This was 480 at Dell and Amazon a few weeks ago. Picked it up at Amazon to save on tax. Not a bad TV. Search AVSforums for D-Nice's settings. To get into the service menu, hold down the Volume - button on the TV itself and press info (on the remote) 3 times.

Wow, 600Hz!

#2, it's a plasma

plasmas are better than lcds. they just use a ton more power. and wont work in high altitude. youtube search for plasmas in high altitudes. they explode!

I would pay a little more to get a samsung.

Panny and Sammy are pretty much neck and neck for the most part. They do things well that the other does not so well. Its basically down to preference.

I prefer a low price sooo.

I have this TV and I love it. Its the best deal for the money ..

same lcds will cost you a lot more and any better plasma is also $150 more at least. so go for it

The TC-P42S1 (1020p resolution and the superior Neo PDP panel) has been going for about $200 more lately, bundled with a Panasonic Blu-Ray player. For me the price/quality tradeoff made that a better deal even without the bonus DVD player. Your mileage may vary.

I live at about 5800 feet and I love this TV. Got it at $570 a couple months ago. The high altitude thing is if you're in the mountains, I guess.

I was waiting for this deal to come back since the $480 deal, I ended up cashing in 20,000 amex points for a $200 Dell gift certificate, but by the time they sent it to me the deal was over. I ended up going with the TC46G10 instead with the free blu-ray and spent $1000 instead. Thanks Dell, you could not have offer this a week ago!!!!

Anyhow I got the TV I really wanted so I'm happy but this is probably the best bang for the buck TV out there. Don't forget 5% Bing cashback! It will at least cover most of the sales tax.

Black Friday = $450
