dell plasma's

i am looking to get a plasma for my new place and the 42" hd from dell for $2899 seems like the best deal. so can anyone tell me otherwise? i am willing to pay a little bit more to buy from dell because it's a name you can trust but not too much more. and any coupon codes or anything out there to get the price a little lower? thanks.

In the absence of doing any real research, I am always skeptical of products that are the cheapest compared to all other brands. There almost always has to be a good reason.

Dell rules, i would buy it.

i agree. but dell is not cheap because of low quality, and it's a brand name that i can trust buying from.

For any computer device yes...

but I would do my research before I start buying plasma tv's or mp3 players. They aren't quite Sony yet in terms of dominating all electronics.

Um, is that a good thing? Sony has been poor-performing poor-quality crap in all areas (except TVs) for the past 10 years.

Walk man? Discman? Playstaion 1, 2?

I have had a Sony DVD player for 4 years, works perfectly.

Is Sony really that bad?

Sony recievers on the lower end are crap, but they are good on the higher end.
Their computers aren't that great.
Canon > Sony cameras especially on the lower end.
I could go on. You just have to watch what you buy with Sony. Some of their stuff is really good, and some of it is crap.

Playstation 1 & 2 are perfect examples of what I'm talking about. The quality control, especially on PS2, is horrendous. Walkman I'll give ya, but that pre-dates my 10-year criteria. My remark was mainly geared towards digital cameras, computers, car audio, and home theater.
