Looking for 55 -60 inch display

[frappe33]

Here is my deal - my wife is visually imaired and I am looking for a large TV that she can see easier. We have a 42" currently and it is getting harder for her to read the on screen guides and the like. I don't want to spend over $2000 if possible. Recommendations please?

I highly recommend Panasonic Plasma for the fantastic picture at a reasonable price...I have seen some of the 50" models going for under 2k which is a great value in my book. Plasma is my technology of choice for home theater because of much better black levels versus lcd and a more "filmlike" natural picture quality that is great for watching movies. Also...don't be afraid of plasma technology, I've had my Panny over 3 years now without a single issue and there is even an article on the [H] main page about plasma and lcd only having a 3% failure rate versus projection tv's which have a much higher rate in spite of having older technology.

edit- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8254792&type=product&id=1169512771911 great price on this one if you think 50" would be large enough....I would simply move closer to the screen if you have to because anything larger in the 2k range is going to most likely be an off brand of questionable quality.
