This model is sold on costco.ca.. where does it fit in their line up compared to the TH-42PX80U.

Anyone have one?

I too am looking at this unit, $999 including rebate until Aug. 3rd.

I havent spotted the set at costco so I assume its online only. I dont really feel comfortable buying a set sight unseen. Good price though.

All of the Ottawa area stores have this set and the 50" version. They looked substantially better to my eye than the other plasmas on display.

I'm sure they will arrive in Edmonton soon, if not already.

I've seen this set in person at the Costco in Kitchener, ON. It seems very similar to the PX80. 720p and I believe only 2 HDMI ports though. It looked nice enough and would probably be good for anyone on a tighter HD budget.

This is the same as the PX80 except for no front HDMI port and a grey bezel instead of black.

At CostCo you also get a 90 day return policy and a second year warranty. Not too bad for this TV and most all other electronics.
