DVI or VGA. Theoretically DVI should be better, but I've heard they're <br>
indistinguishable in practice. I'm using VGA myself. HDMI has no<br>

I don't think anyone knows exactly what is going to happen in that<br>
department yet. There will be some sort of DRM though, so I wouldn't <br>
count on being able to play them via Linux. At least not until someone<br>
cracks the system a la DeCSS.</span></font></p>

Please, everyone, dont get me wrong. I am all for some form of protection for
the DVD CD's etc. But what i have read and what is posted here the current DRM
is just too tight. <br>

No, DVI (or VGA) are going to be better than component, composite, or s-video. </span></font></p>

you do use DVI or VGA, one thing to keep an eye out for is what <br>
resolutions a plasma (may also apply to an LCD) will accept. I've seen<br>
some plasmas that will only take "standard" type signals such as<br>
640x480, 800x600, 1024x768. Low spec plasma are usually 852x480 pixels <br>
which doesn't fit well with those resolutions.</span></font></p>

Main thing is I don't wanna be stuck in the same position I am in now. I have a
68cm Sony TV. but Myth looks crap on it Because it only has the Red, White
Yellow connectors.<br>

If I buy this then I don't wanna make the same mistake. <br>
