I have been reading the forums about 42" plasmas and it appears the panny is the way to go. I am planning on purchasing the TH_P42PWD8UK and would like to know if it would provide a good resoultion for my HTPC. I will be doing web browsing, etc. I don't care if it isn't HDTV, I am eventually going to buy an SED display. I just wasn this to last about 2-3 years. The old Pioneer CRT RP tv isn't cutting it anymore.
I plan on hanging it on the wall. Is there any good mount recommendations?
If I don't hang it on the wall, I may make a custon cabinet or purchase a nice stand.
I likethe style of the bello stands, but I am looking for a cabinet/cradenza, ultra contemporary stand, any recommedations?
Do I need any additional video cards for this monitor?
I plan on ordering through Visual Apex.
