Plasma EDTV for less than $1200
Tags: HDTV, LCD, Plasma
MacMall is currently offering the Vizio 42-in Plasma EDTV for $1199. You need to factor in shipping costs ($199), but even so, this offer may now be starting the price erosion we thought we'd see starting in August.
We should note that a refurbished Akai plasma is also available from Tiger Direct for the same price. $1200 seems to be the new low price bar for plasma EDTV -- and it was only last month that that number was around $1500.
As a secondary comment, when stopping at my local Shaw's grocery store, I noticed that they are now running advertising on Sony 42" plasmas throughout the store as well as at 15" LCDs at the checkouts. This is just another example of how flat screens will transform pieces of our lives that we wouldn't expect to be affected by technology.
