I agree, but I prefered a neat installation on the wall, just because I dont plan to move it anywhere else. Even if I upgrade to higher size, pipes installed on the wall will remain the same. In case I sell the house later, I will sell the plasma as well !

True. If you don't plan to move the plasma anywhere, then wall mounting it is the best thing to do. But in my case, if I get a 42 inch plasma now, I might go in for a 50 inch a bit later, and at that time I'd have to move my 42 inch plasma to the bedroom to accommodate the 50 inch unit in the hall.

You've mentioned that the TV can't be stand mounted by yourself. Is it due to the weight of the unit ? I thought the plasma was only around 25-30 kg.

What is your viewing distance?
Mine is 9 feet and I am comfortable
Hey PV80 owners, on an average what is your viewing distance for your 42 inch plasmas ? 12 feet for a 50 inch plasma was fantastic as tested in a Samsung showroom sometime back. So for a 42 inch plasma, maybe 9-10 feet should be alright ? Don't want to sit far away and get the feeling that even 42 inch is small, cos it's actually not ! It's huge compared to a normal 29 inch CRT TV

Warm regards,
Venkat
