Prices for plasma HDTVs keep coming down, and RitzCamera.com offers many of the best specials. For this week only, the RitzCamera.com electronics store is offering a Sylvania 42" plasma HDTV monitor for $799 (plus $165 truck delivery). Although this HDTV isn’t the latest technology or offers the highest contrast picture, for this price it would make a great monitor for a smaller room, such as a bedroom.

The good things about this HDTV:

• High Definition Television (HDTV) compatible; Can accept 720p and 1080i HDTV signals
• Jacks for S-video input, composite video input, and audio input/output
• 16.7 million color display

Prices for plasma TVs keep coming down, and leading the pack today is RitzCamera.com. In their electronics store, they are offering a 50-inch Panasonic Plasma TV TH50PH9UK (Progressive Wide Panel Display) for $2099, which is reduced further to $1999 after the $100 rebate (good until 12/31/2006).

This HDTV has a lot going for it for an extremely attractive price. The Panasonic TH-50PH9UK offers the highest levels of brightness, color gradation and 10000:1 contrast.

Flexibility is this product’s middle name; the 16:9 aspect ratio makes this television perfect for movie buffs. It offers HDMI via an optional terminal board, while the built-in analog video/audio and S-video connectors give the benefits of plasma to those who don’t have true digital satellite or cable signals piped into their home yet. The 15-pin PC connectors qualify the Panasonic TH-50PH9UK to be used as a "make-your-friends-jealous," wide-screen computer monitor (up to 1366 x 768) as part of an ultimate gaming system.
