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:

• Widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio)
• 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
• Wall mount kit ready
• Less than 5" deep
• Stereo speakers

Could be better:

• 1000:1 contrast ratio
• Separate set-top box or tuner needed
