Q. It's getting about time to upgrade. Now I have a finished basement which is a game/media room. The couch will be about 10 feet away from the TV so I'm thinking I can go 60 inches or more, EASY.
A. A few years ago, it was the Pioneer Kuro. Now, it is the Sharp Elite series.
Note that this is the ultra high-end. You will get a very good quality from each top brands also:
Sony = HX929
Samsung = D8000
Panasonic = VT30
LG = LW9800 (but the reviews are mixed)
If you want to go really big (> 70"), you have not a lot of other choices than Sharp though. The rest of the manufacturers stops at 65" in 2011.
(And if you want to wait, new 2012 models will be out in about 1-2 months)
[To AVDaddy: No, manufacturers just announced them at CES in January. Most of the models will be out in March-April, but some are only planned to released in fall]

how much is a 1981 dollar worth now in 2011 adjusted for inflation?
Q.
A. $2.64 by this: http://www.halfhill.com/inflation.html
$2.49 by the US Government: http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=1&year1=1981&year2=2011
Given that goods and services inflation rates are very different by commodity, it is only considered an average kind of number.
The average movie ticket today is $8. In 1981, $2.78 factor 2.88
The average price of a live rock concert in 1981 was $12.50. Now it is closer to $70
Medical costs are way up. College tuition rose much faster than inflation. But, a 1981 19 inch color TV cost about $500 in CRT type 480i. Now, about $150 for HDTV. That was a huge reduction. Technology is far cheaper today than in 1981.

Does anyone know what year the Sharp LC-70LE735U (70-inch) 3D HDTV was released?
Q. Thanks...
A. 2011, but it's still a current model ... although not the largest with an 80" now available
