Re: My wife bought the Gateway plasma last week...

Sorry to throw a wet rag, but that set is not true HD! It may be HD capable (meaning it can display an HD signal), but it has to convert a true HD signal to it's resolution (852x480). Note the 480 in the resolution, it should be 720p or 1080i for true HD. This translates to 1280x720 or 1920x1080 for real HD. You can see the Gateway is nowhere near HD resolutions and hence so cheap! I hope you realized this when you bought. It will be great for DVDs, but will not give you a true HD experience.

Also, any true HD signal has to be sent by either component (3 cables) or by DVI (or Firewire to a recording device).
