Hitachi P50S601 50-inch Full HD 1080 Plasma HDTV: $1199 (Brand New)
By Big Picture Big Sound Deal Meister

Every once in a while, a deal comes along that I think must be a mistake.  This is one of them.  But it's real.  50-inch full high definition (1920x1080 pixel) plasma televisions from name brand manufacturers are currently selling for around $2000-$2500.  If you're lucky, you might find a sale where you can pick one up for $1700.  But to get the Hitachi P50S601 Full HD 1920x1080 pixel plasma HDTV for $1199.99 ($1300 below list and $400 below any competitors) from an authorized dealer with a flat $99 shipping charge is an absolute steal.

Here's the link (click to view details):

The set features three 1080p-compliant HDMI inputs, a sleek gloss black frame, 16-bit color processing and an anti-reflective screen to minimize glare.  This is a fantastic deal on a great plasma flat panel television.  Grab one while they last!

Note: You must add this item to your cart and check-out in order to get this deal.  If you leave it in your cart expecting to check-out later, it may run out of stock before you check out.

Also, if you want to upgrade to their even higher performance P50V701 model, with its super-cool motorized swivel base, CableCard compatibility, TV Guide OnScreen and Reel60 Film mode, you can do that for just $200 more

How good a deal is this?  I just bought one.  And I already have a 50-inch plasma!

Note: Tiger Direct is also a marketplace seller on Amazon.com so these links also work (for now):
