It's also a videogame console.

Vigo:
Video games? Pshaw! That's one of those unwanted features.

That's included in the list of features I don't want enough to pay extra.  I haven't turned on a game console for more than ten minutes in 2012.

I'm looking at a plasma that doesn't have a PC input. What's the issue with DVI to HDMI?

DVI to HDMI doesn't pass audio, which can be a non-issue in many many situations. But HDMI is a standard port on PCs now, and has been for some time. If you don't have it, it can be had on very inexpensive, low-end graphics cards.

I was looking at that. The PC is a 'desktop', meaning low form factor. I saw cards on ebay that were DVI, as well as having an HDMI port. I was sort of looking for PNP when I got the display home (I'm going to look at it tomorrow night). VGA>VGA to DVI adapter>DVI to HDMI cable>TV wouldn't work?

I put the Epson 485wi projectors in classrooms at work quite often recently.  They may only be 1280x800 but they are very bright and have amazing picture.  Instant on/off with no warm up or cool down.  We actually install them to a light switch.  They make a 100ish inch screen from about 12" inches back (and can go larger within reason).  These are interactive Smartboards as well that two people can draw. 

I think they cost us around $2000 each, but they would make a nice home theater projector and eliminate most complaints people have about projectors.  Plus Epson bulbs are cheap and get a lot of hours on the bulb.
