AW your tv
So I think DH and I are the only people who don't have an HD tv...or at least the only people we know....we are planning to buy one. DH won a $250 gift card at work and other $100 one. Wohoo! We were going to wait until black Friday, but we will be OOT and I hate to have to put one in the car and drive back with it, so we may go this weekend. Our budget is $500 and below. We don't have a preference with plasma or LCD, but plasma was recommended to us. Anyone want to AW their TV?
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: AW your tv
Aww thats awesome!
BJ's is having decent sales on their tvs over black friday. . .
Plasma tvs are said to be easier to 'burn in' meaning if you leave it on too long, the image will stay? (This is just what I've heard) But Colors are said to be better on the Plasma
The LCD. . just be careful about what you're buying and make sure to ask about the quality.
IMO. .Id just go to your local store selling the TVs youre interested in and just watch them for a little bit and see what picture you like best.
Another interesting thing I've recently heard about Black Friday TVs / Outlet mall TVs ( do they have those?) Apparently some tv's (like clothing) are made specifically for these purposes and while they are said to be the same tv and look exactly the same. . some of the functions aren't (again, just something I've heard recently)
Anyways. . thats soooo awesome about the winning of the GC's. We have an LCD and I like it. It's in our living room and theres a HUGE difference from it when compared to the older tv that is upstairs.
I don't really know too much about TV's, but I know DH says Samsung is the best one to buy. That's what we have and most of our friends have.
We bought it at Best Buy, the sales associate there knew a lot about TVs and really helped us figure out why one 47" tv was $800, and the other is $1400.
We just got one for the bedroom. Its a Vizio LED - DH said the LED is the best to hang on the wall. He also cautions away from Plasma and says LCD's are the best. I have to say the Vizio is AWESOME. We have heard nothing but good things about them and now owning one we love it.
If you want to wait for Black Friday - can you use the gift card online and just pick it up in the store when you get back? DH wants to get one for the living room and I am trying to get him to wait until the ads come out first to make sure we get the best price. And yes this one will also be a Vizio.
We don't have an HD TV either. I think if/when we buy one, it will be a Vizio. CA passed a new ordinance that says their HD TVs have to become energy efficient by a certain new percentage and Vizio was the only company that publicly said "not a problem." We're trying to wait until the new generation of more energy efficient TVs.
Very cool that your DH won those great GCs! Hope you find something you like.
We just got one when we moved into the new house.....
Its a 46in Samsung plasma TV. After looking at the picture quality, we decided that we could get just as much TV for a better price by getting plasma instead of LCD/LED
I think its this one:

We looked at Sears, HH Gregg, and Best Buy. Sears had the best price, but the TV had to be ordered (it was not in stock), so we took the price sheet to HHGregg and they matched it and took 10% off! I think we ended up paying just a little over $400 by the time it was all said and done.
I have a Sony LCD, Samsung Plasma, and LG LCD. The LG kicks the crap out of all the other TV's I have. My Sony is going on 5 years old and probably will replace it in year or so with another LG.
Do you plan on getting HD service through your cable or satellite provider? If not you will not receive even close to the full effects of having a HD TV. There is a huge difference. Also make sure buy the high def cables that go with it.
