Shopping for a flat-screen television and unsure of whether you should go in for the 42 inch plasma HDTV television or the 62-inch plasma TV? There are a whole host of factors to keep in mind when choosing a plasma TV, and size is just one of the considerations:

• Gain some tech know-how. Read up about the benefits of plasma technology: higher resolution, no scan lines, great color accuracy, flat screen, slim design, universal input capability, etc.
• Size it right. Measure the space the TV will go into; allow at least 3"open space at the top and adequate space for ventilation behind the TV. Optimal viewing distance for a 37" plasma TV is 6 to 10ft; the distance should be 8 to 12 ft for a 42" plasma TV, 10 to 14 ft for a 50" TV and at least 14 ft for TVs that are 60" and more.
• Resolution is key. An HDTV plasma television is worth the extra bucks you shell out for it: you will be rewarded with a much better display of high resolution computer signals. 
• Crank it up. Check the quality on the inbuilt speakers. 15Wx15W is best. You can also choose to install surround sound in conjunction with your plasma TV.

Going by these criteria, the 60 inch LG plasma TV, the 50" Panasonic television and the 50" Samsung television are all great buys. Panasonic HD plasma televisions top most user surveys when it comes to performance and value-for-money.
