[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 19054"] [b]On plasma, DVI and HTPC[/b] Ok, you need to post a bit more info.... However, I have been using a plasma with my HTPC for about three years. In fact, I am on my second plasma (I loved the first one so much). I have played countless hours of video games on my plasma, and NEVER had a burn in problem (static images of health bars, etc.). Modern plasma's do not suffer burn in problems like they used to. Anyway, I have tried a lot of connection options, and I say vga. yeah, that is right, vga connector. I had too many issues getting DVI to work....lots of issues on setting the resolution correctly. VGA, works like a champ. Until they get a video card with HDMI out, I say VGA. (yes, I know you can get a DVI to HDMI connector....but that is only a physical connector, the video card will still not be sending out the additional information that HDMI can use). While I love my plasma (50" panny), I have to admit that the 46" lcd looks awesome. It is expensive, but hey, if you are burning money.... best would be to take your notebook to the store, and plug in and see which you like better. best of luck, Dpak 50" panny 500cx plasma, medial portal 1.3 .
