Giant HDTVs are as American as extended-cab pickup trucks and the Super Bowl. Incidentally, they display the Super Bowl really nicely and require a good-size pickup to get them home from the store. Here's where you'll find the biggest rear-projection models on the market, many of them 1080p models to fill those screens with as many pixels as possible. So if you've got the room, browse this list and revel in sheer size.
Samsung HL61A750
Samsung's HL61A750 61-inch rear-projection HDTV delivers excellent overall picture quality, and, compared to flat-panel options, it's a real bargain.
Price: $1,299.99 - $1,999.99 (check prices)

Panasonic TH-58PZ750U
Although we were impressed by the picture quality of the Panasonic TH-58PZ700U 58-inch plasma HDTV, we prefer the value proposition of its step-down sibling.
Price: $3,357.00 - $3,999.00 (check prices)
