^^ qft... the Westy is far superior as a pc monitor... the panasonic is 1024x768 native.. but as a TV that's a nice plasma display.. very good price on it. 
Worse as a monitor, but much better as a TV.
I agree.
Man, I went through this a couple weeks ago with another 42" plasma.
Virtually all 42" plasma sets are 1024x768... and they are all 16:9 aspect ratio.
See this thread for more info if you're confused:

this is a pretty good deal for such a big set, but if you want 1080p

No tuner, only 1 component input, 1 VGA input, no HDMI or DVI inputs.
You can buy an HDMI expansion slot for around $130.

I had this very pany in question early last year, new off Ebay for $800 I think shipped.
Really, look up the model number, this monitor has been discontinued for some time.
So qft? Whatever.
The only thing cool about it is it's all black.
I had Cox hd cable hooked up to this Pany and my old Westinghouse W1 and even after both sets were calibrated, The Westinghouse looked great.

this is one of the top plasma tv to buy. do research and don't listen to how people here are yapping about how the westinghouse is better. and this is a plasma so kinda pointless to compare it to a lcd. westinghouse is not even a top 10 lcd to buy.

Yes I agree, I would buy this in a heartbeat if i didn't get my panny 1 year ago (for over 2500$)
The professional/commercial line of Panasonic is one of the best we can get for plasma. At work, we just installed a 50" version of the same panel and it's gorgeous.

Picked one of these up for $1199 (free shipping and no tax to CA). You also get a free Harmony remote or discounted upconverting Toshiba DVD player. Specs are very close to the Panny.
