Seems quiet in here for this type of deal. I am shopping, so if you know of a better deal, please let me know. Thanks!!

Not really. 1080p's that are decent cost vastly more. I see a 42" 1080p LCD that is 60 HZ for $500. At 60 Hz, sports are garbage, but are great in plasma even at 720p.

The blu-ray player goes for $140 all by itself on discount. That makes the TV cost only about $480. Then you get about another $50 worth of cables, etc. I figure that means you are getting the TV for $430.

Find me one 42" 1080p selling for that amount with 120 Hz (to be equivalent to plasma). I know you cannot find a 1080p plasma anywhere in the neighborhood.

Note this was also posted to another deal site and is already a four out of five star deal.
