The BIN has gone, unless you have a private arrangement with the seller.

TBH I would not personally consider buying a plasma screen with an unknown history. They are reputedly prone to premature failure if they have seen many hours of use, and for all you know this has been on 24 hours a day for a year in a restaurant or dealing room or betting shop or wherever.

thanks for the suggestion,but the seller is saying that it is ex-display model and he is giving 30 day warranty...

mostly

walk away i'd say

Googling the model number brought up forum posts back in Dec 2004, so the technology is at least 3 years old.

A decent 42 inch plasma has a resolution of 1024 x 768.
