To me, graphics are everything. I want a new monitor, 1). It has to be bigger than my present one, of 20", 2). It has to show even better (I have a 6 yr old Viewsonic Professional series P-810). It has to be either a CRT, or a plasma screen, and I want my movies that I have burned to my external hard drives (over 400 movies, 7 Seagate 400gb harddrives), to play at their absolute best. Since new monitors cost so much anyway, I figure I might as well get a plasma screen, jeez, you can get a 52" plasma screen from Sony, for only $2200!!
And from a set-top dvd player, the movies look absolutely 3-d! But nobody in town, not Microcenter, not Comp-Usa, nowhere in the Galleria, (I live in Houston, Tx) has a really good one hooked up to a computer, so that you can see the possibilities there. Only one store had a cheap Hitachi hooked up, and hell that cheap thing didn't even impress on a set-top dvd!? Anybody in here got any experience?

Jump to PostI haven't used it on a computer, but my favorite Korean restaurant just bought a Sanyo 42" plasma. Don't know the model, but that thing looks awesome on DVD and on HD channels pulled from satellite.
Jump to PostPlasma screens aren't really the best as computer monitors. Firstly, because of the burn-in issue. Secondly, because you can get a higher resolution if you go LCD. Plasmas are better for TVs, but LCDs are better for PCs, IMHO.
