StealthTM Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Now I don't know if this is official but I went to my local bestbuy to look at TV's. I noticed something a bit strange...the 56' in samsung was removed from the floor. Which i wanted to look at because I'm planning on buying it. So I go ask the rep and he says they were told to take the floor model to the back and keep the remaining inventory in the back. I asked why and he said he doesn't know but guesses it will be a item on bf because they just received a skid wrapped in black shrink wrap with about 20 of them with an order to not sell any till friday. Now I don't know if he was bull****ting me, so I went to the other bestbuy and their tv was aslo put away. Is this a special item that will be announced????
Guest Macrossmaster Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 No clue there, but 42" Plasmas are available for around 1K now. I know you said you're looking for DLP but I went to check out several today, and cancelled my DLP order for a Plasma. KInd of sucks that they don't have it for you to observe.
Just Me Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Wow that sounds like a high probablity then. Is that one a 1080P? I wonder what the price would be. Is this a better TV than the mitsubishi 65 inch I wonder They set it at $1000 so I can get the $300 off for direct TV and the $100 off the HD DVD player I might have to do that
StealthTM Posted November 14, 2007 Author Posted November 14, 2007 I'm going to check a 3rd bestbuy out and ask the guy I kinda know there what he thinks..I'm sure he will give me a straight answer on what's going on. For some reason I have a feeling this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
Just Me Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Anyone hear anything else about this one? It has my attention

kubla77 Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Thanks for the scoop, Stealth! We are all anxious to hear! The one on the BB site is $1799 with their "sale" price. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8293839&type=product&id=1173577986549 It is 1080 p and gets pretty high reviews on their website. My guess is that it will be on sale for around $1400-1500. Everyone seems pretty unwilling this year to give you the insane 40-50% off deals like last year.

Think the mitsubishi 65 inch DLP is $2200 right now and will be $1499 on BF why would anyone got with 56 inches over 65 if the prices were pretty close. Both TVs rate well. I'm thining and hoping its more like $1000 - $1100
trpleee Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 For a 65" TV you need to be about 10-12ft away or the picture will not look as good, a person with a smaller room should opt for the smaller, and better picture rated Samsung.

Considering the price on the 65 inch, I'm going to say $1300 for the Samsung 56".

Plus this will be a door buster secret sale vs the 65" which is in the 2 day sale. secret sale stuff is suppose to WOW. If it is one of the items I still think $1000 = $1200
cesarcal Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 i got my Samsung 56" DLP around a month and a half ago for $1000 out the door including a very nice stand. Granted it was an open box but with no damage whatsoever. We were supposedly getting a 50" but when we got home and I looked at the model number it was actually a 56" and they had it labeled wrong on the shelf. I told them i had a grand to spend and said if you could get me the TV and the stand for that anount they had a sale. Total with tax and everything $1011.55:D

I would hate to have it need warranty work in a few months and you get hassled because your trying to get the "wrong" TV fixed.

mdm1985 Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Their records will not have a Serial number on it. The only Time a serial number gets recorded on a purchase is video game consoles,( PSP PS3 Wii Xbox360 DS) and Sirius and XM radio Devices. otherwise only the model number will be recorded. The only other time the serial number will get recorded is when you have a service plan and you bring in the device to get it serviced they then enter it in there Systems.
jgilbert00 Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Looks like this may be the one in the ad that starts today thru wendsday! You get the tv xbox 360 and 2 games for $1500.
