Great Deal on a Samsung 50 Inch Plasma

I just bought this TV after doing a ton of research. I was going to stand in line at 3 AM on Black Friday to get it from Best Buy, but instead I'll just buy it from Amazon (for the same Black Friday price) from the comfort of home. The best part about it? No tax and free shipping!

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. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5
