Think this whole 3D thing is a bunch of hubbub, like pet rocks, slap bracelets and Tamagotchi? That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not interested in a new top-end plasma display, does it now? 

Today only, ABT has the 42-inch Panasonic G25 series 1080p plasma display on sale for a low $998 with free shipping (more than $200 off the regular price). 

The G25 series is not a 3D display but it does feature an impressive 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 100,000 hour panel life. 

At the given price, it’s tough to imagine a better small display (wait, did we just call 42 inches a small display for these days?) for living room, bedroom, or other location where you can’t fit a larger display.

Note: Deals subject to availability and price changes.
