Hi guys, im planning on getting a 54'' s1 to mount on the wall in the next couple of weeks. my delema is that i can get a really good deal on a 50'' s1 instead (about $300 cheaper). my question to you guys is the following, would a 54'' wall mounted still look bigger than say 50'' mounted on the tv stand about 1 foot closer to the seating possition ?

Get what will bring you the most pleasure...the 54".

Money has no value until you spend it.

There are published guidelines for this type of thing but I suggest this is a very individual issue. I sit 12' from a 106" diag screen but some folks will sit even closer.

8ft from 54" is a very nice distance in my opinion. I have a 50" plasma in one room and sit 8 ft from it.
