In Reply to: Joe--thanks for your answers . . . another question posted by townsend on October 1, 2005 at 19:11:51:
Yes.I believe the HDMI boards (Panasonic calls them "blades") are $135 - $145. There are 2 versions of the board available, but I don't know what the differences are.
With the video boards that Panasonic offers for their commercial models, the older boards will work in the newer plasmas. However, the newer boards will not work in previous generation plasmas. For instance, the DVI-HDCP board from 2 years ago will work in the plasma you buy today but the HDMI board you buy today will not work in the plasma you bought 2 years ago.
Follow Ups:
See link below--it says one can mount three optional boards in the TH-42PHD8GK/S. If so, then one could buy two HDMI blades as a substitute for a HDMI switcher.townsend

Sorry if I wasn't clear.Why not a 50"? They're around $2800 now. I paid $5900 for my 6UY. It's unreal that you can now get one for over $3000 less today (less than 1/2 of what I paid!).
Matsushita (Panasonic) demonstrated a full HD 50" plasma recently: 1920x1080 resolution compared to the 1366x768 that's currently the standard. Unfortunately they didn't give a time as to when they would be able to mass produce them (my estimate is Q4 2006).
