Here is my thoughts- I have a 50" Samsung, wall mount. Also have a 53" Pioneer cabinet. When you get whatever you want, be sure to get an extended warranty. I paid $1500 for the Samsung, it lasted 1 1/2 years before the screen went out. Luckily I got the extended warranty ( something I normally dont do, but God looked out for me on this one). The other recommendation, be sure to keep a fan on the component. Some TVs are offering built in fans, but most dont. If it doesnt, get one on it. These TVs sit up against the wall and do not offer a lot of air flow across the components and they get hot and burn out quicker.
