Hi, could elaborate on what's required to do this? Are you talking about the WiFi Adaptor or is it something else?

Too bad the largest panel tops out at 65". I'm waiting for a 70ish" plasma that costs ~10K or less.

I pay a little more, but the Runco plasmas look more organic and life like to me than Panny or the old Pioneers. I have the Runco XP 50HD and love it. I will jump over to 3D when there are more than 10 movies in true 3D.

Because of their processing power, I'd consider a Runco if my 111FD died. I doubt I'd be able to afford it, though. The one time I saw one in a showroom (2007) I wasn't impressed with the black levels. By now that must be improved.

The Panny VT30 Plasmas should, if the early descriptions are accurate, be a very close match in black levels to the Pioneer Elite Kuro.

It is a real shame that Pioneer got out of video with their fabulous Elite Kuro line, and now is getting back into video with LCD displays made by Sharp .

I am hoping to upgrade to a 65" VT30 when they are released in the next couple months.

I got a tentative okay from the wife.
