I'm looking for a sub $800 TV myself.  My girlfriend watches Netflix on the daily from the Wii U and I mostly will be using it for Wii U, Netflix, football (seasons over for now) , and the occasional blu ray movie.    I'm looking for it to be at least 50 in.  Anybody have any suggestions?

Watch for this TV to drop under $800.

The best TVs in the 50-59 inch category are all either Panasonic or Samsung plasmas:

2013 models should be launching soon, which means the 2012 models should be cleared out soon, as they are starting to be already with $400-500 discounts. The easiest way to tell 2012 from 2013 Panasonic models apart is the 2012 ones have a "50" in their product name, while the 2013 ones have a "60". 

For example, VT50, GT50, ST50 are all 2012 Panasonic plasmas, while VT60, GT60, ST60 would be 2013 models.
