42inch plasma 1080p for under $600... Is it possible?

[Cadrian]

I really want a plasma...
I had my eyes set on the 50 inch Panasonic G25 for under a grand on amazon for a few weeks now. But my friends talked me out of it due to my where I live currently.

Right now I am renting a bedroom from a friend, helping me and her, considering I needed a place to live and she needed some extra money.
So long story short... my space is limited.

I wanted a plasma... I already have a Samsung 50inch LCD in the living room... but sometimes its occupied with kids or lifetime shows :P

So I am looking for a 42inch for the bedroom... I have done alot of searching I dont think I am going to find a Plasma 1080P plasma in my price range.

I really dont wanna pay over 600 bucks for it... due to the fact, I could just get the 50 inch for just a couple under bucks more, and I really dont have the space for it right now.

Do I have options?
Right now I am just looking at this LCD.... TC-L42U25 on amazon for $550. So Far LCDs really havent wowed me as much plasmas have.

They do have 42 inch 720P Plasmas... Hurts me to ask... but whats yalls opinon? 1080P LCD 42inch or 720P Plasma 42inch? Which is the lesser of two evils?

Thanks
