TH-50PH10UK vs. TH-50PX77U (and help on total AV set-up)

I have been lurking for months trying to soak up the collective wisdom on display here. I am doing a brand new home theatre and am desperately trying to make an educated buy. I am going to buy a plasma this week and have tentatively decided I will do either the TH-50PH10UK or the TH-50PX77U. I am going to wallmount it, so I won't need the stand. I plan on subscribing to a satellite service for HD programming. I guess I would need to do a hdmi slot on the pro-series, too. I also am going to buy an audio set-up, also. I am clueless as to what I should go with there. I really would only like to spend $1,000 to $1,500 on the audio side which would include speakers and receiver (will probably buy the dvd player later once the "hd war" is settled. Again, really clueless on exactly what kind of cables i should be using on the audio side. And yes, I realize this is a plasma thread, but I figured that the experts here could lead me toward not only the best tv between the two, but also what would be a good complimentary audio set-up. Once I get some good suggestions on the audio side, I'll start a thread there to get some finer tuning on that aspect. Please feel free to suggest where to buy, also. Someone said Fry's was good, but they aren't carrying either of these models currently. Simply private message me if you don't want it up for the masses to see. Thanks. Trying to move outta noob-ville!

Thanks alot for the response. That will get me started on the audio side as to where to do a little more research. I really am not familiar with most of the sites you spoke of, but I'll give it a shot. Anyway, how is the anti-glare screen. I have heard both good and bad. I have windows to the left and right of where the tv will be mounted, but nothing really in front of the tv. I don't know if I really need the anti-glare screen. But, as long as it doesn't affect the pq, it can't hurt to have it for later on down the road.

Any idea if these dealers will come down off their prices at all? Any experience with that? I want to get the best deal possible because having to do the entire home theatre at once is going to hurt the wallet for a while. I didn't know if maybe their was an online store that would discount the 77u much. I figured that the 10uk would probably have less of an incentive for a store to slash prices since it is so new. But, I could be wrong. That would be one of those good kinds of wrong. Suggestions?

I've been leaning toward the pro-series. My only question is being such a complete and utter noob on this stuff, will I even be able to adjust the 10uk easily enough to warrant going with it over the 77u? Or for that matter, should i just stick with the 75u for less money? I really don't know. What is it about the 10uk that makes it about the same as the 77u even though it doesn't come with some consumer accessories? I'm pretty torn actually. That's why I'm kind of waiting for someone to push me over the edge. I'm sure I would be satisfied either way, but it would make me feel a lot better if I thought I was making an educated decision. Once again, thanks for your help.

Wow-
Those pictures look great. Of course, I have no idea what all those cards are that he's talking about. But, I'm not running mine on a laptop anyway. Does anybody know if there is going to be a big enough improvement in picture quality to justify spending more for the pro-series (w/ hdmi board)? what about affected picture quality with the anti-glare screen? Oh yeah, Cree, thanks for the info. Every little bit helps.
