I've scanned the threads (really I have), and can't seem to find a single-stop answer to my questions.
With only standard cable (not HD or even digital) and a DVD for input, plus all I've been reading about the Panasonic EDs, I've pretty much decided on an ED plasma. And from what I've read, a current favorite seems to be the 42PWD7UY.
But it looks like I would have to buy several add-ons in order to use it like a "regular" TV: a stand, stereo speakers, a tuner, and ???. Whereas the consumer model comes with most/all of the above. Is this correct?
Will a WD7UY take a component feed from my DVD, or would I need an accessory card?
Would it be worthwhile to buy an HDMI interface card for DVD?
It also looks like the commercial and consumer versions might use different displays, as the brightness specs differ. If this is true, is the picture on the commercial model enough better to justify buying it piecemeal?
I've ever seen the commercial model live, and from what I've read, it will be next to impossible to A-B them, as most stores don't carry both.
To cut to the chase, I would appreciate any answers to the above questions, as well as your opinions, subjective or otherwise.
