hello everyone. finally replacing my old 27 inch mitsu that has served the family well. i have been contemplating whether to get an lcd or dlp. my price range is about $3500. so far i had my sights on the samsung hl-p5063w, but then i just recently saw the new sony 55wf655 and like the design. my dad saw a panasonic 42 inch plasma hung up on a wall at a friends house and thought that it would be nice. but i told him that 42 inch widescreen is gonna be too small for the living room. the distance from the sofa to the tv will be about 14 feet i think.

i am planning to get atleast 50+ inches and want a tv that is CRISP in picture quality and nice in design. which one of the two (samsung or sony) would you choose or currently own and feel that it is just an awesome tv. other brands and recommendations are gladly welcome. thanks for the help.

my current ht setup: klipsch klf-10 mains, klipsch c-6 center, klipsch ksw-12 sub, generic standing floor speakers for rears (the design for my living room sucks, i can hang up rear speakers on the right side but the left side has no wall it is a walkway), sony 777es receiver, pioneer elite 5 dvd changer, vcr, monster 3600 power center, audio2000 karaoke mixer, pro.2 wireless mic receiver + mics.
