I’m going to place a new TV over the fireplace.
I want a flat screen and I want the best for the money.
The area where the TV can go is 72 length x 48 height (the width of the TV is not a factor) it will be wall mounted.
First question should I go with a LED?
Second what would be your suggest of a brand name? What is IYO the best bang for the buck?

Well, Belly since you are apparently made of money, go Samsung LED 55". Only $1,100 at Best Buy.

In my opinion from my experience, unless you are a huge TV geek (really into high quality, nerdy about resolution and stuff), the price is the best way of choosing. I have an Insignia LCD which is some cheaper TV from Best Buy. It is a 32", 1080p resolution and looks great. Are there better TV's out there? Yes. Any that I would actually notice big differences (besides size)? Nope.

Panasonic plasma. Like a boss.
Best Buy had a 50" Panny plasma for $599. Not sure if it was just yesterday or all weekend.

Not a problem the hearth ? is 48 in opening sending heat out into the room and the mantle is 12 wide between the top of the hearth and the placement of the TV is 3 feet or moreSonofanump;988877 wrote:How hot does it get over your fireplace, I'd be concerned about the thing melting.

Sears has the panasonic on sale for 699 and I know they had some in stock yesterday. The best currently out there are the LEDs but it's hard to notice the difference

I seriously hope people don't really say "Panny" when referring to the brand Panasonic.

People refer to Chevrolet as Chevy.
