The 2 sources that list this TV for sale are saying it's "Used".
I honestly think this is one of those rare cases where spending another $200 is worth it for the much higher quality and 50 inch 1080P plasma.
$400 LED/LCD TVs are pretty poor while $400 plasmas are only 720P most of the time.
You could try going to BestBuy and see if they have a floor plasma model that they might sell you for $50-100 less than the BNIB one.
Another way to think about it: You are going to spend $400+ on a next gen console but then cut corners and get the most budget TV you can get. That's like buying a $400 iPod Touch and $50 headphones. Just like the headphones are the ultimate point of contact with your ears/brain for sound waves, the TV it the ultimate point of contact with your eyes/brain for visuals. If you compromise a lot on those ends, your overall experience is significantly degraded in both cases. But if you really can't stretch your budget beyond $400, you are going to have too choose between a 720P plasma like the Samsung E-450 or a 1080P LCD/LED and there are obviously going to be trade-offs in image quality between both of those options.

Alternatively you might need to start looking at used 1080P plasmas then.
