A new receiver....  If just using the composite in's for gaming system I'd just go to Rat Shack.....   And why do you own a VCR????    :>)

Stick to Panasonic, Pioneer, Fujitsu for plasmas.  What would your viewing distance be??  The Samsung DLP's are nice too.  I love my Mits 55" CRT, but will be putting a HD2+ DLP projector in the basement within the next couple months.  106" screen... yeah baby!

the viewing distance wont be too big as i live alone.  ill know for sure when i see the apartment im looking at next week.  the apartment is 1000 sq ft with a den, so who knows what that translates to
