Looks like price is dropping every week. I found Panasonic TH-50PH9UK Black 50″ 16:9 Professional Series HD Plasma Display - Retail at Newegg.com. for $1899

.

User reviews are great but I think this one need to have built-in HDTV tuner.  Hey, 50″ quality Plasma display for under $2000 delivered to your front door, it is great.
