    I played poker on my new 50 inch Plasma yesterday and I have to say anyone due for a new TV, make sure there is a PC option, it was really an incredible investment..

    Posted this somewhere else but figured I'd post it again. 46" LED 1920x1080. It works.

    If you have a TV you can hook up your comp to give it a try but don't run out and by a TV for a monitor because you have so many better choices. IMO a TV is too big. I did just pick up a new monitor which I'm stoked about.

    This thing is tits. For the money you really can't beat it IMO. I've seen Dell's, HP's, and Apples and for the money this thing beats them.

    ummm...its gonna have burn in pretty soon if you don't break it in first before you start having "static" images. Just Google "Plasma burn in" before you ruin your new TV

    I played yesterday on a 40" Toshiba and it was alright, but I didn't get the full resolution from the TV. I was only using about 1/2 of the available space. I guess that's what you're talking about when you mentioned a PC setting on the TV?

    I also used a HDMI hookup FYI.
