if you are talking about the WalMart 42" plasma, then you can clearly read the model number in the ad ... it differs from the link i posted by exactly one number (pdp42v18ha in the ad and the linked model is pdp42v12ha) ... i assume the specs will be very close (if not identical) ...

i know a friend who has this TV and he is extremely satisfied with it ... he did use a AVIA (i think) disc to tune it, and pic quality is excellent ... i agree that viewing angles will be a little limited compared to the LCD and plasma, but u definitely get more screen for your dinero ...

The models may be similar, but they are not the same. The one in the Wal-Mart add states it has both tuners, where the one from the Viore site only has an ATSC tuner. Not a huge difference, but big enough for me to believe some of the other features and specs may vary. Either way I'm tempted to give it a go on the 24th.

did u even read the full specs??????? the viore link i posted also says - TV Tuner: ATSC/NTSC TV Tuner ... it will be the same TV - WalMart can get a different model number just for their stores ...

if your friend in the store is able to open a box to check the manual for the specs, then please update us when you find out ... i bought the viore plasma last BF and the box itself does not have any information ... and they only got those in the store a couple of days before BF ... these TVs were never placed on the floor, they are just sold on BF morning and thats it ...

done ... thanks, i missed it ...

Why is the Costco Panny TH42PX6U for $1299 not included on the list? I know it's not a BF deal, but it's still worth mentioning and tracking.

isnt OM having a 37" viore for the same price? no rebates also ...

True, but what is a Viore? Also, I was thinking I'd seen a scan that said 'min 2 per store' which makes me wonder if its worth trying for... while Meijers' ad says 'good fri and sat'

Ouch-- missed that, good catch.

For those of you who don't care about resolution or power consumption as much

42" plasma EDTV for $499 AR at Meijers is a pretty good deal. This one?

I may have to go that way since my PJ is going to be the primary 'movie' display anway...

Pretty much had done investigating and was going for the Panasonic 50" Plasma. Now I'm thinking I may go LCD. Can someone name the top two or three LCD manufacturers? I'll restart my investigating. (might wait for superbowl sales)
