TVs that you still aint talk about.

*points at line in sand*

why bother?

you don't like things like facts.

besides, unless you really are an idiot, all the tvs I've mentioned are in that list.

real talk.

to make a personalized recommendation

and #2 I wouldn't want to do it, because it's not my eyes that will be watching it. the only person who has to enjoy it is the buyer.

I might cop a cheap samsung plasma this year and come back for a 3D joint in 2011

They do have a nice Samsung 58 inch plasma at Costco for $1600.

I've had my Panny for about 2 years and haven't noticed the black levels getting lighter. Then again I don't watch it 8 hours a day either.

While I'd be careful, I'd still get another one (and am debating it now)

I've been thinking of upgrading to something a bit heftier of late too.

Currently got a 37 inch Hitachi plasma. Wouldn't mind something approaching double that size......

http://www.vizio.com/vf552xvt.html - it's like $1700 some places.

It's now between this and the Panasonic plasma. My current TV is a 52 inch Vizio and I love it so I've become a fan of Vizio. Their new LED tho has me wondering.

shit now as it is

I just copped a 32 inch lcd to replace my crt that was dyingout cuz it was on sale but believe, this fall i'ma be 3d'd out

the samsung one out already is

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

I was thinking one at that size would run me well over 3gs.

supposedly

just look at the price of last year's samsung tvs now.

wait till next spring and you can definitely cop for the low

I almost bit. I'm trying to hold out now for the 3-D joint. Brandsmart be having serious deals these days. My boy bought that 55B8000 tho last week. The picture is nuts. The Samsung 55C7000 3-D is supposed to be coming tho and if I find a deal on that I may cop... unless my wife forces me to get a new fridge. She wants one of them expensive ass french door fridges with the freezer at the bottom. And the one she wants is like $2100. I'm like wtf.

Let me know, 'cause that's the baby I want to adopt.

it's the basis for my arguments of LED vs Plasma with RJCC....

yes it's only one LED, it was a store displya, but it's still fuckin sexy as shit.

I've seen it hit that sweet point once on slickdeals, shoulda jumped then, cause the supply was so limited. But didn't have the cash at the time, and the creditcard I had woulda covered it, but killed me on the back end.

I really hope it hovers down that way again.

That damn 8000 had my jaw drop even watching espn. It's a lovely ass tv.

there's me with reason and information and you with stupidity and ignorance

but it looks like rjcc already mentioned it. i mean what the hell is panasonic doing? i bought my panny plasma specifically because of the good black levels. luckily i did it before this crap about them increasing automatically, that is, i have an older model. anyway, many people buy panasonic for the same reason and instead they kinda get duped.

Only does 480i/p and 1080i and doesn't have HDMI ports. And the colors aren't aligned properly anymore (I've tried fixing this to no avail). It's a 60 inch rear projection panasonic and it's about time to put it out to pasture. I might wait until the 3DTV's drop before copping a flat panel.

Now taking donations for the "Gimme a decent TV" fund

Overall, I'm pleased with it. Was a good option I feel with my budget. It costed 4 bills at Best Buy.

couple years ago around the holidays, after my little westinghouse got stolen.

It's still rockin' steady.

and it had a problem with a fuse and wouldn't turn on half the time.

amazon had a 32 inch 1080p lg on gold box sale for 380 a couple weeks ago so I copped it for the time being.

I figure i'll get a 3d tv later this year

I didn't like it when I saw District 9 displayed on it in the store, but when I saw that running on Hancock bluray... that shit looked nuts.

making movies look like soap operas is the opposite of good.

My buddy copped one of the Samsung ToC LCDs with that 120hz shit He was happy as hell. I was like a'ight son... and went home to a better picture on my 720p plasma

If you like it, fine. But I don't need anything shot on film, which shoul dlook like film, to look like live video (if that makes any sense)

>If you like it, fine. But I don't need anything shot on film,

first off I thought I was watching theatre. Then megan fox showed up and I DIDN"T RECOGNIZE HER because it's that accurate. Like no airbrushing (unless that's possible in dvds).

Then. You can completely tell it's a movie set too.

Like I like how movies can be immersive but the samsung 8500 is some other shit entirely.

but it took some getting used to...if I even did get used to it.

the stores aint got 'em anymore it seems.

sorry goose.

Mainly Panasonics and Samsungs and an occasional Pioneer top end joint. I feel somewhat overwhelmed in the store that I'm not going to make the right purchase. But I'm leaning toward a new samsung 3-D joint.

best buy was gettign scant too....not as much as Target but still.

anyone ever heard of Media Markt or had dealings with them? a quick google search named them the Best Buy of Germany, which is comforting, i guess, but i am still a little afraid and here is why:

i am looking at Panasonic G10s right now because the 42" is in my price point -- $790 on Amazon with free shipping. after speaking with a friend who works in AV, he suggested to look around and see how much the extra 4" would cost me. if i could find a deal for $100 or so more for the 4", he said it would be worth it. so, in my search tonight, i find that Media Markt has the 46" version of the TV i was considering at $840. this has no tax add on and the shipping is free. not only that, i can pick FedEx or UPS Express for no charge.

great, right?

concerns:
- the website looks a bit chincy. it works fine and i have ordered dvd collections from worse site with good results, but this is a significant purchase for me, so i am nervous.
- the confirmation page doesn't fill me with confidence:
>>Prepayment Goods will be delivered after the Orderamount has been transferred to our account.
>>If all the information is correct, click on the Print button and fax us the receipt to (888) 508-2597. ATTN : Order Departament
i have never had to fax an order for proof of purchase, so that seems weird, not to mention the misspellings and weird grammar.
- this really does seem too good to be true.

who knows, maybe this is just warehouse they ship out of in the states?

Not something i would suggest

the price was tempting, but the site was wrong. all sorts of wrong. i will cop the 42" for good money and be just as happy.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/191126/samsungs_3d_glasses_fast_fitted_but_only_for_samsung_tvs.html

and yeah samsung charges 150 for their glasses retail, but if you buy the player and the tv at the same time you get two pairs free plus monsters vs. aliens, expect a lot of packins like that at first. panasonic is doing a similar setup with best buy, selling it all as one.


they also charge 80 for a wifi dongle.

they like to jack the price on the accessories, and until there's 3rd party competition, they will.

I have too much fam coming through.

If you got a hhgregg near you, you're in luck. It's only instore.

but where's the content?

There's Avatar, a few PS3 games, and what else?

Still waiting for the Vizio jump off.

I'm kinda anxious to get my hands on killzone 3 just for the 3D factor. I wanna see how that's going to unfold.
