Update: The price has been lowered on Nov 3rd at RitzCamera.com; it is now $2048.00 before rebate and $1948.00 after.
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.
