Panasonic TH-42PWD8UK 42-Inch Plasma EDTV
Forget about HD... with this, you'll never know the difference
This is our first plasma/flat screen tv.  It's a big move up from our 27\\" tube.  We have a basic set up... Tivo hooked up via s-video and a progressive scan DVD via component video.  This product is a display only.  It doesn't have a built in tv tuner and so we use our Tivo for that.  The picture quality of the Tivo on this display is marginal, but still better than what we used to have... and from 12'-15' back, you probably won't notice the difference from an HD display.  The DVD output, on the other hand, is excellent.  The detail, color, and realism is amazing.  Save yourself up to $1000 and go with the EDTV... I think it's just as good as HD for most people.
