Our condo clubhouse might get some $$$ next month to upgrade the smallish 42" we have hanging on the wall. Our clubhouse is pretty-well lit, though sunlight won't hit the TV directly (South facing) and the windows are 20' away on both sides. Tall ceiling with lights dangling still probably 12' above the ground.
We're not looking for glitzy features, Internet access, or even ultra-thin. Most important thing is SIZE (we'd like to get 60") and good PQ for sports (fast-moving MMS response).
I figure we'll have about $1,500 give-or-take. Ideally, the 'hot' TV from 12-18 months ago would be perfect if we can still get it new (don't want used or refurbished or buying from some obscure online place) since we don't need the current state-of-the-art, top-of-the-line. TV is going to be used for group watching and bonding and we just want something bigger than 42" to go with the new furniture (upgrade from aluminum chairs !
).
Center of TV will be about 7-8' high on a wall and we'll probably be watching from 10-12' distance, maybe a bit more back or further from the sides.
