Hi Guys,

Looking to upgrade my 40" LCD to a 50"++ Plasma. 40" now looks damn small on the wall... whistling.gif

Pls recommend me something so that I know what to look for when I go shopping for it. Too many brands and models out there and most of the salesperson talk rubbish... rclxub.gif

Just want to narrow down my search. Not sure of my budget yet. If possible please state the price range.

Rest of my setup

AVR- Marantz 6004
BD player - PS3 Slim blush.gif
Speakers - Paradigm Cinema 110 CT blink.gif (next upgrade icon_rolleyes.gif )

Thanks.

The new VT series with 3D is out. Is this Panasonic VIERA TH-P50V20K the out going model or a new model? Seen it selling for RM5K++ but the 3D model selling for RM12K++.... rclxub.gif

Can buy 2 sets and still have cash to get new sub...


Added on October 31, 2010, 11:25 amOk guys, what do you recommend?

For RM5K++

I can get the

Panny TH-P50V20K 50" Plasma

or the

Mitsubishi HC3800 Projector

Which is a better buy?

I dont have a dedicated home theater but I can black out the room.
