    Why not just go with a projector instead of a plasma that big. I can only imagine how heavy it is and how much power it uses... but it's still very nice.

    I suppose, but I guess they wanted to have the biggest tv on the block. Props to them for having such a nice whole house setup, I can only dream of having something that nice one day.

    Isn't plasma the one you DONT use for videogaming, because the gauges, and heads up displays and such get burned into the screen?
    Epson 8350
    Elite Screens 120"
    Denon AVR-588
    Sony SS series surround
    PS3
    HTPC with 3.2ghz / Radeon 6870
