if you push beyond 50 in, you need it to be better than 720
then again, HDMI xbox on 42 in on my 720 P is already orgasmic.
to tell you the truth 50% cable = crappy pic
20% avi movies
30% gears of war
i'm fine with my 42 inc.

Dont want to create a new thread for this so here is my question:
Plasma vs LCD, which one has longer life before you have to replace the burnt bulb?
Is it worth replacing the burnt bulb or just buy a new TV?

Plasmas are usually considered the technology that has the shortest life span, but to put things into perspective:
I think most modern plasmas are rated about 60,000 hours of watching ....That's almost 7 years of continuous watching!
(LCD is ~70,000-80,000hrs)
I highly doubt you'll use your TV 24/7, so, even at 12hrs per day, you're up to almost 14 years of life.
In other words, you have better things to worry about
