the Vizio P42HD is a great deal. It is about 3000.00. The resolution is 1024x768, contrast 3000:1, 160 degrees horizontal and vertical veiwing angle. I watch all of my off air and dish programming on 720p and it is a beautiful picture.

You can find an affordable plasma. I have a Vizio 42" HD plasma and it has a beautiful picture. I hung it on the wall with a wall kit and I love it. The picture is beautiful from any angle rain or shine. If you get a front projection you will need heavy curtains to watch it. Plasma tv's take a lot of verbal abuse because of the cost. I think people slam anything that is not affordable using that as a reason not to own. I am not rich so I am making payments on my plasma. It is a beautiful picture, and the recommended viewing distance for 42" is about 8-10 feet. Dvd's and hd programs are crystal. Standard def using composite or s-video sucks on widescreen. When you stretch 4/3 into 16:9 it ain't good. Don't let the plasma bashers change your mind. When it is hanging on your wall you will love every minute of it. It has changed my viewing habits.

I have been so caught up in the 7.1 theater mode that I forgot about 2 channel stereo. I was watching an Elton John concert on Bravo last night and I switched my HK AVR 7300 to surround off and 2 channel stereo to my RB 75's and it blew my socks off.

I removed a sony de 997 from my rb 35 system and installed a hk avr 7300. the klipsch's are kicking some butt now. I have rb 75's in the front but 35's at center, surrounds, and rear. this amp rocks. I was just brushing the surface on these speakers before, but they are hitting on all cylinders now.
