    50" Samsung Plasma TV[^] :cool: I ran a 2.5" PVC pipe through the wall to pull cables through, so it ended up being a nice clean install. ;)

      Very nice! Do you have the Xbox 360 to go along with it?

        Nice watch out for burn in, I can attest that burn in on a modern plasma is very much possible despite many people who don't own one repeating endlessly on the net that it's not. It came on mine from watching too much SD programming, now I have two brighter areas on the left and right side of the screen.

          Yeah, if i'm watching SD, i usually do it over the cable and not the antenna. Then i can set it to "full screen" mode. The SD over the air doesn't seem to let me do that, although I guess I can try the zoom < -- > mode...

            Yeah, on mine I have a satellite receiver which is hd so all the programming appears to be hd to the tv so it doesn't zoom automatically like it does when it recognizes an SD signal.

              I think you should invite all of the local CPians over. We could evaluate the installation and come up with alternatives. :D

                  I set the sidebars to black, it should be selectable in the menus. Despite burn in I'm still glad I went for plasma not LCD - the colour linearity is much better as is the contrast ratio. Elaine :rose:

                      Really? That's the exact problem I have, the sidebars are black instead of gray or white, so they didn't burn in as much as the main SD screen area which causes them to look brighter when viewing an HD program.
