You do have to agree bruman, that Getting $1k Check (WHEN NOT CHOOSING IT) and 10+ Others getting the 42" HDTV from the same site, who did the same requirements, is definitely NOT FAIR by any means.

Too bad you didn't get what you want. At least be happy that you got $1000

What plasma was that? I don't think there's a 42" plasma on the market that isn't at least EDTV, and if you're talking about the Panasonic plasma that I-Deal likes to ship, it most definitely liisli ED resolution.

Still, my point was Samsung (nor anybody else I know of) doesn't make a 42" plasma that isn't at least EDTV.

And EDTV isn't bad. I'm feeding the 42" Panasonic I got from I-Deal a 720p HD signal (which of course downconverts to the plasma's 480p resolution) and it looks great. You'd really have to look at it side-by-side with a true HD panel to notice a difference, I'd say. I wouldn't necessarily buy an ED myself, but as a freebie I have no complaints.

It said it was normally SD and was ED ready...


I have the same Panasonic set up that you have in my bedroom and yeah, it's very clear, I love it.

I'm willing to bet they meant it included an NTSC (SD) tuner but not an ED tuner, however it still would have been EDTV resolution. "HDTV/EDTV Ready" means the panel is capable of displaying the indicated resolution, but you have supply your own tuner.
