i found the followin after some research..

I don't think 600U and Pio 5070 has the option to use DVI input. The 9UK has the slot available to snap in a DVI-D blade. That would work good for PC and graphics. For Xbox I think you can either use VGA or Component. In that case any of the three plasmas will work good. Picture quality.... it's subjective between the Panny and Pio.

It really depends on what type of connection you want to use. Also, if you already have audio system and don't need built-in tuner then 9Uk might be an idea. The stand obviously need to be purchased if you're not going to hang it on the wall.

If the price is similar with these sets, which one LOOKS the best to you? Go to the store, take a DVD with you and play the SAME part of the DVD on all 3 sets. Demand that they provide you with the remotes so that you can tweak all 3 sets for the identical PQ. Check their HD channels. Check their SD channels.

Look. Listen. Rinse and repeat. Decide.

And make sure you get back here to let us know what you decided to get. And why not stick around, to help the other noobies in their own FP conundrum? Your experiences will provide valuable fodder for their own ventures.
