that one big reason that I'm considering a flat screen is to move the 20" CRT to the bedroom and put the flat screen up on the mantle and in-between my speakers. In this sense, - I prefer a monitor anyway. (My mantle is only 12" deep).I guess that I'll just wait until I see how my new DVD/CDP comes back after the mod.
I only really care about music: but if the HDTVs in higher resolution will cost the same as the EDTVs do now, {in the summer}, I can also wait until the summer.
Thanks a lot for your thoughts.

...look into one of the commercial HD plasma monitors from an e-tailer (there are several good ones, often running specials). They're less expensive than their consumer counterparts, although they lack some of the bells and whistles of consumer sets. If you're going to use it with your existing sound system you don't need consumer features on your plasma like built-in speakers.Check out the plasma forum at avsforum.com for all the hot scoop on plasmas.
That's exactly what I'm looking for.....less of a consumer product and more of a pro product....May I ask further if you have any leads on a good place to buy?
Thanks again for your help.
Heed the wise words of Uncle Joe Murphy and Aunt Harmonia...;-)Get thee to avsforum.com
Not just for the plasma FAQs and discussions (which are enlightening to say the least), but also because the better etailers post their current and best deals over there. 1800 Plasmas, TV Authority...a couple others...you will see feedback over there aplenty. Most of these places do a big business in institutional sales (corporations/schools/businesses) so almost all these online folks have many commercial models to choose from.
I almost bought a 42" commercial Panny or Pioneer a couple years ago myself from 1800Plasmas but decided to wait for something a little large and more affordable. Pannys at the time had the best contrast and biggest bang for the buck - Pioneers had arguably better shadow detail. Plasmas have all come a long ways since then. You can check out the retail versions locally, then order the commercial ones online. Sweet.
