I don't know much about them. I'm thinking something between 37"-42"....I was thinking of a 46" but that's just too freaking big for my small apartment. I'll primarily be watching basketball and don't want to spend a lot of money on one....I'm thinking of a Sony Bravia S-Series, at the Sony Store they're only like $599 for the 40" and $799 for the 46" (that 46" would be sick in my studio apartment though but I don't think there's any way it'll fit in my car). Costco is probably the other place I'll look....leaning towards Sony, Samsung or LG as I hear good things. anyone have particular recommendations? I'll probalby buy a PS3 so I can play blue-rays on it. and I guess I'll have to get DirectTV HD too....we'll see..don't want to spend a lot of time on it though.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. Sony's are the best imo, but they definitely aren't the cheapest. You could probably save money with a Visio or Panasonic. Check the prices at Video Only too.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. oh, i'm in LA now. I'll probably end up with Sony 40" though...I've had good experiences with their TVs throughout my life. If I can find someone who will deliver a TV, maybe I'll get the 46".
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. Vizio's are good on the cheap side, the picture quality is still really good, my sister just bough a 40 inch 1080p for 499, which is a fenomenal price
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. Copped a Sharp Aquos last summer. Love it. I had one small problem with the power supply and Sharp sent a tech to my house to fix it, then extended my warranty an extra three months for free. Got mine at Costco.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. Yeah. I heard a few years ago a bunch of the Vizio's just straight up bunked out on people right out side the warranty.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. Costco is always a good place to buy...i really like buying from them because they stand behind their product.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. Really??? i bought my vizeo 32 inch two years ago, still going strong
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. You're right. They do. Even if the manufacturer doesn't. In my case though, I called Sharp, got a friendly woman on the phone who resides in this country who was very helpful. Warranties are important with expensive shit like tv's.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. As someone who has worked there they treat their employees really well also (pay well, good benefits, etc.). I buy as much as I can there. However, be warned, electronics returns aren't what they used to be. You now have 90 days to return TVs, cameras, computers, and mp3 players. After that, you have to go through the manufacturer with problems (they do add a second year of manufacturer's coverage for free). Too many people were abusing the return policy (I saw it first hand everyday) and it was changed. I have a Vizio 42" I'm happy with. If I had it to do over again I would get Plasma though. It's better for sports and other things with a lot of movement. This Panasonic seems like a pretty good deal.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. I have a Sumsung 42" Plasma...great tv. I've heard that 240hz in the way to go for Sports. I have 120 and it's not that big of deal. Little bit of ghosting.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. Sears has a Panasonic 42" plasma, 1080p, 600hz subfield for $649 today. Take an extra 5% off that instantly, if you don't do financing. Edit: Oops, already posted. But yea, check out slickdeals. Edit 2: If you're getting Direct TV, check this out: http://www.bestbuy.directv.com/DTVAPP/index.jsp It requires a two year contract, I believe.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. I would look at a plasma. Plasma is a better screen for sports because it handles fast movement better than LCD screens. Check out this chart, it will help you find the screen size that is best for you. If I remember correctly sports are recorded in 720p.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. There is no such thing as too large a t.v. Let it cover the wall.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. If you're looking for cheap, stay away from Samsungs and Sonys. Those are the highest quality HDTVs out there, but you're also gonna pay for it (money-wise). I'd echo what some other posters have said. Costco is a good place, as is Frys usually...and Slickdeals often posts outstanding TV bargains.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. Just buy the cheapest TV you can find and buy an extended warranty.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. I'm hearing mixed things on Plasmas.....one of my friends who is big on Home theatres said for my uses, panasonic plasma would be the best.....dunno....then my brother laughed when I suggested I was getting a plasma due to their longetivity.....
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. everybody has a different opinion when it come to TVs. All I know is that I bought the cheapest TV I could find 5 years ago and the thing still works like new, no problems ever. It's not even a brand name TV.
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. Cnet.com man. Great place for reviews. amazon.com has plenty of user feedback too. Here's mine: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-PN42B...ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=tv&qid=1262553594&sr=1-5
Re: Televisions: recommend one that is cheap and good. Also, I go over my friends houses and they have nice, brand name shit. The picture on my screen always seems better than all of theirs.
