I too am interested in the answer to his question.  I can't find any
reference anywhere, even on the Daewoo website, that they even make
this set, but it's sitting there at Sam's Club for $1999.84.

I bought this plasma display from Sam's last Saturday.  Drove an hour
out of my way to get the only one in the area.  Here's what I've
found:
 -- Two (only!) AV inputs:  1 component, 1 composite or S-Vid.
 -- Also, two PC inputs:  1 RGB D-Sub, 1 DVI
 -- Analog TV tuner.
 -- The display looks great, the sound quality of the built-in
speakers is mediocre, but you can add 10W external speakers or a HT
system.  It has an annoying 15-second delay while it "searches" for
inputs when you cycle the input button.
 -- No universal remotes have the codes for the TV.  It does come with
an industrial-looking remote.
 -- PIP functions only with AV input inset into a PC screen (watch TV
while surfing the Web)
 -- No mention of this display anywhere on the internet except two
posts asking about the Sams units.
 -- The manual reads much more like the primary purpose of the unit is
as a computer monitor, which it does well (up to 1024 x 768).  I think
that the TV and AV input functions are incidental, since the typical
consumer would not tolerate the 15-second lag while it sets up for the
next input.  I think these were intended to go into kiosk displays
where the inputs don't get changed very much.

I was going to return it for the limited inputs, annoying lag, and
crappy sound, but I decided to keep it because the alternatives are so
horrible (CRT's are obsolete, projection TV's are bulky and heavy,
other plasmas are twice as high), and the picture remains better than
my dead 36" CRT TV.  I'll do the switching from my receiver and try
not to switch inputs too much from the TV.  And having a 46-inch
widescreen computer monitor is definitely a novelty.  This'll hold me
'til the real plasma HDTV's come down.

I just bought this same model at Sams.  It was on closeout, got
everything but a manual.  I was curious as to the feedback/reviews and
found your comments.  I like the tv but would prefer a nicer remote. 
The picture is decent and the features are acceptable.  I've only had
it for a couple of days but have pretty much figured it out.  There
are HD receivers out that use the db15 connectors, I have a RCA DTC100
that uses it from Directv.  I had a Sony plasma 42" before and this
one is probably not quite up to Sony standards as far as picture goes.
 I got a healthy discount ($1,200) so I can live with this one for
some time, lol.  I tried finding a manual online but have had no luck.
 I already have a Bose surround sound so I've yet to evaluate the
built in sound.  I have a HDTV receiver on the RGB D-Sub, a dvd player
on the S-Video and a video recorder on the component.  You can change
the input from the remote control and bypass the delay when changing
components.  I have signed up for Bresnan cable and will see what how
it functions with that.  With the Sony, I usually had to unplug
components to change which was a pain.  This one is quieter, no fans
which is nice.

BURN YOUR WALLET OR BUY A DAE WOO

YOU'RE CRAZY FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT BUYING THIS UNSUPPORTED PIECE OF
JUNK.  I?VE SPENT 4 MONTHS TRYING TO GET MY DAE WOO SET  FIXED AND THE
WARRANTY REPAIR CENTER CANNOT GET PARTS NEEDED TO FIX MY SET. 
DANACORP IS DAE WOO U.S. AUTHORIZED REAPIR AND PARTS CO-ORDINATOR  FOR
THE TV. I PURCHASED.  (AFTER I SPENT 2 WEEKS JUST TRYING TO FIND THEM
AFTER DAE WOO?S 800 NUMBER FOR SERVICE  FIRST SENT ME TO SOME LOCAL
IDIOTS WHO SAID THEY WERE AN AUTHORIZED REPAIR CTR BUT REALLY WERE
NOT. AND MY SET SAT THERE FOR A MONTH DURING WHICH THEY LIED TO ME
EVERY DAY ABOUT ORDERING & RECEIVING PARTS.)  WHEN I FINALLY GOT HOLD
OF DANACORP A STAFF SERVICE TECH NAMED DANNY  SAID TO ME THEY WOULD
SEND AN AUTHORIZED WARRANTY REPAIR TECHNICIAN TO MY HOME WITH "EVERY
POSSIBLE PART THEY WOULD NEED TO FIX MY SET"  WHEN THEY FINALLY SHOWED
UP,  THEY HAD NOT ONE PART.  IN FACT THEY DID NOT HAVE EVEN  ONE DAE
WOO PART IN THEIR WHOLE STORE.  THE AUTHORIZED REPAIR CTR TECH  TOOK
MY SET  TO THIER SHOP AND ORDERED,  ON THE ADVICE OF DANACORP?S
SERVICE DEPT, TWO PARTS,   DANACORP ONLY SHIPPED ONE OF THOSE PARTS TO
THEM  AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.  THEN DANACORP TOLD THEM THEY HAD
ORDERED AND PAID FOR THE PART THAT WAS NEEDED TO FIX MY SET,  AND IT
WAS SHIPPED AND AS SOON AS THEY GOT IT THEY WOULD OVERNIGHT IT TO THE
WARRANTY REPAIR CTR.    I SAID ? THEN YOU KNOW THE STATUS RIGHT? 
PERHAPS AN ETA??   LINDA  WHITE, , THE PARTS DELIVERY CO-ORDINATOR 
SAID? NO, AND  DHL COULDN'T TELL HER THE STATUS. ?   RIGHT.  I GUESS
SHE  THINKS THAT  ALL US FLORIDA PEOPLE  WERE BORN YESTERDAY.   AFTER
TALKING TO HER YOU WOULD THINK THAT  DHL HAS ABANDONED THEIR TRACKING
SOFTWARE AND RELIES INSTEAD ON PSYCHIC COMMUNICATION.

 FINALLY AFTER 4 MONTHS OF LIVING WITH THE TV BROKEN DANACORP SAID
THAT I SHOULD  JUST TAKE IT BACK.  THEY ARE SORRY BUT THEY CAN'T GET
THE PART.  UNDERSTAND THAT DANACORP IS THE PARTS AND SERVICE COMPANY
FOR ALL DAE WOO TELEVISIONS IN THE U.S. AND THEY CAN'T EVEN GET A
BOARD FOR THEIR OWN RECENTLY RELEASED TV IF THEY HAVE 6 WEEKS TO
SOURCE IT.
