Thread: Ordered Toshiba Regza Cinema Series 55SV670u today

Toshiba: Regza | Models | Regza SV670: 55SV670U

So,

As many know, I've been in the market for a new tv, and even considered FP. One pc of advice I was given was to get a decent lcd, AND a FP. I like that idea, but decided to get a NICE lcd instead of a lower tier model.

The wife is a little po'd that I sold the plasma so quick, so I decided to go ahead with the LED purchase since she has another 5 weeks here after I leave, and I'm not worried about moving the LED LCD.

My choices were:

Samsung 55" 8500 (at $4k dollars, it just costs too much and I don't like their QC)

LG LH90 and LHX (The LH90 is nice, but I hate the look of the tv and they do not separate antiblur and antijudder;The LHX is awesome, but only sold by Bbuy and not worth $1200 more than the Regza, IMHO)

So, I got the Regza from Amazon (onecall) and a 3yr square trade warranty for a great price. This leaves room for the FP if the house has a room I can dedicate.

Thanks to all for the help, and Gregg, please don't kick my butt too hard for not getting another plasma


This is a steal of a tv, got it for $2425 shipped with a 3yr square trade in home warranty.

Good choice. That one was on my short list before you convinced me to go with the Panny plasma instead

Hehe.

I love plasmas, but as someone who seems to keep moving every 2 years, its a PITA! I spent 1.5 hours in BBuy today just watching tv's

I was hoping you would go fp so we could see step by step progress so I could learn.

I am sure you will be happy.

I am still considering the fp. Damn been considering for a year now.

Hehe. Well, if I get the right room and do it, I'll surely take pictures. Until then, I take some shots of the new toy when it arrives next week.

Onecall has been great so far. Called me for followup today, and now I have a tracking number. Tv is moving quick and should be delivered Friday.

Well, I just watched a lot of action scenes from blu-rays like Transformers, and I am not gonna waste your time with a long post, I'm only gonna say:

This tv is the shit! I can say, without a doubt, I am not missing the plasma. Toshiba oughta be shot for selling this think $1800 less than a Samsung 8500 55". What a sick deal...

Looks good. I've bought two Toshibas in the last few months, much smaller ones. Quite happy with them.

When you ship or move that LCD, make sure it's kept upright. Laying flat is asking for trouble.

"sick" deal? Or "slick" deal?

Hehe.

Yeah, I'm keeping the box for move time and will reuse it. It has shock sensors on the box so thats cool.
