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"

Well I have to disagree with you here. I bought the Panny ED 42 from Costco and love it. In fact I was in there today and it was sitting next to the HD Philips and was blowing it away.
Yes, it does have less resolution, and no it isn't HD. But to say there is no point watching HD on an ED set is ridiculous. I spend the majority of my time watching HD programing, and it looks wonderful on this set.
Oh and your point about HDMI, I use it and prefer it to component. I wasn't sold at all on HDMI, bought a cable and tried them side by side. HDMI looked much better, so I don't really know what you're getting at.
Bottom line is, if you like the picture, who cares. Less pixels to go dead....
