52" Vs. 46" Qualtiy difference? I would rather go big, and get the 52" but does going bigger mean just stretching the picture and sacrificing Quality?

I think 46 is plenty big. I wanted the 52, but just like you $70 an inch didn't suit my needs. I believe at only 10,000 dynamic contrast ratio the 46 probably looks better too. Hope this reply isn't too late.

If that's the 4K I would say go for it -I have a 48 which they said is too small to be any better in a 4K but a 55 and 65 you want 4k---my 48 is a great TV and a perfect size for my smaller den

I purchased the 32". It died 40 days later. I have responded before and would tell anyone to RUN and not buy the TV. If you do, then buy the warranty because trying to get it replaced by the company wasn't worth the headache. I just dumped in the trash. Biggest waste of money.

I think a 51" or 52" would be fine. I have a 50" on mine and there is plenty of room.

M. Robel... Thanks for the reply. Seeing the tv in the store makes me agree with you. There are just so many posts out there on the internet that say it might be too big, and then you have the ones that give you such a huge range of size to distance ratio and it makes it difficult to decide when you are spending that much money. I appreciate your reply, and am definitely going to to with the 46".

I wondered the same. From what I gather, the 30B is 47" and the 32B is 42" but otherwise the same, I believe. The 32B with my 65" Tv works great for such a price savings. I wouldn't notice any difference of 5 inches for twice the price. I believe, at the time, I made the right call but see the price has lowered for the 30B. So moot point now. I wouldn't pay for the above price for either, keep searching.

The 70" inch seems small in comparison to the 80". I've compared them side by side at best buy and there is definitely a huge difference. I say if you really want to go all out, get the 80"! The 70" inch is 2200.00 right now. The 80" is 4000.00. They are matching certain coupons from HH Gregg and the out the door price with tax will be 3500.00. Now that's a deal!

I really don't think there is much of a difference between the 51 & 52. Before going to Costco, look around too see if there is a better deal out there, if there isn't then Costco away!

Good eye, sir. I do see where you are correct on Canon's website. I missed that detail in the comparison. Normally I'd say I wouldn't notice the difference in quality, but given I'll be putting this on my 56 inch HDTV, I bet it will be noticeable. The HF100 does feel cheaper. The extra bulk from the HDD makes the unit more managable. That plus the menu makes it less appealing.I would say the extra $65-70 is justifiable given the 60gb of included space, especially considering if you can get your hands on a 32gb SD card you'll be paying well over $100. Maybe in a year it will be <$100, but by then these camcorders will be cheaper anyway. I've made up my mind on the HG20! Good eye, sir. I do see where you are correct on Canon's website.

I currently have a 46' and i still have space to fit a bigger TV. You could fit a 47'easily but I think you could go up a 50' that's just me. The stand has a sticker on the back that says it holds a max of 95 pounds so you be the judge from there on. I hope I answer your question. ^_^

I even signed up for the Amazon store card so that I could get the not finance charge for 18 months. If I do get the set from Frys.com or Abes then I going to have to deal with the hassle of closing out the Amazon card too.I have bought a few cameras from Abes of maine. They did fine by me in the past. I'll have to check it out.Its funny they keep raising the price of the 46 and lowering the price of the 52inch. The 52 inch only by a $1 at a time though.Maybe they want to sell more 52s?

When I purchased, I stood back from a 50 and a 52. It was amazing to me how much larger the 52 seemed from a distance of 10-12 feet. I went with the 52.

I have no idea why anyone would want to go smaller. Beyond the size (which is great) you get the bonus of the rear projection option which, after using twice, is AWESOME! Go big, you won't regret it

i can't speak for the 46", as my TV is the 22"...that being said, you are correct, my set actually has a 60hz refresh, not the 120 that is hinted at in the "marketing" material...this is technical malarkey for "sort-of"...well it's not...for a little set in the kitchen where we use ours no big deal at all...we watch all sorts of stuff on it, including Blu-Ray movies...for a "main" set where you are watching a lot of "action-stuff" like sports this would be a consideration...blurring as an example...Samsung makes a great product, however my personal recommendation for something that large i.e., would be a Sony...they do cost more, and the picture is worth it...and the re-fresh will more likely be an actual 240hz or better depending on the model...good-luck...jo'c

hi, i have a similar size room, tried 26, 32 , and 37 inch. 32 is best. one thing not talked about often is, there's also a minimum viewing distance for these tvs, esp. 720p. any closer, you see the pixels, any noise in the image, etc. with a hq tv like samsung, sony, sharp, my experiments indicate for a 32" around 5 feet is about as close as i'd want to go. anything else, i'd have to go to 1080p (the sharp 32" aquos 1080p model is great up to 3 feet, but more $$). btw, right now you can pick up a samsung LN-T3242H at circuit city for $720 if you're a AAA member (you need to go to www.aaa.com/circuitcity to get a coupon code). this model is a level down from the 3253H but i picked one up yesterday and so far it seems pretty good to me. you can read about both models on amazon. good luck.

You're lucky because I have a 10' room as well. I measured the image size diagonally and at full zoom in the image size was 98". It looks pretty good and big. If you're watching 4:3 it's even bigger. And for wide screen it's a bit smaller than 98".

I've seen the 47" at Frye's (in California), it looks nice. I want the 5500 too. Just can't decide on 42" or 47". The LG matt screen finish helps with daytime glare from a window. Samsungs are too shinny.
