I am looking at plasmas right now but is my expectation even realistic, because the image I have seen so far is shit on normal signal.
well it's going to cost money to do what you want it to do. easiest way is to get a tv that will upconvert the signal to 1080p or 1080i
but you get used to the "crappy" image from normal cable, dvds look fine (at least to my eyes, when using component output from the dvd)
so the real question is how much do you want to spend?
