I know there are a number of folks out there tracking the deals on Panasonic Plasma TVs, so I thought I'd create a thread to keep track of all the deals in one place. Not everything posted here has to be the best deals, I just figured it would be useful to have a place to keep track of prices. Even if a deal seems only so-so, someone else may know of a coupon or CashBack deal that would make it great!

Here's some of the research I've been doing on some of the models I'm considering:

*edit 11/2 to fix Sears prices

Need to revise Sears deal prices, it looks like right now the Sears CC 5/10% off is only in store so no way to combine with Bing. Makes safeway GC deal look even better.

No V10 series?

Or 54G10 and 58G10?

That may be, but they're Panasonic plasmas I'm looking at. Mind adding the size (42" - 50") to the thread title? This is on the front page, so a generic thread title will get people looking for more than what this thread has.

The prices are falling fast, so your blood might like what it finds. Especially factoring in Cash Back, because 5% back on $2k is more $$ than 5% back on 600.

I'd be happy to add info for the models you mention if you can post the prices. I just don't have the bandwidth to do the research on models I'm not considering right now Otherwise I can make this thread more 42-50 centric, and let someone else handle the bigger sets.

steinauf said:is it necessary to limit this to 42-50? I think it would be more beneficial if it just encompassed all panasonic plasmas

I'm fine with that, I just can't keep up with any more models than I'm currently tracking. If others want to share their data on other models in this thread that would be great, I'll add it to the first post.

Updated a few minor price changes on Amazon.

The pioneer looks awesome! I'm really trying to get stay in the $600-800 range, so I'm leaning toward the p50s1. However, as the P50G10/15s flirt with sub $1k they are tempting me a bit. What can I say, I'm a sucker for THX. Even bought those silly THX monster cables. Good thing I watch FatWallet and got them at a Sears F&F for something insane like 90% of

Rob

Added P54S1 and a little data for the P54G10 to capture the Sears BF deal.

Not currently tracking this older model, but WalMart will have the P46U1 for $788 on 11/7. Not super hot, but not bad IMHO. Should be able to get the newer 46" or 50" S1 for about the same money if you are willing to jump through some hoops.
