Ho-kay, so...


TLR:

1) LCD vs Plasma, which would you get?
2) How would you set up a living room with said TV and a computer when you still use it daily?
2.1) Gaming chairs or desk type things, what do you suggest?

I am looking into buying a 50"-55" Television for gaming on my PC and watching DVD's and such. All through my desktop.

As far as what to purchase, I am still torn between going with either an LCD or Plasma.
Obviously with the LCD there is no chance of Image Retention (Burn in). But from what I have read, the plasmas from 2010 seem to have improved upon this issue significantly. But it's hard to find more reviews, because the arguments still seem very jaded (50/50 for what's better).

Anyway, as far as LCD vs Plasma, which would you go with?

Now the bigger problem...

Setting up the gaming room.

I cannot set the TV on a wall mount, sadly. So I need to look into getting it placed on a table or console. What should I do about comfort while playing?

I have never been a fan of the keyboard on my lap, and the mouse on the armchair, sort of thing. (IE: Laptop gaming.)

And I have grown quite accustom to playing at a proper desk with a chair. But since it's in my living room, I simply can't have a desk in the middle of the room.

How would you go about setting this up?
