I personally think it's an amazing deal from what ive seen out there.
here are some links with good 1080 p hdtv's from amazon:

this is the 32 inch, an okay deal but the 42 inch is almost the same price, actually 100 dollars cheaper.
look at how expensive the 42 incher is:

Peronsally, there is not much diff. between a 32 and a 42. you really dont need one that big. but go with whatever floats your boat
have fun, tech improves so quickly, doesn't it?!
