A review of the Element PLX4202B finds that it has some pretty impressive features like a QAM tuner which will allow you to pick up basic HDTV channels like NBC, CBS, etc. for free over the air with an antenna. It also has great brightness and contrast ratio which is what you’re looking for in a good Plasma. It’s missing some convenience features like picture-in-picture but overall, the key features that matter are impressive, especially for how low priced this set is.
