    ^ ^ I could use that. I've got some fiber cables that are way too long that I'd love to shorten and use for my home system. I heard there are self-taught kits out there. I may get one one day.

        not yet. looks like I might pick up the Sharp LC-46D62U. My closing date on the house is July 31st so I want to see if the price drops a bit more. I would much rather go for the samsung, but it is a bit out of my range on $$$$. Next year when we finish the basement, we will be going for a projector for that 100" screen.

        The only draw back on the sharp is there are only 2 hdmi connecters.

          Assuming you will setup a home theater as well, get a receiver with multiple HDMI ins and single HDMI out, you wont have to worry about having fewer than desired HDMI inputs.

          I have my eye on this sucker next year

            You know there are HDMI switchers and routers available right? You can have up to five sources with one output or the other one has for two inputs and four outputs. Just a thought. Ophit are the guys that have the nice ones. I saw them yesterday at InfoComm.

              Yea I've seen those switchers but it does nothing more than allowing multiple inputs. Yes price is also a major concern especially if you've already got all your gear together. Thats why I asked IF he is considering setting up a home theater, in which case the Receivers are a much better idea because not only can you switch from multiple HDMI sources, your analog inputs are all upscaled to 1080i and sent to your TV via your HDMI connection.

              Moreover (iirc) Sony's dumped the Faroudja DCDI interscaler in their latest HDMI compatible receivers for better upscaling picture quality. The HDMI switcher is a bandaid remedy if you've already got your home theater gear already.

                Don't forget the routers as well as the switchers.

                  You all pretty much nailed it. However one thing I did want to mention is the whitewash on plasmas to remedy burn-in actually is useless, all it does is age the picture quicker. If you get a plasma, Panasonic is the way to go. All burn-in is temporary.on those sets and they have fantastic pictures.


                  I work at Ccity in home entertainment. Any specific questions shoot me a PM, I'm pretty good
                  Cheers!
