I'll take picture quality over size anyday. That's why we went with the Vizio 55" 240Hz 10,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio.
Many people think it's 3D without glasses.

Second this model of Vizio. The full-array LCDs with local dimmIng create a superior picture. Consumer Reports loves it.
Warning! This will ruin the experience of going out to the movies since the cinema picture is comparatively so fuzzy.

cnet rates that HDTV as "Excellent":

You specifically mentioned that you would be looking for a 50" TV - Vizio offers a 47" (the one linked to so far is a 55" ) of the same series so if you are looking for a smaller HDTV. You should be able to find the 47" for less than the 55" unless some outfit is having a great blowout sale on the larger one.
On this high spiritual day, let it be known, that I'm morally opposed to smaller. Fill the walls with massive screens rippling with endless Friends, Frasier and Seinfeld reruns. We are soldiers. We will prevail. 50" is the new 27".
btw, I have that 47" Vizio that you mention and it's a stellar performer so far. My earlier purchased 47" Vizio, which was excellent too, was replaced via Costco after something "popped" and the screen dimmed. Costco was military when it came to affecting the repair. And that was in the second year of the free extended warrantee.
