Why would you be crazy? Perhaps you're crazy for limiting yourself to 51". lol
And HDMI shouldn't be any problem for carrying a 3D signal assuming your video card supports it (I'm not real sure how to make it work with my Radeon 6950 for example, though I wish I knew; need to do some research I guess).
As long as you're playing full-screen games on it, that don't have really significant huds, and as long as you're watching full screen videos, you should be ok. But you don't want to be using your 51 inch plasma for web surfing and stuff like that, because the IR (image retention), can be quite noticeable after awhile.
I have a Samsung PN50C680 which is a 1080p 50 inch plasma that is 3D with hdmi 1.4. I've used my PC with it, and I enjoy the games on it, they look very good running at a true 1080p resolution and locked at 60 frames. I haven't really screwed around with the 3D yet. (I play 3D games via the PS3 sometimes)
I've watched some videos and stuff, but I don't like to have the PC onscreen for very long at all unless I'm going to be using the full screen, and try to limit huds when it's possible to limit huds.
Just plug it in. Seriously. I've got a 50" Panny G10 and all I did was plug the hdmi cable into the card and the tv and it was instantly recognized as a second monitor. My problem was cable length. I bought a 75' cable and plugged it in and tested and it worked. After I spent an hour running the cable it must have got pinched or something somewhere and I couldn't get a signal. I just gave up.

This is true. But besides that, you're currently limited to 1080p24 (per eye) or 720p60 so for some games that can seem sort of choppy, so if you're anything like me, the 3D experience will sort of wear off for PC gaming and it's not really worth it. It does look great, but for 3D gaming on the PC I think we'll need to wait for DisplayPort to be more common before the experience will be optimal.
Follow the e-manual on how to set up PC mode with the tv. Either of the HDMI inputs should work; I don't believe they are isolating one particular input any longer. Once set up you should get a pretty damn good looking image. Samsung tvs make pretty good pc monitors. Sure they're not as high a resolution as a 24 or higher pc monitor but eh the size makes up for it. I'm glad I went with my plasma as a monitor and can't go back, especially since I do heavy HTPC.
Why the confused face? If you sit a certain distance back the viewing angles aren't that different. Plus if you use your computer primarily for games or as an HTPC it's a perfect choice.
Call me crazier! Im building a high-end gaming rig for battlefield 3. Im building to be able to connect to not 1 Panny VT30 55in, but 3 VT30s!!! Surround vision baby, possible in 3d also! Here is something similar. Check out similar setup. Prepare to have your freakin socks blown off! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYbNG37g6U0
Three 55 inch Pannys side by side running in 3d would be 165inches of 3d heaven. I don't know how many of ya'll have tried the surround vision on triple screen, but it really gives u a feeling that the gaming world is around you.

I use a 60" Pioneer Kuro Plasma for gaming and freaking love it. Unbelievable clarity and quality, zero lag, amazing experience every time I game.
