Is this a good deal? (must have knowledge about TV's)

My friend wants my TV bad. I have a Panasonic 42" Full HD Plasma Viera(TC-P42S30). It looks good and is good for gaming. I forgot what i paid for it but my Friend wants to buy it from me for $650 with the hanging-type stand i bought for it which was like $130. What should i do? Should i sell it and get smaller TV? Im a gamer and i fell i play better if i have a smaller TV but i dont know if i should stay put and just buy HALO4 and be done with it and jsut game on a 42". I dont know what to do, i think it is a good deal but i dont know if i want to go around selling my exspensive things.

I dont know 650$ for that package sounds like a bad deal for him.:?

That's a really good deal for you and a really bad deal for your friend. Plasma TVs suck.

Plasma TVs have good picture quality initially but it degrades over time. And burn-in is unavoidable. Buying a used plasma TV is simply retarded.

The guy clearly asked for someone with knowledge about TVs, not someone like you.

Whos this dumb**** who said burn in is unavoidable? I've had mine for over 2 years and not a single problem with burn in whatsoever. My TV looks just as good as it did when I bought it new. However, ALL TVs, including LED LCDs, lose brightness over time. Panasonics are renowned for their amazing Plasmas and their new VT50 line is currently the best looking set out by pretty much all accounts right now.

As for $650, you're making out pretty good.

I'm simply tired of every TV thread that shows up is simply spammed with Plasma. And not knowledgeable? What I said stands as fact. Plasmas are terrible at elevation.

Breckenridge, CO. Google it. I'm not making this up. Oh and I'm not a soccer mom or LED R&D. Just have to realize that there are people out there who don't stroke in the bathroom to panasonic catalogs. I'm not even wasting my time with an overpriced display for my next screen, I'm going with a projector. I simply talked down on plasmas, and in return I'm either a soccer mom, best buy salesman, or a spoiled 14 yr old. I don't see that making much sense.

Fact is, a plasma will burn-in faster than a CRT would (no im not talking about a game hud, I mean long-term static images) . And they do have image retention. It does go away, but both of these things I do not see as "superior technology" but rather steps backwards. It's a good thing OLED is right around the corner to sour the milk in your cereal. Plasmas have been a "that'll do" technology, certainly not superior. Am I saying LCD/LED is superior? No, but plasma is not "the be all and end all".
