Hey Illusion, that MAxent plasma isnt a great deal, you'll need a tuner for it since it's not built in plus the lamp life on those are about 10,000 hrs, and there have been many problems defects with cheaper plasmas like that. My bro works at best buy and he said those get returned all the time. Beside the pic quality blows.You're better off getting the new panasonic edtv plasma for 1500, it lasts 60,000 hrs with the new technology. The MAxent is last years tech. Hope this helps out with your choice.
