    Buying TVs online...

    Well, got my Panasonic TH-50PZ77U yesterday and getting DirecTV HD installed as I type. I was pretty nervous (obviously) about the whole buying online thing but it's seemed to have worked out well. And I paid less than 500 dollars what BB/Circuit City was charging. Thanks for all the help.

    Buying TVs online...

    Sorry, being a girl about this. I know I need to check the tv over pretty good when it's delivered. Should I actually unpack it and turn it on while the delivery people are here? I've just never bought a huge item like this online so forgive my ignorance.

    Buying TVs online...

    Well, I caught the 1599 deal at Frys.com for the Panny 50pz77u and pulled the trigger. Now the worry sets in until I get a look at the darn thing. Hopefully everything works out. Wanted to used amazon but they were still over 2000 on this tv. Wish me luck.

    Buying TVs online...

    I think I'm looking at getting the Panny 50PZ77U. Prices have dropped on some online vendors. I'm hoping amazon follows. I would like a 30 return policy if possible on non defective items. Abe's has a great price but only offers a return if it's defective. I haven't been able to find this tv in...

    Buying TVs online...

    Trying to pick between an LCD (Samsung 4669F) and Plasma (Panasonic 50PX77U). This will be my first HDTV. Wondering which technology or model will be more "future proof". And what do people feel about extended warranties? Thanks.

    Also checking out the Panasonic 50PZ77U. I've never like the glare from the plasmas but the PQ has been great. I'll have to check it out in the store. Anyone have this? I've read up on AVS.

    I can see how it might almost look fake, to a certain extent. The picture was so clear it was scary. Maybe that would look weird after a while. I think I want the matte finish so I think I'll go with the 61 or maybe try the 69. Thank you so much for the help!

    Do you notice the motion blur on the 65? I was really turned off by that one I saw the other night. I'm probably wrongly lumping all LCDs in the same area. I don't remember what make/model that was. I'm guessing some LCDs handle the blurring issue better?

    That's unreal. I see a couple other online places that are a few bucks cheaper but Amazon beats them with the free shipping. I'm just trying to narrow it down to at least the technology I want. Overall I've like the Plasma's PQ, but don't like the reflection. Like the DLP price and PQ...

    I know. TVs are now just like buying computers. Always going to something better than what you buy and what you bought will always get cheaper. I've really never spent this kind of money on a tv before so I'm trying to get the most bang for the buck. I started out the budget at 1000 and after...

    are you saying I should wait a bit? I found the 71 on PriceMad for under 2100.

    Amazon has the 71 at appox. 2350. Our top line is 2000. They have a 69F for about 2000. They seem pretty close. Could I expect a picture close to the 71? Contrast ratio was the only difference I can see in the specs.

    Went to Best Buy today... Looked at West. TX-47F430S-1299 Samsung LNT 4661F-1629 Samsung LNT4671-2799 The 4671 had a Blu ray movie playing and was just unbelievable. Is that because of the 1080p or the 120hz or the Blu ray? It almost looked 3d. Can I get close to that with any of the...
