LG 50PB65 50" plasma and Onkyo TX-SR505 AV-Receiver comments from owners please

Has anyone any experience of this plasma and AV receiver as it's what i'm looking at purchasing for my improved home cinema.

I've currently got a 42" LG which is "o.k" but lacks connectivity.
My current 5.1 setup is a 6 year old sony affair too which only has 3 other inputs after i've plugged my sky+ in.

The only kit im looking at using is as follows:

SKY+ (or HD)
PS3
XBOX 360
Nintendo Wii

What also would be a "decent" budget 5.1 speaker setup to mate with the Onkyo?

Any comments are greatly appreciated as im just starting out really.

FOrspeakers i would look at Canton CD151, but the LG wouldnt be my choice, with an AMP like the Onkyo connectivity on the screen isnt a huge issue is it? in fact its better to have fewer connections.

Re: LG 50PB65 50" plasma and Onkyo Onkyo TX-SR505 AV-Receiver comments from owners pl

my post from a different tread.

yes I have now got this plasma I used to have a old lg 42" TV
and upgraded to the LG 50pb65 and let me tell you it looks crazy you will love the sleek design especially if you wall mount it as I have done . The picture is great blacks are black and not gray. whites are very good also. Sound is excellent miles ahead of my old 42”LG

the only drawbacks for future proofing is it has 2 hdmi ports they should have
put in 3 or more as i have a ps3 is using 1 port and my pc output is DVI to hdmi so i have no more hdmi ports. this could be resolved with a hdmi switch but thats guna mean another remote and another power cable to hide. (i have no visable cabes what so ever in my setup.)
the other future proofing drawback is it's NOT 1080p the 60" version of this tv however IS 1080p but that tv costs a hell of a lot more.

the lack of 1080p is not much of an issue to me but i probably will be for some. so the only real drawback (for me) is the hdmi port issue.

any other questions just let me know
