The thing is... Plasma TVs should be transported upright, never sideways. You do NOT want to put stress on that large 42" plasma glass and subject it to all the bumps of a road. If you accidentally crack that glass, no 5-year warranty is going to cover it.

Better to pay a bit extra and get the seller to transport to your house. If they break it on the way, you can ask them for a new one. You break it yourself... cry.gif

I am using one as PC Monitor but its for HTPC , to watch videos , to view photos and to listen to songs. Depending if you're going to get a full HD TV or HD Ready TV Set. I am using HD Ready TV set and so far so good. I can game at 720p or at 1080i (meaning that I can choose resolution in between 720p to 1080i) as opposed to connecting my PC using VGA !
I am using 30Hz (60 ?) regular HD Ready LCD (Panny) and I don't get any lags when I am playing games such as MMORPG and RPGs. For me it looks fine , maybe my eyes aren't sharp enough to see
I wonder why you didn't use HDMI instead ! S-video is analogue , you should be using DVI to HDMI for pure digital to digital connectivity

I always KNEW S-video is analogue. My laptop don't have HDMi connectivity thats y i use the only connection available.
if I got HDMi y would i use the analogue one? brows.gif

Dont tell me your laptop doesn't have DVI. Even my 5 year old iBook has DVI Out , and it can connect to my HDTV just fine (With DVI TO HDMI Adapter) and I'm set. I am sure your laptop has DVI Out or just use VGA. IMO , at least its not going to overscan the display and you'll get pixel perfect on VGA (eventho its analogue)

If you ask me , skip S-Video , and go for VGA Straight or just use DVI TO HDMI Adapter , that would do the trick. DVI is digital and HDMI is digital. Its just that you wouldn't be carrying HD Sound via DVI , just the image only. For sound , i am sure you can use analogue

Then notice the umphness of the video , especially when you can use softwares to upscale the quality (not soo good0 but it will give you a good image)

Not only that you might accidentally crack the panel, but those tiny cells are filled with gases. If you lay it down, it is going to affect the cells.

I seen it with my own eyes. One plasma transported like sleeping beauty, and the plasma remained as sleeping beauty, just couldn't turn it on. Have to send back to the manufacturer, luckily they still can do something about it.

DON'T EVER TRANSPORT YOUR PLASMA SIDEWAYS

It depends on the car.

I transported my 42-inch plasma laying down on the back of the rear seat. So far it is still kicking alive.

I don't know if there is any difference in the packaging for the PY800 vs PV80/8. The styroforms used to hold the PY800 are definitely strong enough to sustain a bit of bump and shake on the way home. Maybe the PY800 is fully imported so it is better protected from vibration!

Funny , judging from your specifications , the graphics card supports HDMI anyway. I guess Dell didn't enable it. That's sad. Go get a VGA Cable and make full use of progressive scan. Anyhow , do let us know the quality once you have swapped the cable

Yep. Thanks prasys for the recommendation. notworthy.gif I'm definitely looking for a VGA cable. biggrin.gif
I agree, Dell is weird.They offer good gaming graphic cards and even got options for BLu Ray Reader/Burner, but no DVI or HDMi connection. blink.gif Bummer...

Sure if you're in the KL Area you can get it easily. Go to any PC Computer store and you can get VGA Male to VGA Male cable. You got a Full HD Display and you're using s-video thats like having a Ferrari and using a R92 , good car with cheap maintenance (can't get the equivalent term - its something like that). Plus your Graphics card supports HD as well. Gaming and watching HD Movies would be much more better

Do share your experience once you have made the switch.

Yeah better to get the seller to deliver the heavy plasma to ur home. Normally they should not charge for extra transport fee coz they already earned ur margin in the tv set.

I noticed my plasma was transported upright position to my house. This should be the correct way to move it, not lay side way. Be warned.
