I am thinking about upgrading my current HDTV set to a larger model with better performance. My current set is a Sharp lc46d64u lcd that I got a few years ago and has served me well but have been thinking about going to a new set that is larger and performs better. Other than size my biggest complaint with the Sharp is how the screen washes out when viewing off center. I know this part of owning an LCD but I believe this model Sharp was a bit below other lcd sets. Size wise I would like a set 54-60" which I feel would be a nice upgrade from the current 46" size. One thing I'd like to note is the width of the set I'd like not to exceed 55-57".
My viewing habits consist of - Dish 722 1080i with HD whenever available, Sony bdp-cx960 for both blu-ray and dvd, and gaming with an Xbox 360 which when I find a game I like could be 5-15 hours a week. I use a denon 3803 for sound.
I have no major need for internet tv or 3d currently but if the a display with those features at the right price/performance is there I don't mind getting those featues.
The room I'm in get light during the morning/afternoon but at night is not super bright but would like to be able to see the TV on weekend afternoons without having to hide all outside light.
Hopefully you can help suggest a new set or let me know if I should wait for awhile in case there is something coming out for either plasma/lcd that will be a difference maker.
