anything without pants

I've got a 360 hooked up to a Samsung HL 61A750 and an Onkyo TX SR 606 running Energy take 5.1 satellites and matching sub. I believe Samsung discontinued their LED DLP line which is a shame because I still find myself continually blown away by the picture. But if you're going to go with flat panel I'm a big fan of Panasonic's plasma sets. They're reasonably priced especially for the quality. One of my buddies has his 360 hooked up to one of their 720p sets and it looks great.

As for audio, I'm pretty happy with the Onkyo. For the money it does everything it should, it just doesn't blow me away like the tv does. That being said, I think 5.1 surround or better is a necessity for games today. The couldn't imagine playing games like Dead Space or Bioshock without the added elements of surround sound.

RE: Orange Box. I was having the same issue with it. It would freeze during HL2 but not on portal. On a whim I tried installing it to the hard drive and that seemed to fix the problem.

Your 1080p dreams don't matter on TV's smaller than 60 inches, the human eye can't tell the difference below that size. This is a fantastic deal. Go buy it already. And yes I'd personally go with the plasma, better motion, color and black levels in general.
