I recently bought the 42" 720p Panasonic plasma for $1200 and love it. Turns out Consumer Reports agrees and rates it the #1 plasma at that size. The top two LCDs we both Samsung, the first being 1080.

a 42" plasma for 1200?
wow, thats a steal.
If it's this guy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8254774&type=product&id=1169512771844
You managed to get it even cheaper than the sale price, how'd you manage?

Besides never buying that kind of shit from best buy?
Here's the exact same display for 1090 with free shipping and no tax from Amazon:

Unless you need something immediately I don't know why anyone buys big ticket items from Best Buy/CC, etc.

everyone knows you're supposed to report and pay taxes on your online (out of state) purchases at the end of the year, right?
right???
(does anyone really do that?)

Actually that Best Buy model is the 75U. I got the slightly higher-end 77U (anti-glare coating). It was on sale for $1299 at Circuit City but I mentioned their service plans seemed significantly more expensive than Best Buy so they knocked $70 off. It was also for sale at Sears for $1200 that same week. As Canadian Bacon mentioned, you can find good deals online too.

you've got to check out the 50" panasonic 720p 75u at sears. on sale for 1599 and 250 off when you use a sears card. Plus an employee discount, I walked out of the store with this tv for 1315 including tax.

wow all you guys are getting ripped. If you're willing to set up directv (which is totally worth it), circuit city (or best buy) will give you $300 off an hdtv. plus a rebate for the receiver for the satellite. all told, I paid $800+tax for the Samsung 42" 720p plasma. Preferred it to the Panasonic, as it has a better contrast and more inputs (VGA, which i needed, and an extra HDMI).
Not to say I got the best deal possible. Black Friday's coming up and I'm sure people will find a lot of steals. Everyone thinks they got a good deal, but seriously, do your research (slickdeals/fatwallet).
