    I still haven't decided on what to do, and now there are more solutions out there. my sister just got the same model RXV2700, and i have a feeling she'll be asking me what she should do too. Again, i really like what i see with the TV, but i'm not sure i'm convinced its the best choice. BTW...

    720p or 1080p for HTPC? Plasma or DLP?

    I don't have a HTPC set up, but i can tell you that i have a Hitachi Plasma and a Wii. the Hitachi is an ODD resolution 1080x1024. Dumb i know. Anyhow, reading text from the Wii on the web is rather annoying and i am sure it is because of that. so make sure what ever you get, you have Square...

    widescreen is hype

    I'm not interested in 16:10... i simply ment they could provide the same 16:9 video, but include just one band along the bottom for CC But i think you forgot part of the point that eltouriso was making... he wants a TV...anotherwords...bigger.
