a polaroid?
i think i'd go with the vizio instead.

That's a weird looking camera.

A lot of reviews on the web say if u want 42" ...u should go plasma

Do you have to shake this to get the picture to come out faster?

you can get a 42" LCD with tuners for less and no rebate.

#7 has stock in a Plasma manufacturer.

So it's safe to say that whatever I watch on this TV will leave a burn in?

lmao #10

LOL #10 u are funny

Now about $150 over market. Check ecost for a Maxent at $849.

do i have to shake it vigorously with my wrist to make the picture show up?

I have a 2 yr old 20" Polaroid LCD HDTV(home office), 2 month old Samsung 40" LCD HDTV (bedroom set), and 6 month old LG Plasma 50" HDTV (living room set). The Polaroid was my first panel/HDTV set and I have to say that I am sastified with its pic/value/quality(paid $400 no rebate 2 yrs ago @ CC). I have less doubts about buying Polaroid tvs now. With the few amount of LCD/Plasma manufactuers its just a rebadged, so you should just go by reviews on the model instead of replying on brands.

Anyone have any feelings on the "life span" of plasma? I am undecided on how to go. I am looking for around 50", but the picture on Plasma look sooooo much sharper and brighter than comparably priced LCD.

this sounds like a good deal, particularly with its 8000-1 contrast ratio.

#14 - don't steal my jokes.

#16 - don't worry about the "life span" of plasma. Buy what you like, get yourself a good warranty, and hope for the best! With a good warranty, you will guarantee yourself your TV for 3-5 years... after that, you will want to upgrade anyway so there's no reason to worry about the life span.

#13 I searched ecost, but couldn't find any Maxent. Best Buy
shows one as their lowest cost 42" plasma for $1,079.99 but it
doesn't include a tuner. I like that this unit does, so you can
still use it w/o paying big monthly bucks to cable or satellite.

Anyone have an idea where 42" Plasma TV's are going to bottom out price wise? I'm guessing $900 is a good target price to watch for
a unit with a tuner in the near future.

Here's an example price graph on one low end model:
