Oh yeah, the HDMI cable is great, but you can get them on-line under $12 instead of the $60 plus the chain stores want. Also, Plasma has a pretty picture, but it is at it's best the first day and then very slowly begins to darken over the years -- If you lose a pixel, it can't be repaired, and the factory says that 5 or 6 of those dark spots are not unusual-- blending pixels like some better sets do to cover these spots and to try to hide burn lines from unmoving images like stock tickers and games, or black bars on the side of regular pictures, are a little help -- also, Plasma uses more electricity both when on and off -- I'd rather have DLP then Plasma, but feel that LCD is better all around -- Nuf said --
