Yup. The TC-P42C2 is a plasma. Not sure what the confusion is.

super dipper 600hz LCD TV
What's a dipper?
It's only 720p and 600Hz. Seems like for $200 more you can get the real enchilada LCD. Don't want a plasma in the summer.
I'm looking for a decent LCD in the ~32" class for ~$250 for the bedroom, maybe hold off for a 42".

It only has a 60Hz refresh rate. The 600Hz is a typo.
I don't think there's any video source that can drive a 600Hz refresh rate...120Hz seems to be the max.

Yeah, it's not a typo. It can accept 60Hz on input, but then it does some post-processing to make it look like 600Hz video. It's the latest and greatest in plasma nowadays.

Historically, plasma screens generate a lot of heat... it makes for a nice heater during winter, but during summer it's an unwelcome feature. Not sure if the latest plasmas still exhibit this. I know plasmas have become more energy efficient, so maybe this heat dissipation is not as bad as it used to be.

I was under the impression that the "hz" doesn't matter on Plasma screens like it does on LCD units.
However, do expect your electric bill to be higher with plasma units as they tend to draw 2x as much as their LCD brethren.

Yep...got a plasma in the bedroom. Over 90 today outside. With the plasma on the bedroom feels even hotter. Got the a/c on and it's still pretty hot in the room. Even in the winter it can get a bit too warm.

OK, I didn't equate the heat factor in the summer. Where I live the A/C is on ten months out of the year. We have two Plasmas, a 42" & a 50". Both are Energy Star rated but they do put out some heat. I never noticed it until I got close to them, like a few inches away.

I wonder if you photographed the screen with a DSLR where you could set the shutter speed, if you could verify the refresh rate.
I can do 1/1000 or faster on my DSLR.
