That sound about right Rocky. I am approx 8-10 feet depending where I sit and the 50" is good. 6-9 feet, the 46" sound ok.

Sales person who helped us said some of the 55s were coming back and being traded for smaller ones because they were found to be too bright - overpowering. Our seating is 6-9 feet from the TV. She said at that distance 46 was best.

Couple of HDMI cables - won't know the final cost until escrow closes and the financing comes through on those though. What's up with those cables???? Upgraded the Cable to get HD and got the converter box- now have many more channels I won't watch than before - but the monthly cost didn't go up. Also got a remote that supposed to be universal and seems it will be if we ever learn to use it. Hooked it up to my Sony stereo with a couple of good Klipsch speakers. Not home theater but - step at a time. The only blu-ray DVDs we could get last night were at the $1 kiosk at the grocery store - Casino Royale - not a bad Bond flic - predictable but satisfying. And The Fifth Element - Bruce Willis - lamest sci-fi we've seen. Ever. But so campy it was entertaining. Pundit was out of town on a women's retreat in the mountains so it was boy's night - me and Noah - a high tech evening. She's back now but hasn't been upstairs where the 'unit' is located and we haven't told her. We'll go up later to watch 60 minutes or something. Guess we get the Simpsons in HD now. Next step - run a cat-5 from the router to the blu-ray and get Netflix, blockbuster, Pandora,and you tube on the HDTV through the blu-ray. Next step - upgrade the TIVO to an HD or DVR equivalent. Watched some National Geographic, Animal planet. Really nice picture. You can see the individual blades of grass. For everything else there's Master Card.
