    I have a 55 inch plasma TV and that thing is massive. When I bought it, it was larger than I wanted to get. I don’t get why people are shoving these massive screens in their living room to watch the nightly news.

    If you aren’t sitting pretty close to a giant screen there isn’t a discernable difference. People are just buying into marketing because there has to be something new to make you buy all your stuff over again.

      Plasma TV’s are beasts. They also get hot and use a lot of power. They look great though.

      I have a 77” OLED and while it’s large it’s also very flat and sits flush to the wall. Really doesn’t take up much space at all. The thing that takes up more space than the actual screen are the 12 speakers you need for the surround sound system that goes with it.
