cant find info on this tv, any help

carrigy

I was looking for a new tv, went into local shop and saw a 50" samsung plasma for 899, it's 3D(not sure passive or active).Not even suere if its 1080p, I assume it is but there really wasn't alot of info on display about it. Anyway i got the saleswoman to write down the model number so i could google it when i got home. She wrote down Ps50c8900xkyxxy. I searched for it but the 8900 keeps bringing up results for a blu ray player.My thinking is the xkxxy part is something to do with being sold in ireland?

Could someone here help me find some info on this set, and do you think thats this is a decent price?

that looks like it alright. that seems to be the top tier plasma that came out in 2010. Would it be better picture quality than say the ps51e530 on sale in argos at the moment. I know the ps51e530 doesn't have 3d or smart features but not a deal breaker to me. Also i dont think the 2010 model is saorview approved it'd not on the saorview website.
