Ok, I don't get credit (but I'll take any rep) as this is a Slickdeals find.
Let me point out, from what I can tell, using my vast connections, this is a Chinese manufactured Sharp, not a Japanese manufactured panel, from their Quattron, or even the Aquos line. The quality will be questionable at this price, but it's a $200 42" LCD. What do you expect? This is also a one-shot, limited quantity, "special purchase" similar to the 40" LED Quattron for $599 they did late this summer. I am hoping the picture is comparable to the LC60E78 for example, but I doubt it. I am also going to assume it's only 60hz, and probably even only 720p. Still, I am going to try and score a couple, one for the roommates bedroom, one as a monitor for my gaming rig. If anyone else manages to snag one, I would be curious how they like it, and what they use it for, where they got it, and how hard to get etc.

That's an add scan. It only shows Sharp 42" LCD. The model number listed is a weird one, and I wasn't able to find any info on it. minimum 10 per store, but I think adds may be regional, so maybe different markets won't have them.
LMK what you find out!
