Re: Recommendations for Plasma TV...

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

Anyone know if the Pioneer 503 has the same problems?

At the moment I'm limited to Cat5e/Kat5 units where the plasma will 
go. What's the best way of getting the best picture i.e. is there an 
RGB version of the Kat5 or is there another way of doing it (at RGB 
quality rather than converting down to S Video)?

Alternatively, I could take the floorboards up again to route RGB 
cables to my node zero - not an option to be taken lightly though :(
