Summary: Be careful of On line Fraud Artists
Review: A word to the wise, I have been going crazy trying to find a plasma TV at a super low price. I mean who does not want a really great deal? Along the way I have learned quite a bit. Many on line sellers, some right here on Amazon, are scammers. They usually have a comment about contacting them prior to ordering. This should be your first clue that something is wrong. Once you email them they give you some line about you paying outside of Amazon for one reason or another. I have had them wanting me to send payment by moneygram, western union, even bank transfer from my bank account directly to theirs. Only after receipt of payment is verified will they send the package. I sure hope none of you will fall for this. I have even had one seller offer to go through a third party named Square Trade. A quick google showed the company to be quite legit. After agreeing to use Square Trade, I received an offical looking email (using Square Trades logo, and a spoofed Square Trade email address) instructing me to send a money gram to an indiviual in Romania. I might just have well put cash in an envelope. I have turned these individuals into Amazon, Square Trade ( who was aware of the situation) and have now started notifying the email hosts that their service is being used as part of the scam. NO I was not a victim but I hope none of you become one either. NEVER PAY FOR ANY TRANSACTION OUTSIDE OF AMAZON IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE PROTECTED.

Summary: Scam Listings
Review: If any of these "New & Used" prices sound suspicious. Don't pay any attention to them.

They are scams... I've been emailing many of these sellers and they are all looking for payment outside of the Amazon.com system. I don't even know why I'm even referring to these sellers in plural because I'm certain they are all the same individual. All the registered sellers are brand new accounts. Offering a $649 brand new item that is listed for $19,999.00 (Zenith 60 inch).

When you make payment outside of the Amazon.com payments system, the Amazon.com guarantee does not apply. It is so disappointing that Amazon.com allows these items to even be listed.

Amazon.com customer service inquiry quote...
"All Amazon Marketplace and most Amazon Merchants purchases are paid through Amazon Payments; to circumvent this system is a serious violation of our terms of use."

I know this is blatantly obvious to nearly every buyer that uses Amazon and I'm not posting this review to act like I'm the smart detective here...
I simply just want to speak up in hopes that Amazon can put some effort into eliminating this annoyance.

Review: PLASMA TV

Right off the bat, I would have to say that this piece of technology is definitely worth the price of it. Although I didn't get as good a price on my plasma TV as is being advertised here on Amazon, which makes me nervous for all you out there thinking of buying from here. A word the wise here folks: anything with a list price of nine thousand dollars, being sold for only 1,499 sounds a bit like a scam to me. All I'm trying to say here is to be careful! Anyway, now to the product itself, I would highly recommend to anybody who has the means, to purchase this TV. Not only is the picture and sound better, but it takes up less space than a normal TV. The only problem with it for me comes in the set up. It is a semi challenge in order to get the TV up onto a wall. You have to make sure the TV is centered on the wall, that it is straight, and whether or not you have enough support behind it to keep it up. However, other than that setup issue, I would have to give this TV 3.5 stars out of 5.
