Syntax Olevia LT32HV 32" HD-Ready LCD TV - $1098.99 Shipped - Buy.com
Meltz replied to GottaDEAL's topic in Online Hot Deals
I agree that waiting is the best, especialy if you're looking for a larger screen TV. However, at these sizes (32" or lower) it's debatable how much better 1080p is going to look. -

According to this Samsung Guide you'd want a much bigger screen. It says the optimal distance for a 32" screen is 4 to 5' - which seems awfully close to me. -

I guess it depends how far you sit from your TV. I'm considering getting it for out bedroom - the TV would sit about 10 ft. away. -

Besides, this seems to be the better deal - 2" larger, dual tuners and HDMI -

If you read a certain other hot deals site, you'll see droves of people panning Soyo for their handling of rebates. They'll also rip Tigerdirect, so all in all, it's probably not a great combo. I've had decent luck with Soyo motherboards - I know nothing about their TVs -

For anyone living in Massachusetts, this weekend is a tax holiday. If you wait until the the weekend to buy this (assuming it's still there), you'll save $52. -
I think that one is expired, no?

Thanks man. $10 off is better than nothing :)

If anyone has a 10% off HPshopping.com coupon they'd like to pass along, that would really rock my casbah...

Excellent - I'm going to have to convert one of my Chase cards to this one. One of my chase cards used to be a FirstUSA card - I haven't used it in years. I guess I will now :) -
Well, it looks like one of my orders went through, so the coupon seemed to work. As for my computer choice...well... I wasn't actuallying paying, so I figured I'd go for the latest and best...hence the XPS Gen 5. The only thing I'm sacrificing is that I picked a 6800 video card instead of a X800XT. But, I get a $500 rebate instead of a $200 rebate, so it's a wash, especially when video cards drop in price in 6 months.

Yeah... I ordered one on Friday, and got the acknowledgement email right away. But I never got the confirmation email. I called Dell, and they said they had no record of my order. So I tried a couple of times today and didn't even receive the acknowledgement email. Dell, of course has no explanation for this.

Well, I wasn't too concerned about the price. I was told to spend around 3k for this (I am getting reembursed), so I figured i'd get the latest technology, especially since I'll be doing a good deal of signal processing. Also, if I remember correctly, the $300 in extra rebates cancelled out any benefit of getting the 9100. But, I'll check out the 9100 and see what I get. Still, I'd like to know why my orders don't seem to get acknowledged...

Good point. I can deal with pink - just not that much pink. -
Official "Dude I'm Getting a Dell Laptop" Thread
Meltz replied to Brad's topic in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion
My wife's (still weird to write that one!) 700 arrived yesterday and I am thoroughly impressed. It really is a sharp piece of equipment. I am, however, waiting for my backordered 7200 RPM drive to show up from Dell so that I can install it. In the mean time, I'm getting the pink notebook sleeve on ebags for the wife. Obviously, I will not be carrying this laptop!
