I don't want you to think that I don't like Dell, so I'll try to be as clear as possible. I usually never recommend anyone by a product, especially one as expensive as a plasma, without seeing it in person for yourself.
Also, buying a plasma over the web does come with a few pitfalls. Say for example, the plasma doesn't work upon delivery. You'll have to go through the process of mailing it back to Dell for a replacement. I encourage your motivation to buy from a trusted name, as opposed to some obscure website offering a low price, but there are certain benefits you get when buying from a local shop.
Dell is not in the business of manufacturing plasma televisions, so you can reasonably assume they're sourcing them from somewhere, just with their logo attached. You'll probably get a little more for your dollar buying a display from LG, Samsung, or Panasonic.
Take a moment to check out some of LG's 42" plasmas around the same price. The newer models have amazing black levels for the price. And always remember, it's usually unwise to buy based on specs alone, and always see something in person before you hand over your hard-earned cash.
