"Commercial" plasma screens the real deal for HT?


Following my other thread where I was asking for advices on $1500 screens for my small 10*11 audio-video room to be used solely for DVDs (no TV cable input), many have amswered that the best deal remain traditional CRT TVs, wide-screen (Sony Wega or XBR).
I stumbled onto a forum that advocates the purchase of commercial plasma screens (about $1500 for 42": Matrix, Hyundai or other NEC) with none of the consummer gadgets, no speaker, just component input. That would do the job for me as I have no HDMI output on my McCormack UDP-1.
What is the catch, if any? resolution (800*400 and change) too low? reliability? this seems to be a good deal to me and will not create a big mass between my audio-first speakers.

Any opinions?
Thanks

The street price on the Commercial version of the Panasonic EDTV plasma has dropped below $1500 and I've seen it as low as $1249, plus $249 for shipping from a web-vendor. That is a stellar price on this unit!

Enjoy,

Thats pretty much a buy now do not pass go price. I havent seen it that low from authorized resllers ( internet included) but obviously that doesnt include the wall mount or table stand I would suppose.
If someone needs a table top mount for a 42" (might also fit 50") Panny ED plasma, I just gave mine to my parents, but I think they are buying a wall mount. So...
