    42 inch Panasonic Plasma. Full HD, 3D and all that jazz. Gorge pic on it. Got it 18 months ago. Was gonna go for an LCD/LED, but the plasmas had a much better picture(less harsh, less cartoony, less flicker). I dunno if that's changed now though?

    A 46" HD LCD tv, an engagement/house warming gift from the parents!

    Gears of War on the aul Xbox has never looked as sexy as it does now!

    I paid a lot extra for a crappy 27" computer monitor to avoid the bloody TV license nonsense.

    Three years later though, I've saved 480 euro!

    I had a 32 inch tv but I couldn't read any of the writing on the screen
    (combination of me being half blind, and the writing getting smaller as other people's tvs get bigger)

    So I got a 51 inch plasma for €450
    Then my wife insisted that we push the couch back against the wall of the sitting room so now I still can't read any of the writing (but our sitting room has more space)

    We bought a telly in 1999 when we moved into our new house, the bloody thing went bang on the thursday before the ryder cup in the k club in 2006, went in that friday morning and bought this massive sanyo yoke which weigh's more than myself but its still going strong, seriously, a russian weight lifter wouldnt budge this thing which was a blessing having had 2 more kids who absolutely hammered it over the yrs, when it goes i'll get a nice 42" lcd or something fancy like that...

    Thread needs a poll!
    My main everyday TV is a 55'' but every so often I dig out my projector....
    And some day soon I will knock walls and rearrange my sitting room so as to make a permanent 10ft screen fit in to the room.....
    Somehow. I'll figure out TARDIS physics and make it fit!

    You won't be avoiding it for much longer.

    46" Samsung LED for me.32" in the kitchen & a 22" in the bedroom with a 19" sitting spare in another room.

    50"
    But it's a plasma, so if I leave anything paused for longer than a few minutes it burns into the screen and stays there for a while. Pain in the hole.

    50" LG Plasma, got it just after our honeymoon 4 years ago and it is still going strong. I initially got it for gaming on the 360 and set it up in the box room on the wall, recliner about 4 to 5 feet away, was like I was in the game. I literally had to turn my head to see things happening on the other side of the map during a game, good times!! It is now been used in our main sitting room.

    My old CRT died at the start of the 2010 world cup and I was just thinking about getting a telly and being able to carry it home - not how big it was.

    You don't have a car or know anyone who has a car either? Excuses, excuses Mike.

    All the "I don't have XYZ so I don't need a tv licence people" are going to be upset in a year or so by the tv licence replacement charge.

    Really? I have a plasma and can leave something paused and get no burn in at all. Odd. Maybe it's an early one, they did have this issue and even then it was only in the first couple of hundred hours were it was more likely. Though what you describe sounds more like ghosting rather than burn. Burn is permanent, though I don't get ghosting either.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
