Does anyone have a recommendation on using either Compnent Cable or the DVI/HDMI connection for the PanCT30WX54? I have read about people having problems with the DVI/HDMI cable and understand the picture may not be any better than with component cable?
I get HDTV through Cablevision (Digital IO) and have a Scientific Atlanta 4200HD set top box. Thanks for any responses.

I'm about to receive a DVI-HDMI cable this week for my HTPC. I'll let you know. I'm already impressed with the S-video compared to composite. We'll see.

If you haven't already, check out the FAQ "DVI/HDMI Information".

57U - thanks for the tip.
FactorX - I look forward to seeing what you think. I know that the HDMI vs. Component Cable PQ is supposed to vary by set but I am intersted to see how it does on a Panasonic CRT

OK, I got DVI-HDMI on my HTPC. Looks very good, when I can get the resolution right. I'm experimenting with different resolutions in PowerStrip. Trying to find the right combo to be useful and eliminate overscan. At 960 x 540, it looks great. But too much overscan.
