That's great. Nothing like a big screen movie. FYI, the burn-in thing on plasmas is a bunch of last year's hype. Don't believe it. A DLP screen bulb might last 1000-2000 hours and cost $250 each year to replace. A new plasma will last 15-20+ years at 8 hours a day on average, before it loses half it's brightness. But really, who among us wants to keep ANY TV that long? Most of us here upgrade our technology just like we upgrade our cars, which is every few years or every major change in AV technology. So, for many of us, the HD display we buy today will probably be moved to the kid's room in 4 or 5 years anyway. I am already on my second set of HD TV's for example, in just 2.5 years.

I think one thing some people do wrong is that they don't fully understand what resolution the source is vs. what the native screen rez is. And then they make judgments on what looks better based on that lack of understanding. Lower resolution displays can actually look BETTER to the eye than higher rez displays if they are displaying a pure, native, unconverted format vs. a display that is upconverting something and doing a horrible job at it. The scalers in the cable boxes these days are generally not good, and some TV's also have lousy scalers. It is really important to configure your equipment precisely so that nothing is being stretched, converted up and then down, or being upconverted with the lesser quality of two available scalers. JMHO.
