Panasonic TH-42PD50U 42-Inch Flat Panel EDTV Plasma TV
As good as HD
Many of the things I have to say have been said before, so I'll keep it short. <br />This TV plays DVS's and XBOX in hi-def the same as HDTV's---fabulous!!  I wanted the Panasonic HD Plasma, but decided not to because I was not going to pay the extra 30 bucks/month for HD programming from Dishnetwork.  The picture from regular Dishnetwork is pretty good (be sure to set your receiver to 16:9 ratio).  If you're not going to get HD programming (which is hardly any channels anyway...I think Dishnetwork has only 13), then don't waste the extra money on HD...this EDTV is just as good with DVD's and gaming without blowing an extra 2 grand. <br /> <br />I searched here and on Pricegrabber.com for the absolute lowest price, then went to my local Circuit City and they matched it without question.  Ended up paying around $1700.  Very happy with the quality.  The included remote is a bit oversized and akward to hold though.
