is the 60inch tv gone forever?

[avnut]

I currently have a Panasonic th50pz80 and it is a fantastic tv but the time has come for the upgrade(aprox £2000).After searching around I find all the new models from panasonic and samsung are 55,65 or even 75+ no point going forr the 55 as not much different to my 50 and the 65 are well over £2000 and thats my budget screwed.

Panasonic has announced a few 60-inch models: ZT65, S60 & DT60. I agree that the manufacturers have generally gone for 55 & 65 inches instead this year.

60” is ok for a bathroom or watching the news or bargain hunt but not much else, therefore you have to go for a big screen (Or better still a projector) if you want to watch films or anything else.

There is one effective way to increase screen size, just sit closer :read:

Could give this a go... It could be replaced with something else shortly as its a 2012, and that is not a lot of discount for the time of year. You may find one cheaper elsewhere!

I like that TV, I have demoed it loads of times! Black levels are really good too.

Admittedly, this isn't a world (or bathroom) I know or understand.

Abacus, are you a Sheikh? Do you own one or more football clubs?

Quite apart from finding inexplicable the view that 60" is too small, I was concerned as to the consequences of having a steamy shower with a TV in the room.

Tv's in bathrooms have been around for years, nothing new their, some tv's were/are waterproof.

I stayed in a hotel room with a TV in bathroom once. Had two roll top baths, the Mrs and I drank beer and watched Aeroplane. Great way to spend an evening!

Commercially available 60" TVs for the home? I stand corrected!

You must be too young to remember CRTs ? 36 inch was considered an enormous screen, while 21 inches was common in a lot of homes. Amazing what you get used to when you have no choice.

Just copied this from plasma tv's in pricerunner,

42" in (32)

50" in (49)

55" in (5)

60" in (18 )

I'm surprised their is no 46" but plenty of 60" if you look around.
