So now, which one to choose..... This one (the "TH-42PZ85U" (Shown On Top), which is a full 1080p set), which is a "SLIGHTLY" better set for roughly the same price as a 720p model which I'll probably pay for at retail (See Below)?? Price: $1,600.00.

Or if you prefer doing the "piece meal" approach, do you think I can do just as well with a Panasonic TH-37PH10UK (the TH-37PH9UK is shown at the left though)??? And at 37", it's the ideal size for my bedroom too. All I have to do is exchange the "S-Video" module for an HDMI one, and then add an external Samsung HDTV Tuner. Price: Less Than $1,000.00 (Monitor Only).

This is going to be the Tuner Component for the Panasonic Plasma Monitor. The other two Panasonic Plasma TV's shown on my list already have Tuners built into them. So, that will eliviate the need for this one. Price: $200.00.

I've been using this player since 2005. Nice picture and nice sound for the money. I have been using it with a 2000 Panasonic "CT-27SF37" Direct-View Set (TOL 27" Set Of That Year) with excellent results. I see no reason to expect anything less when the new plasma arrives. Price: $700.00 (In 2005). P.S.: The Denon may eventually be replaced by a Blu-Ray Player in the next year or two.

This is the "optional" remote control that goes with the Sony Playstation 3. I am not a gamer, so this is not what the Sony Playstation 3 will be used for. It will only be used as a Blu-Ray Disc Player in my system. Price: $20.00

I own an Apple iPod, and I want to make my iPod a part of my home theater system as well. It's going to serve as the music source of my home theater system. Called the "Bridge II", it comes with the upcoming Harman/Kardon AVR-354 Audio/Video Receiver at no extra cost (see below).

This is THE ONE to own. What's not to like.... There's HDMI Connectivity.... a Faroudja DCDi Processor that upconverts to 1080p.... 75 "High-Current" Watts Per Channel.... the latest codecs.... and a Bridge II Dock for my iPod.... Oh, did I mention that even the OSD is in high definition??? All-In-All, a "VERY" tasty package if I don't say so myself. Price: $900.00 (worth EVERY penny).

I have a small bedroom, and I don't want to be confined to listening to headphones all the time (I live in an upstairs apartment above someone else), and I don't want to have speakers scattered all over my bedroom either. This seems to be the most logical solution. 5.1 Channel Capability in One Box (just add a Subwoofer). Price: $900.00 to about $1,100.00 (depending on size).

I am using these now.... These "cans" are quite good. They provide a natural sounding top-end, a clear and neutral midrange with a deep, tight and well defined bass response. And comfortable to wear for long movie and listening sessions too. And the cord can be easily replaced also. What more can you ask for..... for $300.00??? Price: $300.00 (In 2000).

This cable is going to connect the "center-channel" section of the Polk Audio "SurroundBar" to the Harman/Kardon AVR-354 Audio/Video Receiver. Price: About $70.00.

I want to add a Universal Remote to my system as well, and unlike my previous Home Theater (which has different remotes for different components), I would like to add more of a "one-stop" solution to my next system, and this one may be it. Price: Around $250.00 (Max).
