Guys, thanks a bunch.

As far as suggestions for direct view tvs, it seems we're stuck. Our one area for a tv is the big, built-in bookcase where our current 27" resides. The structure of the bookcase pretty much precludes the addition of a larger direct view tv with their bulky behinds. One reason the plasma screens intrigues - because the book case could
accommodate the slimmer volume. For this reason I also wanted to investigate a front projection system. However, our tv/family room is heavily windowed, with large amounts of ambient light. As I understand it, this would suck for front projection. (Although, I guess we could keep our current tv there for most viewing, and have a pull down screen to watch DVDs at night?).

BTW, I visited our local hi-end/home theater center again and watched more DVDs on that Panasonic Plasma tv. I'm tellin' ya guys, it just blew my mind again. I don't think the picture from this set is commensurate with most people's experiences of plasma screens. For instance, all the other plasma screens I saw at the store (Sony, for
one) left me unmoved - pretty good, but still a little blurred, slightly smeary, and a lower level of contrast than the direct view tvs, which washed out the color. But this Panasonic apparently boasts
some impressive contrast technology and holy cow does it seem to work.
For clarity, detail, brilliance, contrast, and richness of image it easily wiped the floor with every high-priced tv of any technology I could find in the store.

I...think...I...might...be...hooked.

Again, I appreciate the info.

Cheers,

Rich H.
