Rich,

Hey glad to see you got your Plasma! I've been following your posts ever since you got your first view of a "good" Plasma screen in NYC. Which I'm assuming is the one you purchased. It was kind of cool seeing your progression from someone who thought Plasma was weak to someone who enjoys it. And I'm sure you did a lot of research along the way before purchasing.

I thank you for your thoughts.

I've got a question for you: What source (besides DVD) are you feeding the monitor with?? Such as for viewing TV; satelite, cable, HDTV tuner? I'm just curious because I'm a cable service technician and I'm always in people's homes and see a lot of what our cable service looks like on HDTV's. 90% of the time it looks pretty crummy because of the source. Cable TV is just not high resolution. Although in a few cases, the image was fantastic. I'm assuming that this is where line-doubling comes in. I'm not too sure, I'm really an audio guy. But in most cases it looked very digital, with loads of artifacts. But I have NOT seen a plasma screen with cable.

And also, are you viewing any TV material in HDTV such as CSI or Jay Leno (I think he's in HDTV) How much material are you seeing broadcast in HDTV? I'm hearing that there is a lot now, but I'm just curious how much is retrievable with just the HDTV tuner without satelite. This may be a whole seperate topic of it's own. Becasue it sounds like you're mainly using it for viewing DVD's.

Again, I thank you for your time!
