42" Plasma for $700
 

I know it's a generic brand, but it's a dam good price!

Sylvania's 6842PF is a 42-inch, widescreen (16:9) gas-plasma display compatible with progressive-scan and high-definition signals up to 1080i.

From amazon

Shitty ratio for plasma though. 1000:1 Contrast Ratio just like a LCD

Damm thats nice

they have a vizio 42" plasma for $799 on tigerdirect

I thought lcd was better nowadays?

its not bad for 700.

But you will see a drop in price of all of them after x-mas. Sony and toshiba I think it was built a plant that can double the production.

Plasma is much better for angle viewing. They both have their pro's and con's. I dig my plasma! I paid a hell of a lot more then $700 tho, like 5x that. Becareful, you do get what you pay for.

I think im gonna order a few

I know some plasmas get 10,000 contrast.

you get what you pay for, but the prices are going down fast

I needed one for the new office and maybe the playroom ... So i just picked up 2 of them .. it would only let me buy one so i had to use two different cards ... I'll let you know how they look when i get them

Same deal at "Big Lots"

www.biglots.com

It's a $100 more but still a pretty good deal.

I just ordered one also Mikey

Damn you're right...

Freakin' lying elf

did tech support for Sylvania a long time ago, probably the worst brand ever mad

With a resolution of 852 x 480 pixel resolution its not HD is it?

Yeah it's a low level brand, but if you're doing tech support aren't you getting calls about problems anyway?

I picked one up thanks

wow good price ;)

no but it will accept an hd signal and look pretty good

ouch 852 x 480 edtv, you guys were better off waiting until after xmas..

Hoping for some nice prices in January

lol for you guys that bought that tv you got ripped lol.... first off it's not even HDTV, 1000:1 contrast ratio for a plasma? LOL, 852 x 480 pixel resolution LOL

if you want a nice plasma tv with the lowest price available right now, like i said check out tigerdirect's vizio 42"

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...4&Sku=V25-4208

HDTV, 10,000:1 contrast ratio, over 231 BILLION colors

its edtv and a shitty brand plus shipping would be horrible. Im not sure if it has free shipping but if its not free your looking at like 100 bucks or more.

its 65 in shipping but free right now

wait for the next gen LCDS, I think sharp has them coming out in Feb/March that will fix the motion and banding problems. I think it's the D92 series.

lol, fuck those janky-ass tvs...

LCD?s with LED backlighting are nearly equivalent imo to plasma in terms of picture quality. They are far more expensive than Plasma though (especially at larger screen sizes) so you do have to take that into account. I'm still happy with my hdtv projection tv, I won't be changing TV's until SED Tv's come out in either late 2k7 or 2k8 (combining quality of a CRT screen with the thin form-factor of LCD screens).

come on man, it will look like shit... I guess if you compare it to a 10 year old analog tv it will be "good", but not compared to some other high-end HD tvs....

thats cheap as hell

prolly also hell quality - what if its broke, warranties on these generic items are horrible

i wouldn't even waste my time looking at the page for a yumcha no name plasma
save your cash and buy something a bit more decent

This is a true 1080 res or 720? I cant figure it out by the website, but if it is, for 800 who cares if its a refirb!

EDTV sucks big time.... I went with a 61 inch DLP TV with 1080p, better picture then most plasmas. Added a HD DVD player and DVD's are awsome.

not too bad for 700 :thumbsup

it definitely is not bad for 700, whether the picture is awesome or not it would be great to have in a guest bedroom where it doesn't really matter

gonna order one now

Plasmas are cool.

I bought 2 of them ... I need something for the home office ( i really never watch tv in there it will be a space saver) and i bought one for the playroom( I'm sure my 2 year old and 9 year old will love it. My son is getting the 32" that i bought a few months ago in his bedroom and I'm buying a new one for the new master bedroom I'm building upstairs .. I think for the price and free shipping they will workout just fine ..:thumbsup

come on man, obviously if you are comparing a $600 tv to a high end HDTV the latter will look better. Most people who buy something at this price are replacing a analog tv and will find it 100 times better.

Big plasmas and LCDs are coming down in price fast.
