I am looking at getting the TH-42PD25U/P. Mainly for the price and all of the features it has. It has good reviews but there are a fewquestions that I still have after a lot of research.
1. If this TV is hooked up to just a regular digital cable box will the picture be good, or will a HDTV box make a difference??
2. I have a HTIB the sony DAV-FC7 and it has a optical digital audio in and this TV has a ODA out, will I be able to hook up this tv to the HTIB and have surround sound when I'm just watching tv??
Any help would be appreciated, I would also appreciate some reveiws from people who own this model plasma...
