I'm looking for a 50 inch flat panel TV to sit above my fireplace in my bedroom. It's a 2ndary (really even a tertiary) TV that won't have a ton of watching so I'm not looking to drop a ton of money (would like to keep it under 2grand... 1500 would be even better). Any suggestions?

Vizio VP50HDTV 50" Plasma.

Yea you can get a great 42" for that but in my opinion the post above is right.

I'll sell you a year old NEC 50" for under 2000. :D Make me an offer.

The reason for the 50 inch is the viewing distance is far (like 15 feet) to the fireplace.
