I always loved Panasonic for every type of electronics. Sony for certain tvs and have recently opened my eyes to the world of Pioneer, something I've actually ignored for some time mainly because Panasonic does everything so well. I won't touch any other brand.

I was waiting for you to grace us with your posting....
Hows the PQ on it? For SD/HD TV and of course how is it for gaming
I hope it has a good refresh rate...
Still messing around with it after having some slaves err friends, put it together. The design is really nice, PQ is better than I expected for factory settings. Now I have to do research to find the best setting/s.

Sorry for the stock image but I don't have a camera at hand nor do I feel the desire to unhook my cables to take a picture.
Got these in the mail today:
Had some problems with it at first.
I bought the cable mainly for my PS2. As you might know, PS2 games don't look so hot on running through composite on a 720p HDtv so I decided it was time to finally get some component cables.
After having everything plugged in correctly and switching on the PS2 I didn't get any image on my TV. Needless to say I was shocked and I kinda felt ripped off :lol
However after fiddling around with the cable for way too long I suddenly got the crazy idea to hook my scart cable back up again and check my PS2's option menu. Turns out that I had to change the setting on the PS2 from R/G/B to Component... heck I had even forgotten that the PS2 had an option menu :lol
After that It was all smooth sailing.
I'm really impressed by how big the improvement is. The difference between my PS2 games running through Composite and Component seems like Night and Day. I tried out a couple of games and was very pleased. Some of them look flatout gorgeous running through component.
Some of the games that I tested:
- Shadow of the Colossus
SotC looks nothing short of amazing running in 16:9 + progressive scan. I immediately got hooked again and beat a couple of Colossi on hard.
-Okami
This game looks more beautiful than ever running though component. The colours are amazingly vibrant. This is one of those games, just like The Wind Waker, that will stand the test of time. It kind of sucks that the game doesn't support widescreen but for some reason the stretching wasn't bothersome at all.
Very pleased with this purchase

How much was that cable? I bought the Sony branded component cable for $19.99 USD. (not sure about your location.) Pretty cheap for a Sony branded product.

Is there any noticable drop in quality using these cables? I'm always finding myself desperately running low on inputs on various TVs in my home...
Basically... what do these look like with 360 and PS3 running in 720/1080p? If you don't know....... anyone?

I suggest you try to google "XCM Multi-Console cable " to find an online store that sells it.

"XCM Multi Console component cable V.2 (Xbox 360, PS3/PS2, Wii)"
Nice. I might get this for my Wii, analogue a/b testing on the PS3 and as a replacement/back-up for my sometimes PS2 component set. The only thing that bothers me is the apparent low quality of the wires. The thin shielding is just one of the things that would worry me about the audio & IQ.

Yeah. Picked it up last night, but I haven't played it yet. I'll probably try it out tonight with my classic controller and wiimote.

Like everyone has already said, it's the Brain Age 2 stylus set. I just registered the game, took the survey, and they mailed me the set.
The Metal Gear book is called: Metal Gear Solid 2 The Making. You can think of the book as well, the book version of The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 (the making-of MGS2 'game' that came out just before MGS2: Substance came out). It's a pretty limited book, but I managed to get it from someone in fantastic condition.
