You want one of the new Panasonic Vera 50 plus inch. CNET has been
raving about them for the last couple of months
http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/panasonic-tc-p55st50/4505-6482_7-35118300.html
The good: The affordable Panasonic TC-PST50 series exhibited
outstanding overall picture quality, characterized by exceedingly
deep black levels with great shadow detail, accurate colors, and
solid bright-room performance. Unlike LCDs, as a plasma it has superb
off-angle and uniformity characteristics. The styling is attractive
and the feature set well-chosen, including excellent onscreen help options.
The bad: The ST50 uses more power than competing LCD TVs, and doesn't
perform as well in bright rooms as those with matte screens. It
doesn't come with 3D glasses, and it showed more crosstalk in 3D than
some competing TVs. The ST50 is only available in 50-inch and larger
sizes. Three HDMI inputs is one fewer than most midrange TVs offer.
The bottom line: With flagship-level picture quality for a midlevel
price, the Panasonic ST50 series sets the value standard among
videophile-grade TVs.

which is about what he would like to spend.
What do you all think about this TV?
I am also seeing a lot more plasma screens. I assume that they might be
improved over what there was before because of the abundance of them. Is
there any reason for me to favor a plasma over an LED lit TV?
Thanks,
Bobby
