Recommendations for a 50" (or Larger) Display?

An anonymous reader asks: "What display device should I get for a conference room? It can't be a front projection and it should be >= 50" and somewhat slim. If I go plasma, it seems like the burn-in problem could be serious if the unit is used as a monitor -- I don't want to look at either a 'Start' or 'KDE' button until the end of time. LCDs don't impress me since I can only get them in sizes of 45" or less. What about DLP? They make noise, but will it drown out a person trying to make a presentation to a room of 10-20 people? Overall, am I really stuck with a max vertical resolution of 768? Are rear projection LCD's or DLP's slim enough to not dominate a room?"

    I've found http://wwww.projectorcentral.com/ to be a very useful resource when wondering about projectors.

    Oh, and http://www.google.com/ as well. Amazing what information is out there.

    Probably easier to get a new wife. There's a pool of about 3 billion women out there, so I'm sure one of them will meet your criteria for wifehood, and not be so fucken sensitive to shit like rainbow effects or wheat gluten.

    I have a 32' lcd TV from Samsung and I've been really impressed.

    I'd be very impressed to have a 32-foot lcd TV, as well. I knew Samsung was starting to make some big ones, but jeez, I'd have to get a bigger house for one of those bad boys.
