Any comments = Gateway 42-Inch Plasma TV under 3K

Gateway recently announced a Gateway 42-Inch Plasma TV priced under $3,000. Gateway announced on November 1 2002 the release of their new plasma TV at a market price of $2,999. "It is the first TV they have manufactured in years and they have truly targeted a wider audience of consumers with this more affordable plasma set. With a 42-inch, 16:9 screen, 852 x 480 resolution and internal stereo amplified speakers this plasma is thin enough to hang on nearly every wall".

Any comments on how this unit compares to Sony, etc. Thanks
