What's the native on that thing? Do you have the contrast ratio? Looks like a good buy.

Nice looking rig for the money. I heard recently that someone who knows someone who knows the person who told me, didn't buy a plsma but got a rear projection instesd. The reason...Her son told her that animal parts are used in the making of the units, or something to that effect? Anyone....

"Resolution: 1024x768 pixels"

I'm not 100% sure how Plasma TVs resolve pixels, but that doesn't sound like HDTV to me... sounds much more like EDTV. Big difference.
