Sadie064 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Has anyone else had luck getting the price match from Sears on the Aquos - especially now that CC is sold out everywhere? The Sears policy seems to be that the other item must actually be available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barc Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I got mine at Sears. $1299 plus the 10% price match difference. I walked out the door for $1230. I had to argue with the manager and I finally wore him down. Course, this was at 5:00 am this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince24L Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 If my TV is samsung 1080p digital cable box is HD capable but used DVI. Will the HDMI/DVI convertor plug lessen the picture compared to just using a HDMI box. or just the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jl77 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I guess i should post this. AVAILABLE AT PCRICHARDS&SONS (FRIDAY ONLY) : PANASONIC 42" Plasma HDTV reg$1299.97 Sale price 696.97 SONY 40" Bravia LCD HDTV reg $1499.97 Sale price 797.97This deal looks like it's still available, but shipping out to CA is an extra $100. Still a good deal for the Panny. I'm almost glad I missed out on the Olevia 37" from Target, cuz this is a much better tv and a far greater discount. Just in case, anyone have any coupon codes for free shipping or a discount for PC Richards & Sons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2thegirls Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Some how, even though I followed Norm's advice to measure twice and cut once, the new Olevia is 4 inches too wide. I'm tempted to cut a hole in the side and let it hang out! A new entertainment center isn't in the budget right now. Plus, all the junk that has accumiltated in the drawers and cabinet parts would no longer have a home. :eyepoppin :eyepoppin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alimfp Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Our TV wouldn't fit in the EC either. We spent $50 or so for the wall mount thing, did that.. offed the EC and found a smaller media cabinet on CraigsList for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripn Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I hear that..sadly we have this beautiful Oak 3 piece EC bought in the 90's...and it's soooo 90's! Only a 30" widescreen TV will fit in it. The wife refuses to part with the EC as we paid $1000 even though I tell her it's now worth about nothing. I will keep working on a nice 50"+ LCD to hang on the wall...someday she will cave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how long it would acutally hang on the wall!Know anyone that is handy? Because of course you really need to make sure you find the studs in the wall for one.. but then you want to hang it exactly like the directions say (ours was easy to hang, it was just about finding the right height and then finding the studs - which wasn't difficult but I was making DARN sure they were RIGHT there, lol).

Guest amberntony Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 We bought a cute little tv stand that has the mount attached to it. so it is not actually in the wall but it is up in the air like it would be if it was mounted. and it moves so you can angle the tv different ways. it was 300 at american (not on sale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extremesoccermom Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well our TV went out after the BF sales ended. So we have decided we need to get a 32-40" LCD or Plasma tv, home theater and ofcourse a new stand. So should we keep looking now or wait for Super Bowl deals? We were looking at either Circuit City or Sams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byupirate Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The panasonic deal on Sears family day was great but still no TV, they say its coming some day. DOh! I keep thinking of cancelling but it was good deal for $970 , 42 inch 1080p. Anything else still out there worth getting? 42 inch size or 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were looking at either Circuit City or Sams. Keep checking back on gottadeal.com, especially the online deal section for good deals or check newegg.com regularly, they usually have really good deals. Walmart has a 47" LCD HDTV (1080p, but TERRIBLE contrast ratio) for $898 this Thursday (check the Gottadeal.com frontpage...) What is your budget? Do you mind getting an "off-brand" (NOT Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, Samsung, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitWrangler Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 the guy at CC, BB and sams in electronics all told me it makes a difference? and to just get a new box from comcast.?From a video performance perspective, there is no difference, DVI and HDMI are interchangeable (exact same protocol, think of HDMI and DVI as two different physical implementations of a common standard). HDMI is simply more convenient since A) it's smaller and it also handles audio so you don't need sep DVI + audio connections. Any dealer that tells you that you will get a difference in video quality is full of, well, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
money167 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 The 19 inch Sharp from CC online just arrived and love it. I finally have hd and can see the whole picture since the tv is widescreen. Before my ABC primetime shows were cut off since the channel went to HD already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any dealer that tells you that you will get a difference in video quality is full of, well, you know.That's true, though I ran into a problem with this this week actually. I have an older cable box with only the DVI out, and I picked up a tv on BF with HDMI in. What I *tried to do was simply pick up a DVI-HDMI converter, thinking there would be no issue (which there shouldn't be). However, my cable box spits out a message that my television doesn't support HDCP and refuses to output video through that converter, so I have my cable company delivering me a new box tomorrow. In theory though, there should be no problem at all, and if you have a box that's less picky than mine, there might not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
