EDTV=enhanced definition TV .... HDTV=high definition TV

EDTV=max resolution of 480p....HDTV=resolutions of 720p,1080i and 1080p

pesonally dont waste your money on a EDTV, UNLESS!! you plain on NOT watching HD channels and plain on watching SD channels only and lots of DVD's...also for the price of a EDTV plasma you can get a HDTV LCD or HDTV CRT...alot ofHDTV's have a "life" of 60,000 nothing special about it in the EDTV's...

EDTV's are not going to take much advantage by having a HDMI input, component carries all signals except 1080p if im not mistaking...HDMI is digital not analog and not only carries video signals but 5.1 audio signals all in one cable...EDTV's cannot display anything higher then 480p so its almost pointless to use HDMI on a EDTV, i dont see the sense "in my opinion"
