Which 50" Plasma ?Which 50" plasma provides the best picture, both with HD feed and SD feed?CheersDon

Hello all, I am sure this question has been asked before but I am really new to this high-def TV stuff. I want to buy a plasma TV [not LCD] and I am looking at Panasonic. My choice is between 37" and 42" inch. The 37" is not full HD but the 42" is. [My family are the ones telling me to buy such a TV ... and recommending plasma]. I intend to place it over a fireplace and the distance from wall to seat is about 9 feet [3 metres] ... Is 42 inch too big ?? Thanks James H. ends==

We are blessed in the Foot Tapper household to have 2 family members who are passionate about music (foot tapper + miss foot tapper), while 2 family members are into movies & all things visual (Mrs foot tapper + foot tapper junior). As is the way in the normal course of domestic diplomacy, Mrs FT spotted my passion for music at an early stage, so we have a lovely Linn/Naim/Proac system to eke the best out of our many and growing CDs & LPs. FT, being of the male gender, is naturally slow to...

I've been offered a good deal on a DVD5/AV2/175 to replace my n-Vi. Reading the manuals all seems pretty clear except for one thing: DVD5 multi channel.The DVD5 I am looking at has this option and the manual seems to indicate four connections between...
