Ideal set for 7ft viewing distance @ 1080p is 52", so you're definitely on the right track. Also, it sounds like you have ideal lighting conditions. Have you considered purchasing a JVC D-ILA rear projection set, or a front projector?

No Alon... rear projection take up too much room and i will not be getting a Projector..

which Tv an LCD or DLP Tv better ..

Kamla - DLP is Rear Projection, do you have the room for this set? Personally I would probably choose a 61" DLP over a 52" LCD, but that being said I would lean towards an LCoS set (such as a JVC D-ILA) over DLP.

Thax Alon...

Could you educate me why the DLP is better then the LCD...

Hi Verjinder

With all due respect to my good friend Alon Goldberg, I would get that Samsung 67 inch at Costco...please keep in touch...Alon Goldberg is an audiophile with a great deal of knowledge about a lot of things including computers and software and audiophile grade HT/AV equipment...most people regret not getting the biggest screen they can afford and can fit into their viewing room.
