I posted this cause I wanna start seeing the best deals on 42" sets approaching for B-Day whether it be LCD or Plasma.
Currently the Westinghouse is a front runner for me and a possible buy if I can get it at the right price, next would be Daytek 37” HD LCD for me but a little on small side to replace my LG 42" PX3DCV EDTV as my main viewing screen which has been a really solid set and will become a secondary unit in my home.
Now I see while browsing Costco, the Maxent MX-42X3 42" HDTV set at $1549 with free wall mount, that’s a nice bonus and we have a solid return policy behind us! Yeah I am aware the Daytek 50" HDTV is online at $1999 but thats $500 extra plus tax, there are also the 42" Akai and 50" Akais but the Maxent seems to have a better review than the 42" Akai and there is chance the Maxent may be less in store if you can find one.
The unit only has 1 HDMI and no internal tuner and can not do 1080p BUT reports are internally its a 42" Panny or possibly a Samsung. This is a very informative thread on the set. The unit came out in 05, whether it has gone through a revision or not I am not sure. It has pixel orbiter and is fanless and dead quiet from reading at avs, picture quality appears to be very very good

What I want to know, is it available locally and can GRY8 give some feedback on it. Most of the user reviews in avs forum are very positive with no real complaints or reason to return to upgrade. Anyone who has seen please report where?
