Plasma. Yes, it sounds like the something you'd find in a hospital, but it's also the coolest television innovation since Technicolor. Pioneer's PRO-800HD is but one stellar example of how good this pricey technology can be. The display is brilliant, with over 16 million colors and a resolution that will make your computer screen jealous. Best of all, the PRO-800HD is only 4.25-in. thick, so you can you can hang it on the wall like a priceless oil painting. Couple this set with Polk's lauded DS7200 audio system and your living room will have better seats than any stadium.
And should high definition television (HDTV) become a reality in your home, the PRO-800HD can handle it regardless of whether you get it via satellite, cable, or a digital tuner connected to a TV antenna.
As for the sound, the DS7200 was designed for people who want a fine system but don't like shopping for separate components and speakers. In the box, you get a sleek receiver, five wall-mount ready satellite speakers and a subwoofer that houses the system's 350-watt amplifier. To make the most of the Dolby Digital and DTS converters, find out if your cable or satellite service provider broadcasts digital surround sound. And if you're going for the whole home-theater experience, you can get Polk's matching CD/DVD player and universal remote for $300 more.
