Anybody notice any particular improvements with an upgraded PC on their display?

I don't have any really fancy ones, but I haven't noticed any certain PQ diff with the best ones I have. The stock cord for my Pio plasma was 18/3 shielded with a ferrite near the IEC. It looks kind of lame, but is reasonably long and flexible. I replaced it with a spare 14/3 shielded and ferrite just for the helluvit a year ago even though it made no diff.

I got far more discernable diffs when choosing which circuit to power the display from...all those switching power supplies, and unlike LCD/CRT, a plasma's power consumption/current requirement is all over the place and continually changing = noisy. The difference was noted in how the display affects other things, not in the display PQ itself.

Actually, now that I think of it, I haven't really noticed much diff changing PCs with stuff that uses switching PSs. Except for the plasma, the things I have that use them don't take much current (Oppo/PS3 BD players).
