motordavid: The TV placement will be on the wall shared by the Study. Was concerned about the 2-story ceilings as I didn't want the TV dwarfed by the ceiling height but that probably shouldn't be a concern.

LeMansX5: The builder does have the option of allowing us to place certain outlets so if I got 55" I should be okay? Got any pics of your setup?

nxc: I have heard a lot about the Pioneer Elite Plasma but will have to do more research on pricing to see if in budget. I will be visiting the home site this weekend to determine the sun's path over the home and ensure no direct sunlight. We are already considering black out shades for that room for this purpose.

JV: I have considered a custom solution, however, the home upgrades are costing more than we budgeted so that (at this time) is not an option. Since the CEO is allowing me to do this I do not wish to push my luck with that suggestion (yet).

rayxi: So what dollar range will provide me with perfection for my situation?

pseto: Yes, the $5,000 is just for the TV. I already have a surround system (Boston Acoustics speakers w/ Yamaha Receiver). I purchased all of my cables and protector from Tweeter 2 years ago so that should be okay (may need to look into upgrading). Installation will depend on what product I decide on. I agree there is much to consider that's why I am starting early...move-in date December 2006.

Keep 'em coming...and for all of those above...THANKS! You are already giving me lots to think about and consider...that's why this is the best site in the world.
