I don't think many of us have got Plasma TV's yet so consider yourself one of the pioneers and I am sure plenty of our members will be interested in how you get on with this issue.
This is probably the blind leading the blind but.... if you could provide us with some details of your pictures - dimensions, megapixels and format eg JPG, BMP etc. Then provide us with details of the settings you used to create your HD slideshow I am sure that even if I cannot offer further help, someone here will.

I'm sure that you are doing something wrong but what exactly is anybodies guess since we don't know what it is exactly that you did and what equipment, program, settings you used to do it with.
One more thing, posting in all capital letters is considered shouting, but that wasn't your intention I'm sure.
rayzer,
Sometimes when you load the pictures into the slideshow creation screen it's easy to load the thumbnails of the pictures instead of the actual pictures themselves. You need to check the filesizes to make sure your loading the actual picture and not it's thumbnail reference.
That would explain not looking good.
If you load the pictures into the create slideshow and return back to the timeline and choose the 1 hour dvd mode which is the default project settings as your project settings the video should come out very good.
It doesn't matter that you have a HD plasma. They should look GOOD.
Slideshows on a 60" LCD projection or plasma should look great.
Make sure your creating a dvd (not a vcd or svcd)and using the 1 hour video mode which is HQ mode. Actually the VCD's and SVCD's look nice too.
Make sure under the "Preferences" Settings (F6), to set the project to "BEST" for sampling, that does make a difference.
It sounds to me like your pulling in the thumbnails and not the full pictures which is easy to do when your only looking at the small icon in the slideshow creation screen.
Surely the quality of your original photos (jpg, tif etc) must have some bearing on the final view quality - how big are you images, and what format are they in??
