I stopped by Soundsaround, FS, and BB. There were some good deals on Panasonic Plasmas (all I really looked at)

42" - TH-42PX75U - $1299 at all three stores
50" - TH-50PX75U - $1899 at FS (unposted)
50" - TH-50PX600U - $1888 at Soundsaround (sold out)
58" - TH-58PZ700U - $4388 at Soundsaround (regular around $5700)

The 1080p versions of the 42's and 50's were also nicely discounted at all the stores ($2500 at BB, $1300 off), but I dont feel 1080p has any advantage on that small of a display in you are sitting more than 6 or 7 feet away (which I am).

In the end, I decided not to buy anything, and instead head down to the US and buy a TH-58PH10UK instead. I would have bought the 600U at $1888, or the 50PX75U if it were $200 cheaper.
