momtofour Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Is this better than the Samsung HLS5086W 50" DLP projection tv which is 1159 with free shipping from Amazon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtieraw Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Is this better than the Samsung HLS5086W 50" DLP projection tv which is 1159 with free shipping from Amazon?Have no clue, my guess is that it is close to even. The Samsung has 2 HDMI inputs while the Panasonic only has 1, but the Panny has 2 extra inches and costs 160 dollars less (plus if you search for a circuit city 10% off TV coupon, u can get it for $899). So your would be talking about 260+ dollars you would be saving going with the CC one. Put it like this. If they were both 900 bucks, I probably would leans towards the Samsung (DLP over LCD Rear Projection), but with the price difference I would have to go with the Panasonic. I actually own the Panasonic (Got the Tv for 899 on Black Friday) and the picture is great, I mean have I seen better . . . of course . . . but for the price it is a STEAL to say the least . . . excellent in high def and even regular tv is nice . . . no 1080p on either TV, so only 1 HDMI doesn't really bother me (Component can achieve 1080i or 720p) w/ the Panny. No Screen Door effect with this TV as of yet, so that definitely is a plus being LCD rear projection TV's can have a tendency to have that effect (DLP notorious for the rainbow effect). While everybody was going crazy over those Panasonic plasma's on Black Friday, I just snuck away with this baby and being only 900 bucks it really was one of the overlooked steals on that day and with the Super Bowl comming up I'm pretty sure people w/ a limited budget should really consider this baby if they are in need of a bigscreen (50"+) HDTV. Under a grand, for a quality bigscreen HDTV from a powerhouse in the HDTV game, you can't beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Is this better than the Samsung HLS5086W 50" DLP projection tv which is 1159 with free shipping from Amazon?Nope, the Samsung DLP is definitely better although I would upgrade to the Samsung HLS-5087W which is 1080p.

showtieraw Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Nope, the Samsung DLP is definitely better although I would upgrade to the Samsung HLS-5087W which is 1080p. Yep, honestly the Samsung 1080p was my first choice back in November . . but it was 1500+ back then (600+ more). Just couldn't justify another rear projection TV, even w/ 1080p, giving up that much extra . . . LCD or plasma yea, not rear projection. Really, the steal is the Samsung HLS-5687W they have on Amazon. It is only 109.00 more than the HLS-5087W and gives you six more inches. If the budget is right, I would definitely lean towards that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the Sony SXRD has slightly better PQ but DLP is tried and true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherrymm Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I bought this tv last night. Didn't have the 10% coupon but I did have a $40 off coupon and they took it. And I gotta say...this tv is great! The picture quality is very good. And they sound is great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtdoda Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Did the $40 off coupon come in the mail or were you able to download it? Did you buy on-line or in store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithaca Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 This set seems dangerously close to the models that were involved in the class action settlement dealing with faulty lamps. Panasonic LCD model numbers include PT-50LC13, PT-60LC13, PT-50LCX63 and PT-60LCX63. I don't have all of the info in front of me so just take this as a heads up that you may want to do some more research on this set. Here's a link to the settlement.... http://www.tvlampsettlement.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksOn Black Friday, I ended up going to Ebay and I bought a coupon for like a $1.50 and it saved me $106 dollars so that may be your best bet, I know AAA has a coupon they give out. U just got to look around, they are out there. The coupon states: 10% off TV's priced $199 or more . . something like that. If I run into one I will definitely let you know.

KiriJoan Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 CEAZTMDAZU gets you $100 off "select" TV's, but I can't find a list. That's all I can come up with. The previous 10% off code and the $40 off code have both expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtieraw Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 None of these codes worked. I tried them. I bought it anyway.Sorry to hear that. On Black Friday they approved me for a 1000 dollar CC card, and they had a 0% for 18 months on any TV purchase, but the total purchase value of the TV had to be on the credit card to get the offer. So obviously 999 + tax, was more than a thousand . . so I searched everywhere for a coupon, and couldn't find it. Went to ebay, found one for $1.50, never bought a coupon from ebay, but it was a life saver. No interest on my tv until sometime in 2008. I searched ebay today, I saw some coupons on there for 10% off anything $199 and up (read fine print tho), if u didn't pick the tv up already, they will refund you money if you give it to them in store . . . hell they might refund you if you just show them a receipt and give them a coupon within the 30 day return period.
