I posted a report a few weeks ago that states that some of the TV makers could pull the plug on aggressive BF sales.

I have been saying this for a few weeks that you may not see the best deals on BF because of the digital switch over and an issue of supply and demand.

Welcome to the community!

right now you can get a 50 inch vizio plasma at sams club for $1096, 42 inch vizio plasma for $846 and both of those prices are the everyday prices.. so hopefully for black friday lcd's and plasma's will be low. last year on black friday i bought my wife a 37 inch sylvania lcd for $499 at Meijers
I LOVE Meijers.... hopefully they will have great deals like last year

Meijer year in and year out has by far the best BF and Thanksgiving prices out there. It is always the first stop both days.
Totally... It is my first stop too and it is soo much better than Walmart

So If I am looking for a flat panel TV for the bedroom(small under 38") What should I be looking for? And what is a good and bad model for price?(Keep in mind I am Tech challenged to the point of institutionalization
)
I'm in the same situation! We are going for a smaller flat panel TV for my parents bedroom and have no idea what to look for! ANY help would be appreciated!!

$700 for a 42" plasma works for me. Not sure I could even distinguish 720 from 1080p and plasma still looks better than all but the most expensive LCDs.
This is a silly question but I want to know, lol.

Do all plasma tv's hang on the wall?
No but it is a common way to display it. Most of them have stands where you can sit them on a TV stand.

I was in Walmart the other night. They have only tubes and LCDs in my store -- a few tubes and a LOT of LCDs. They were running a sports video and I just could not deal with the image quality. This sounds stupid, but it wasn't so obvious that I could see it -- it was just something I could perceive (like the flicker of a fluorescent bulb). I think I would have HUGE buyer's remorse if I replaced my 36" tube (Sony 4:3 SDTV) with one of these.
Having only watched these in a store, I got to wondering if the lighting was the real culprit. Any long time LCD owners who are sports fans care to comment on the viewing experience?
Just to keep this on topic, I predict a $300 37" lcd and a $500 42" lcd for BF.
If you're right I'll probably be eating Turkey Dinner on concrete for that 42"
