Heads Up: Inexpensive 42" Plasma

just for people that wanna get a new TV and move into the realm of flat panel I came across perhaps the best deal on the market right now...

Vizio 42" Plasma $799.99 @ TigerDirect

I purchased one yesterday and to be honest side by side the panasonic 50" that was there and a couple pioneer this one held its own and for the price you cant really beat it

Product Details

2 HDMI inputs (nice!)
Dual integrated DTV/Standard Tuner (Picture in picture from one source!)
etc etc

I dont even know where to put this thing right now, its sittin on my kitchen table with my dvd player hooked up to it

so far I give this

Guys and I at work use to scope their site all the time. Rumour is, all their stuff is refurbished.

Any thoughts on that?

word on the internet is that vizio uses lg components

not to mention there are only a handful of companies that produce plasma panels in the first place
