costco plasma tvs?

[Dome]

i saw some plasmas for around 1000 bucks, i think they were samsung or panasonic, maybe something else, but the model number was 505000.

from what i'm seeing on the forums, LCDs are now the more popular choice, i was wondering if these plasmas were just cheap units or if they're a good deal.

i would game on the thing, but also watch plenty of movies.

From what I recall of their cheap Panny 58 and Vizio 60, the issue is that it's older tech, 768 vertical res instead of the newer 1080. Obviously, the picture in terms of brightness won't touch an LCD either. They just don't sell as well I would guess. I've been tempted by them myself, but 1080 is just easier to upscale to.
