This is a basic but beautiful looking plasma TV. I'd buy one at this price if i didnt have two TVs already.

This is the Series 4 which is the HD model - Not the Full HD.
I have the Series 5 (full HD) and have been happy with it.
Check out the TVs ability to display a full white screen - mine tends to be grey rather than white.
Dont bother with the expensive USB wireless connection dongle they are selling - there is no benefits for connecting this to the net.

- Turn off Eco-Sensor (Menu->Picture), and you'll notice that whites are actually white !
coz plasmas burn most energy while showing white, eco-sensor kicks in by default

Also, warranty on the site says "$1001-$1500" so obviously they haven't updated the warranty and made it cheaper to reflect the lower cost of the TV so I'd be weary of buying right away.
EDIT:
Here are the proper links to the extended warranty if people want them:

ChrisAnderson on 21/10/2010 - 20:59 ¶Where does it say to pay by PayPal and get 10% off? I could not find on PayPal site and here.

32" you can get away with a normal HD TV.
I wouldn't want anything above 40" without being FULL HD though. Otherwise its the only thing dragging the TV down to not being an absolute steal at that price. :(That said, if you're going to be sitting back 6+ metres from the screen I suppose this wouldn't be too bad.

Guys I've just taken the plunge. JB has 15% off online which makes this $754.80.

PLUS there is the 10% paypal rebate which expires end of the month.

Which makes it $679.50 after the rebate! Downside is there is a 2-4 week waiting period as they are currently out of stock, but since the paypal transaction happened today I will get the rebate.
No doubt there will be some fantastic deals leading up to Christmas but if I bought this one MUST be cheap!
BTW: The whole power thing for me is a non-issue. With the money you save on the plasma you can buy a 2nd small LCD TV for those times when a big screen is not an issue. Depending upon you viewing habits and how you take advantage of that situation, you could on average be using less power than if you had one expensive LCD TV. PLUS you would extend the life of your plasma since you won't be using it all the time.

Don't forget to pay via Paypal for 10% cash back makes this deal: $799.20 I think
