The JVC gets rave reviews, not a latest release model but some of the highest HTIB reviews I've seen for it's midlevel HTIB niche (http://reviews.cnet.com/home-theater-systems/jvc-th-c6/4505-6740_7-31392577.html?tag=prod.txt.1). I can get it NIB for great $. Other choice I'm looking at is Samsung HT-X70. What I want to know is does the HDMI capability of the Samsung tip the scales (JVC lacks this, S-video would be the connectivity). I really am leaning toward the JVC, yet I dont want to cheat myself if the HDMI is really such a value added feature...(can I really tell the difference between that and the S-video, I wonder?) I just bought a Panasonic plasma TH-50PX75U and wish to optimize the experience, yet perhaps only the most discerning eyes/ears would note any difference. IS the HMDI a "must have" to mate up w/ latest plasma HD models? Again, the JVC TH-C6 is just gushed over in reviews I've seen, but no HMDI. Thoughts appreciated

The highest your TV can accept is 720p of course the TVs scalar will up convert that to 768. Since you are limited to 768 HDMI is useless in terms of video. The only thing HDMI will give you is audio and video on the same output, that's it. You want to use the S-video on the JVC, the component is the best video output and all you need with your TV.

HDMI is the future. All new HD sources include HDMI outputs.
However - many people run HDMI straight to the TV and use TV speakers for casual TV watching. But you also run audio to the receiver and fire it up for serious movie watching.
