Probably should have done my research first, but couldn’t wait to finally get an HD TV, for which I picked up a Samsung HL67A750. Only currently have a Motorolo DVR (from Comcast) and XBox360 hooked up, using component connectors for each.

Not sure if I’ll look into a receiver or a HTPC next, so will start a bit of research on each and see where it goes.
