TV Selection: Two Questions

I want to take advantage of the Circuit City liquidation sale and pick up a flat panel. My budget is about $1,000 (which should be plenty with whatever extra discounts are available.)

1. Most interested in LG or Samsung models. Watch Tv mostly at night, just news, b.s. programming. Movies once or twice a month from cable or DVD. Any recommendations? Want to shopt today.

2. Viewing position is mostly straight on about 12 feet from screen. What size?

thanks!

I'd stay away from C.C. for TV. All sales are final that means if you have a problem out of the box you are stuck with dealing with the manufacturer.

They didn't have a lot of selection and it looked like their best offers were 10% off. Floor samples looked to be good deals. But it is pretty well picked over. You'll do better online, Craigslist, or wait for a sale. I did pick up a bunch of CDs at 20% off.

Try Costco if one is close to you. You don't say whether you want LCD or PLASMA. I have had both and like plasma. Get a 50" at that viewing distance. I paid $1200 for my 50" Panasonic 720 last summer and $900 for my wife's 42" Panasonic 1080 this fall. You should be able to do at least as well. I would look at the reviews on cnet and other places before I bought anything.
