, but you can whack them as well :).

In theory, yes you could get a better picture, however in practice you might not. You might even end up with slightly poorer picture. If the TV you have now is a CRT (tube), you should know that those can be technologically very good TVs. The problem is not the TV however but the content - garbage in, garbage out. No matter how good a TV is, it won't do wonders with poor SDTV content so you can't expect to get a significantly better picture. 120Hz, 240Hz, etc. doesn't matter. It is just a marketing mechanism to increase the price and make you think the TV has better features. The only way to buy a good TV is to read in-depth expert reviews where you can see how the SPECIFIC model performs in real life. 720p models have enough resolution, however all of them are entry-level and their picture quality (color accuracy, black levels, etc) is not that great. Since you are feeding the TV standard definition content, consider Samsung as a recommendation - their models have better SD video processing compared to Panasonic. As a conclusion, you can find a better TV than what you have now but the improvement might be small. @Chuck Marshall: This is very subjective and it matters a lot how good is the TV you have now.
