My dad was at the airport today and he saw an ad in USA Today for a Panasonic th-50px60u 50 inch HDtv. 720p, HDMI, etc (http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-TH-50PX60U-50-Plasma-HDTV/dp/B000F4CTUK)

It's on sale for 2000 at CompUSA (regularly 2800).
Is this a good deal/TV? Yay or nay?

    Thats a very good tv. Its not an amazing deal or anything. Most places online sell it for $200-300 more but at some places you can get it for 1600-1700

    I'd personally stay away from plasma screens. They look nice, but are prone to burn in. Which is bad if you want to play games on it.

    Get a DLP, LCD or LCD projection for less money. More durable, though you have to buy new bulbs periodically for DLPs and LCD projection.

    I've had mine for about a year and a half, and haven't had to replace the bulb yet, though.

    ya plasma = burn in and shorter life expectancy

    also, try for 1080p

    They are more prone but it doesn't happen to every set. Get a protection plan and you won't have to worry about it. This is a good TV especially for the size, and if the price is to your fancy go for it.
