SVA HD4208TIII-PDP 42-Inch Flat-Panel Plasma EDTV
Bang for the buck
If you are looking for a low end plasma i.e 5k and below then this one is your best bet.  There is no reason to spend 3500 for a panasonic or 5g's for a sony because the quality of this screen is top notch and the low price makes it that much better.  I do agree with one of the other reviewers in that the screen is uncharacteristically heavy, something to take into consideration if you want to wall mount this unit.  Other than that there are only two drawbacks and the reason for the 4 not 5 star rating is that its EDTV and no DVI input.
