Panasonic TC-P42X1 Great 42" plasma

I am not a television expert by an means except for having watched it too much for too many years. That being said, this TV has a great picture, more connections than you could ask for and super sound. (Point of fact: it replaced a 32" conventional tv that was 10 years old.) Right now, I am watching the NCAA tourney and I can tell you which players are sweating and how much. I got this at Sears for $899 but the next day, I noticed that HHGreg had it for $100 cheaper. Sears matched the price and knocked of another $10. I chose this set above all the others because of the three years' interest free financing (cost under $25/month). They all seemed the same (LCD/plasma) to me and all of the pictures were great. I was able to take it home in a car. (Sears also had a free install deal on this so if it were wall mounted, that would have been a deal. However, it's on a stand so set up was no problem. Note: install does not equal delivery they were not going to deliver it for free.)

I never buy anything when it is new, I'm always the one who buys the lawnmower that you brought back to Home Depot. In this case, buying new was a great idea. You will not be disappointed with this set. Some reviews I have read say the remote is skimpy. True; you will probably use the cable/dish one anyway or buy a replacement. The picture is why you bought the set anyway.

Warranty: Sears wanted to sell me a 3 year for $300. I was able to locate a place on line that sells them for $150 for 5 years.

Long winded but in a nutshell, if you are looking for a great deal on a great tv, this will fit the bill quite nicely and deserves a look.
