don`t know y,i connect my desktop with my pana 50U20k via HDMI.

oh yeah if you considering PLASMA and hookup to HTPC i would not recommended it... better go for LCD or LED

Plasma is made for Movies not HTPC.... can have Massive burn in

thanks for reply,mean if i only use desktop play movies on plasma will not get any burn in problems

Yeap should not be any issue unless you are not in full screen mode...

ok,very nice
same thing to HD media player on plasma?
no burn issue too ?

to prevent plasma permanent image retention, the key point is to avoid feeding static image to plasma for too long, make sure you enable screen saver in your source equipment

thanks for advice

So end of the day..

plasma = no ps3, no pc gaming, no HTPC
LCD = all but inferior PQ

so, Plasma is not suitable 4 other things beside watching tv/movies?

just treat Plasma as your old picture tube TV.... then you know why screen saver is important...

hey i wanna ask, if for gaming purpose only (PS3) is good to get plasma?

i notice those 50Hz thingy, when the camera pan, it feel slow. I wonder does any LCD or plasma within the 2k to 3k range comes with Full HD and faster than 50Hz?(100hz)

For games and action packed movies /sports channel Plasma will perform better but it depends on the games

Games with alot of fixed images like side control bar.. etc will caused burn in effect...

Try get a LCD with higher refresh rates... if you decided to hook up games/htpc

Agreed with Calvin on getting LCD with higher refresh rates. I hardly see any games with no fixed HUD or GUI or scoreboard.


So I'm getting an LCD instead.

but LCD are slow, for FPS and fast moving games.

any LCD in 2k to 3k with 100hz and full HD?

Get LED/LCD lah...
