I can pick it up for $200.00 and have a DVD player and Home Theater to hook it to and our current cable box will play HDTV without us paying more because of the DVR my wife has. Is this a good deal so I don't have to watch Football on a 27 in old tube TV? Please advise but it seems like a screamin deal to me. Awards

I had Plasma for 6 years now, not one bit of trouble with it at all.

If it lasts a year it's worth 200 bucks... just for football season alone. Awards

But hell, for $200 you can't go wrong.

The wife is stoked but I did tell her I am going to be watching lots more football in the living room. Thanks for the advice and we just couldnt afford a new one but this should do great. Awards
