FTR, help me pick out a TV.

[bode]

see title. Im going to get a plasma/LCD from onecall.com with stars gift certificates. Im leaning towards LCD right now because there a bit cheaper. the only requirements are it has to be 42", have 1080p resolution, and cost between $1k and $1400. Here is the one i think is the best offer right now, and they just dropped the price on it in the last week.

feel free to link any others you feel are better.

[bode]

also, any helpful tips on hooking it up via HDMI and calibrating it would be awesome.

[Phantaroth]

That sounds like a good fucking deal. Have TV prices dropped a ton lately or is their a catch?!

[bigspenda73]

holy shit

I'm totally buying that

[bode]

so its worth it huh? Do i have to get an HDMI cable with it to actually have HD capabilities?

[Reidak]

thats quite an amazing deal

[Reidak]

Won't ship to Canada

[kingnat]

The onecall.com GC worked excellent for me... got a 37" Sharp Aquos... 3 day delivery... OUTSTANDING!!

[bode]

shipped. TY poker!

[Miffed22001]

please tell me it ships to UK?

min for that over here is like $2k....

[Ravageur]

Wow that's sick. I used the Stars 1k Future Shop gift certificate to get that same tv only 32' and I love it. Built in dvd player it came with is very smooth as well. That price is ridiculous, I paid like $1100 for mine.

Looks like I'm too late to the party.

However, I would still like to say that Vizios are THE SHIT!!! Cheaper than the rest, and AMAZING picture quality.

[bigspenda73]

LOL IMPULSEBUYAMENTS

thanks Bode, just ordered it

[UG]

That's pretty sick, Bode, nice job.

Seeing that makes me (almost) want to puke in my mouth with how much TVs have come down over the past year. We've got a 52-inch Sony Aquos in our place, when we got it eleven months ago it was $3250. Now it's $1999, I think.

Ohh well, we've gotten almost a year out of it and we have absolutely LOVED it, just like you'll love yours.

Question. Are you going to put it on a stand or mount it to your wall? We mounted ours over the fireplace and I'd recommend that. You'd think you'd want it at "eye level" when you're sitting on a couch, but seriously, who doesn't watch TV from a "slouched" position all comfortable and stuff? The base of my TV is about five feet off the ground, and with the way I sit my eyes are looking straight forward...

you had better luck than me with vizios. I bought a 42" vizio lcd, the hdmi output buzzed, so i took it back. The next one i got the buttons didnt work on the tv, so itook it back. The 3rd one i got the hdmi buzzed and the picture suxxzored compared to my plasma, so i took it back and got a refund. the prices are good, and the newer models look slick also.but god damn they were a pain in my ass.

[ensign_lee]

That's too bad trik.

I won mine in a sportsbook contest. It works fantastically. I <3 free TVs?

[Miffed22001]

i want one of these



fuck balla's

the jury's still out on this. The way our living room is set up it wouldnt work out that great over the fire place, though i do like the idea. I saw a pretty balla tv stand that basically has a "wall mount" style bracket that sticks up behind it that i think im going to pick up.

[bigspenda73]

post the stand too!!!

lol, I have to go buy a stand before it gets in, fuck, I forgot about that

Well you can use the $100 you won from me in the UT/A&M game to go towards that, no?

Damn...I shoulda hedged out and took A&M +220 on the M/L so that I could win regardless. Stupid me and trying to take +EV situations to the max.

[bigspenda73]

what are you talking about Ed?

Did we have a bet on that game?
If we did have a bet on that game, who won the bet?
If we did have a bet on that game and I won the bet how much did I win?
If we did have a bet on that game and I won the bet for $100 what exactly did we bet on?

OH, THAT'S RIGHT, FUCK YOU T-SIPS. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

P.S.--AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BWNEDZRRRRRRRRRRED

[bode]
