scottmlee Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 The one from the secret sale on sale for $1199. What does everyone think?Thinking about buying it, saw it as BB today at it looked great. The reviews on BB.com seem to very positive. But wish I could buy the package deal for $1199 and then get a refund for the installation as I am able to do that. Currently if you buy the TV with no installation all you save is $50, the price would be $1149:(. Would save another $150 if it is possible? Anyone know if this is possible? Debating on buying the 42" 720P Panasonic instead. Any thoughts on which is better value/TV? Thanks in advance
kubla77 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Go see this TV in person. I went to see it, and I have to say that if it is ANYTHING like the one at display at my BB in Michigan, AVOID THIS TV AT ALL COSTS!!!! All the TVs on display receive the same HD feed, and this one was fuzzy and looked like a bad standard def TV. I was thinking about getting this TV myself before I saw this. I laughed out loud when I saw the TV, the fact that it's listed as 1080p is some kind of cruel joke. Again, AVOID THIS TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kubla77 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 And on the BB website, it says that the cost with no installation is $1149, so I'm guessing that is the price of the TV on BF, no reason to think that they will give you more money off minus the installation.
cpthnsolo Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Go see this TV in person. <snip> I laughed out loud when I saw the TV, the fact that it's listed as 1080p is some kind of cruel joke. Truer words have never been spoken. Folks it's worth researching the TV and monitor models before pulling the trigger on BF. What's the point of saving $200 only to settle for a base model TV or some off brand with subpar clarity? In particular I've noticed over the last few years that the LCD computer monitors that they blow out are always off brands and models that they usually bring in for BF only. I foolishly bought their 17" LCD a few years ago (it's a MAG-Innovision) and the quality of the picture is noticeably different when it's next to a better LCD. I've since replaced that monitor with a much higher quality BenQ that only cost a few dollars more the next year through buy.com :^). When it comes to buying something you're going to stare at for a great number of hours is it ever worth sacrificing quality to save a few bucks? -Timothy
