Hi everyone.
I've been thinking about getting a flatscreen, either LCD or Plasma for the last few months and I'm currently leaning towards the Panasonic PX70/PH9 plasma at the moment, either TV or panel I'm not sure at the mo.
I am also speccing up a nice PC to act as my HTPC and gaming rig, it will be Core Duo and Nvidia 8800GTS I think, in a tower case as aesthetics aren't too important and I want something I can have more than 1 x 5.25" drive in.
My questions are;
1) How good are plasmas for gaming, FPSs like Counterstrike for example, and
2) will it be a good panel for watching DVD and HD-DVD/Bluray via the HTPC, once the prices come down a bit for the drives of course!!
I will be buying the panel in about 4 months time when I move house so the current new out, high price models may be more affordable by then.
Thanks
