| jeff9977's Full Review: Gateway PLSM42TV 42 in. EDTV-Ready TV |
Bought the 42" Gateway plasma due to the low price (2999.00), free shipping, and one year interest free. After having the set for a few months now though I wish I had waited before making the purchase. I didn't fully understand the difference between HDTV and EDTV when buying this set and made the mistake of assuming all plasmas were HDTV. Lesson learned. The picture is still enjoyable and watching DVDs in 16x8 is great but with the speed at which this segment of the industry is moving I wish I had waited for the true HDTV plasmas to come down in price. But, if you're like me and just have the plasma bug and can't wait this set will work. My thoughts now though are that eventually I'll move this set to my bedroom and get a true HDTV for the family room.
