I don't know about that. This will beat the Sony for picture quality. Panasonic TVs have better reliability than Sony also.

This is a way better deal than a 46" Bravia for $900. Not even close.

Is burn in still a huge issue with the newer generation Plasmas?

#6, no. Not only isn't it an issue, but good plasmas have integrated features to prevent it, such as Panasonic's pixel orbiter.

only 2 more months til black friday. i say any tv deal right now isnt worth it. but it's a pretty good deal. i'm assuming for the price though that it's a 60hz tv?

#8, it's plasma and it has a 600hz sub-field, not that it means much. Plasmas are great for watching sports and action films and don't suffer the same ghosting you see in many LCDs. This TV will blow away a 60hz LCD TV that costs hundreds more.

Ugh...enough with the black friday nonsense. Retailers are doing anything and everything to get people to buy TODAY.

I'll pay $50 dollars more for something so I dont have to wait in a BF line. Just not worth the time.

Add to that the fact that they might run out of them before you even get one.
