New low for 50-inch plasma prices

Admittedly, this is a refurb unit, but the Philips Electronics Outlet is selling a 50-inch plasma HDTV monitor for $1,812.99. It's a nice complement to the $999 Black Friday 42-inch plasma special. I would view these as special deals rather than a general pricing trend -- I've been looking at overall advertised prices of 50-inch plasma displays and they appear actually to be going up rather than down at this point.
