Definitely go with the bigger tv. As far as the screen, behind the plastic is the same screen as the Samsung, Mitsubishi has a 49 dollar trim kit that makes the tv look fantastic! I would never spend 3-4k on the internet, go local! Also, get some extended coverage, you will need it in the future.
Great tv!
I am getting ready to buy this TV, but I want to make sure I am getting correct info. The TV will be going in my den which is decent size, lots of lamps and one wall is glass. The room is approx 20' X 26' and I will be sitting about 12-15' from the TV 1) Will I be happy with the 52" or should I bite the bullet and get the 62"? 2) If the glare is too much, what does the picture look like without the screen cover? 3) Would I be better off buying the Samsung that does not have the screen cover? 4)I buy plenty off the internet, but I am reluctant to buy a TV online - should I be? 5) What about the extended warranty for around $400 for 4 years? Thanks for helping a newbie.
