Is a 60 inch Plasma too Big?

[squirrel dog]

I have a 57"toshiba,cant wait to go 70" or larger.We sit maybe 10' back. Mine sits on a stand,not wall mounted.At these sizes I didnt see the need to wall mount as they seem like a door turned on its side.Some thought would have to go into a large wall mount install,and I wouln't do it,I would have the'pros' do it.

I think 150" is probably the more ideal size.

the only time its too big is when it doesn't fit on the wall and you end up having to cut the ceiling up a bit to slide the screen into the wall.... oh and this is assuming that you've already broke the wall to your house to get the screen inside. yea its a hard knock life, what ya gonna do bout it

Get a bigger TV and build a house around it?

actually, I think a 60" plasma is too big. Very hard to mount on wall and very easy to tip over. Bad idea.

Very hard to mount on wall? I had installers do it in two hours for a 63" on a tilt mount, with no problems. Don't talk if you don't know what you're talking about.

Tilt mount, is that in a bar? In a home environment, unless you are lucky and your installation spot lines up with the studs, it's a pain. If you are doing prep before the drywalls go up, then it won't be too bad.

I have a 50" plasma and I sit 15 feet away and it still looks great.

I would get a projector and use the whole wall. (unless your room is always bright)
