Great idea... the DVD is usually standard with most laptops these days. People like flying coast to coast with DVD's playing (in blatant attempt to make adjacent first class passengers envious...then battery runs out half way through movie (one hour bat life)).

For watching DVD's while traveling, I rip them to my laptop hard drive. The battery lasts much longer that way.

With regards to the plasma displays, I think they're extremely cool, but far out of my budget right now. The one thing I can't get past, however, is picture editing. I have yet to see a non-CRT display that can display pictures at a quality useful enough for professionally editing them. For accuracy, CRTs are still the winners.
