Smoke Room TV help

You know what would be sweet for a smoke room TV? A Zenith floor model...it'd give your smoking room a nice antiquey look. I wonder if you could get a LCD or plasma installed inside a Zenith case? Hmmmmmm.

My parents had one of those up until just 5years ago!

Sadly, my neighbors did that...

I have one of these (15+ yrs old), and it WON'T DIE! And of course, my wife says, "We don't need a new TV. The one we have works fine."

Wow! 15 years old. I don't think I've ever kept a TV for more than 5 years. I'd find an excuse for it to die! Maybe a little assisted tv suicide

I just convinced my wife we needed a new TV because of the federal mandate changing all broadcast TV to digital - and we have satellite!

Will have HD and the PS3 hooked to it.

My first venture into the world of Plasma/LCD/LED.

Anyone have any tips, suggestions, or advice is appreciated.

So far from my light recon work, the Panasonic 50" Plasma is the leader.

50" is fine, even a bit small for picking up the full detail of 1080 at that distance.

Lechner's a bit nutty, but it's kind of hard to argue with him once you read his credentials.
