Is your xbox using the hdmi connection or reg rca cables. I have one of the older xboxs so it doesn' t have the hdmi port so I was hoping when I get my plasma it won't look like crap. I'll pm you too.

Component cables give you the same pq as HDMI...

Care to tell us why you think this way? All display technologies have their place

Is it OK to place a large plasma on a glass TV stand?

I have seen glass TV stands that say "will hold a 50 pound flat-screen TV", "will hold a 93 pound flat-screen TV", etc... don't know if I'd trust one without knowing what it's weight limit is though...

I love my Pioneer Kuro-5080 50 inch that I got this year... sadly haven't been able to get a blu-ray yet.. but HD programming, xbox, streaming netflix, and my PC look fan-freaking-tastic on it!

Get a Blu-ray player! I just got a Panasonic BD55k and it's awesome.

Plasmas do weigh more than LCDs. A 42" is less than 100 lbs...so read the specs on your stand.

Certainly didn't want a DLP because I didn't want to deal with the cost of bulbs or the upfront cost on the LED based DLP's.

The performance of my plasma crushes my old LCD. I have absolutely no regrets....other than I wish that I would have gotten the plasma a lot sooner.

My 360 doesn't have HDMI, so I use the component video cables. And I can assure you that it doesn't look like crap.

Yes, I bought the Panasonic DMP-BD35K. It was for a good price and met my needs. I do like it.

I would go with a new LCD myself but with the price you paid for the plasma seems you can't go wrong even if it only lasts a few years. I've heard many a horror story from a Samsung service company warning of the high burn in rate on many models. Here's a test...try playing a game with borders or TV channels with a static image for 24 hours or more, then view a white screen, and tell me if you see perminant marks left behind.
