put finger to keyboard and composed:

I am shopping for a plasma TV for my mother-in-law and came across a
Dynex which is $200 less than similar sets by known names.

OK, repair guys, what's the scoop on Dynex?

TIA

If you decide to buy one, hook it up to your PC and capture the EDID.
Device Manager, or your registry, should identify the TV using the A/N
code in the EDID EEPROM. Hopefully the data will identify the original
manufacturer rather than Dynex.

For example, here is a dump of the EDID EEPROM in a HP L1502 15"
monitor:
