Are there any plasmas out there that still have a seperate media box? I have a pioneer 435 with the plasma mounted on the wall and like the conectivity conveniance of the seperate media box when swaping over cables, pluging in removable sources etc. Its due to be replaced and it seems that they all seem to be integrated now. Any ideas, thoughts?

The only thing out there with a media box, separate tuner, inputs, etc.... is the new Sharp LED set that has moved all of this electronics to the box to keep the set less than 2 inches thick.

From all reviews it sounds good, but at $11K for a 52" and $15k for a 65", it better be.

BLIMEY your'e not kidding. Is that it? Ithought some of the high end pioneers had a media box. Obviously not. I suppose the other way round it would be to have a seperate switch box witha various HDMI,component, scart ins/outs. Are theses readily available?

If you can find any, the Samsung wireless plasmas had them, the 5094 and 5894. I know a Best Buy in the area had them still last I went in, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend those plasmas.
