I went to Best Buy and they said they are NOT honoring ANY Black Friday price and they did have the TV (same model # as Walmart) for like $719.

I want a 40 or 42 in LCD for under 500 is that possible?

Oh crap........my model number is U2-40S5100, did i get ripped off?

nah you didnt get ripped from what I see the only difference is the usb service port. I cant be too sure as im using a compare on crutchfield and they dont list all of the features. on a side note you didnt have to camp out for it. :D

I looked on thier website and it wasnt there. maybe they carry it in store but not online? and the 500 might be possible, but you get what you pay for.

FYI - Tha panasonic P46U1 46" HDTV Plasma 1080P is selling for $698 now at WM. It price dropped on the 19th from $788.

As others have commented, you get what you pay for. The Panasonic S10 or preferably the G10 would be a better choice.

Anyone in the market for the Panasonic 50G10 can find a great deal at Electronics Expo. The 50G10 is on sale for $1109.88. Unless you're in NJ where they have stores you'll still pay shipping (around $110) but the coupon code LSVXMY50 takes $50 off the price. So for $1169 including shipping you get a hell of a 50" plasma. There's not a better price on this TV anywhere.

I want this TV for my "home" office. I think I will be using it for my Wii or just to watch TV every now and then. My husband says I only need a 32 inch but we have one in the bedroom and it seems so small to me...

I should have been at your Best Buy. I even had the Walmart Ad in my hand and I was told that they were NOT honoring ANY Black Friday prices..in fact the guy treated me like i was asking for his shirt...

ahh just like a woman it's never big enough for you...j/k. The size of the tv depends on how far away from it you will sit. you dont want to be too close or it will seem to pixelate. I think a 40" the closest you want to be to it is 4ft even at that it seems a bit too close to me. My advice buy the 40 change it out for the one in the bedroom at put the 32 in the office.

Thinking about getting a 19" for my daughter. My son wound up with the one for the kitchen and she feels left out. Any advice would be appreciated. She is 7 and a half and won't be using it a WHOLE lot but as I said, she feels slighted.

I'm seeing alot of deals on tvs that I have not heard of. Dynex, insignia, (sp?) others that seem to be lower quality. Anyone know whether these or Westinghouse, Sylvania or any good? My son has saved his money to buy his own tv and has been dying for BF to get here. His room is not large burt does play Wii on it. I was shooting for a 32 for him.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

the sylvania is a combo??

What's your son's budget? If he's primarily playing a Wii then he doesn't need a 1080p resolution TV since the Wii is only 480p (compared to 1080p on the Xbox 360). This is good for your son since all the low end, off-brand TVs you're mentioning are 720p.

Newegg is having a sale on the Panasonic VIERA 32" 720p LCD HDTV TC-L32X1 for $369.99 and that includes free shipping.

Thanks for replying.

 

I am definitely looking for a 720. I think he has saved about 325.00ish. He does watch tv also but its all about power pros, Tour of Duty and Madden 08.. lol

 

What about that Sylvania at Kmart? Crap or half decent?

Posted

You should look at the DX-32L130A10 at best buy. It's $300, but, if you buy it via shopdiscover, it's only $270. I saw the Sylvania today and the Dynex looks better.

I like this one.. How do I do shopdiscover? Never done it. Thanks btw and my son thanks you.. lol

Yes, I just bought the 54G10 last Sunday. http://www.snay.org/smileys/yahoo.gif

 

The TiVo offer started today and replaces the free Panasonic Blu-Ray player that was being offered before that. The sale prices on the G10 models at Amazon have stayed the same. If you're in the market for a TiVo HD then it's a great deal but if not then consider the prices at Electronics Expo and do a google for their coupon codes to help offset the shipping.

Can you share with us your thoughts after a week or so with your 54G10 from Panasonic?

It's an incredible TV. I spent a solid 2 months researching HDTVs. First started out with comparing pros/cons of LCD vs. plasma vs. LED. Once I decided on a plasma then I had to decide on the manufacturer. Wanted something in the middle to upper range for quality and craftsmanship and that quickly narrows down the field to Panasonic and Samsung. I went with Panasonic because I consistently found very positive reviews from owners and experts. What turned me away from Samsung was that many of their models are being discontinued and replaced. I was also wary of the buzzing defect that many owners experience.

 

At first I started with the S10 but after a little research it was clear that for just a little more money and a lot more in features/quality the G10 was a better choice. Had my heart set on the 50" but then last Sunday Sears had the 54" for $1260 which was the same price Amazon was selling the 50" (although that one came with a free Blu-Ray DVD player). I didn't need another DVD player so I grabbed the 54" from Sears and there you have it.

 

If you follow the BF ads you'll see that the box stores aren't giving deals on the quality HDTVs (and by quality this means you can ignore Walmart and Sams Club altogether). If you want the G10 then currently your best bets are online at Amazon, Electronics Expo, and most likely Newegg (however their BF ad isn't out yet). And check your local dealers to see what offers they have (but places like Best Buy, Sears, etc are focusing on the lower quality TVs to clear inventory).
