I picked up some 42" Panasonic TH-42PF20U plasma monitors (latest generation) last week and have two I don't need. These are the full-res 1920x1080 models. They were hand-picked from a lot of about 10. The rest had severe burn-in, so I passed on them. The ones I'm selling have low hours (260 on one, 340 on the other). They have absolutely no burn-in and are like new. One of the monitors I bought was new (the hour count in the menu didn't even register yet, it was blank). The ones I'm selling look exactly like this one. Price is $995. Local pickup in Burbank only. PM if interested!

If you don't get many bites might be because new at B&H they are $1,199+shipping and with warranty. I commented because i'd have been interested 2-3 month back but, not worth it considering only a few hundred savings and no warranty.

Yeah I saw that. I'm open to offers as well. They should still be under warranty. The manufacture dates are all around June 2010, from what I recall. I'll have to pull them out and check to be sure.

Do they have the SDI input board included or just HDMI and old school ins?

No SDI -- just standard HDMI on these. However, unless you really need dual-link SDI input I don't think there's any advantage to the single-link SDI boards over an HDLink or similar product. I don't know what HDMI version the 20-series panels support, but I can confirm it will clock at 24p rates. I don't know what the actual refresh rate is with 24p content, but it's probably over 48 Hz. I don't see any flicker when playing 24p content over HDMI, but I DO see flicker with PAL content. It's probably 72 Hz. I don't know whether the bit depth is 8 or 10.
 
I have an AJA Hi5-3G HD-SDI to HDMI adapter box to sell that would bundle perfectly with this!
 
Here's a shot of what the panel says the input is when feeding it a 24p signal over HDMI.

I had the TH-58PFUK12 Series 12. These are excellent sets.
 
That HD-SDI input board DOES NOT work with the new PF20 series! Panasonic has a new "Slot 2.0" interface for the PF20 series -- hence the PF20 naming instead of PF13 like everyone was expecting.

HD-SDI 2.0 module is $2400 right now. Not worth it, IMO. Get an AJA Hi5-3G HD-SDI to HDMI converter for about $500. They're awesome.

As I said, up to series 12...
Anyway, I have TH-58PFUK12 and it supports only HDMI 1.2. Hence, the SDI card is only way to get 10 bit into the monitor. For $250 it is pretty good deal. Otherwise, cards, like GTX 480 along with two dual DVI outputs, sport HDMI 1.4, so I would just use it to feed the PF20 series, unless, of coarse, the source is SDI, in which case you'd need AJA, BM or Geffen converter.
