Flat Screen Recommendations: 50 to 60 inch

I bought the panasonic tcp54g25 last month and it is fantastic! Picture is great and there is no problem with reflection. Good price too!

Any flat screen that has a glossed front be it glass or other will have some sort of reflection but I think its always been overblown, yes you may see a felection of some things some times but its not as dramatic as most would argue. Some act like it drowns out the image and you just stare at the show the reflection is casting while missing actual electronic material, thats just not true :)

Panasonic plasmas are definitely the way to go now that Pioneer is not making their model anymore. I have a 50" plasma, and it is fantastic, especially after having it professionally calibrated after the break-in time (I watched carefully so I can do it myself in the future, or adjust this one if I need to).

Plasmas are the best for a couple of reasons - they have better blacks, so all color looks more realistic, and if you are a fan of black and white film, it looks WAY better on plasmas than LCD or LED. Also, movement in sports looks much better on plasmas, if you are a sports fan. And if you are viewing from an angle, plasmas look better than LCD's and LED's as well. The only real disadvantage is that they do put out more heat, and use more power.

Power schmower lol, OP said he doesnt use it many hours weekly anyway. I say hug a tree and fire up that Plasma!

I vote for the Panasonic G25. My 42 has done very, very well for the last year. The THX mode allows for plug and play excellent viewing.
