madurofan:I have a Panasonic Plasma. If you are going to go Plasma Panasonic is the only way to go. If you're going to go LCD then its got to be a Samsung. Period. If you're not a video gamer and your TV isn't in direct sun, I'd recommend Plasma. For the cost difference for a non gamer you'll actually get a better picture out of the Plasma as LCDs cannot create a true black, though Samsung comes the closest if you're willing to fork over some dough for it.Oh and screw Best Buy. I've got the Best Buy story to beat all Best Buy stories. When I was looking for my new TV I swung into Best Buy one night and they had a LG that I was actually impressed with on clearance. Was going to end up paying around $800 for a 48" that was normally $2500+. Well they offered 0% interest for 24 month if you spent $1000 so I went ahead and got HDMI cables and all to get it to $1000 figuring hell if they are gonna give me 0% why not?Well they didn't have the tv they had to bring it in from another store but I had to pay for it now for them to get it so I went ahead and did the whole credit card deal for 0%. Three weeks later after calling repeatedly I find out they sold the tv that I had already paid for to someone else and couldn't locate another one. So I took everything back and told them to cancel the card. Six months later I get a call asking when I was going to pay my Best Buy Card off that was now six months past due. Come to find out the dumb ass kid who did the return didn't ring out one of the items that totaled $35. But now its six months past due, screwing up my credit and they're saying I owe $200. Well to make a long story short, over a year later and numerous letters and phone calls I still haven't been able to get it taken care of and its killing my credit. Screw Best Buy.

You should be able to add a consumer statement to your credit report explaining the situation just call up the credt bureau and ask to do so. Then I would contact an attorney who handles consumer affairs , most won't charge much to just write a letter to the company and sometimes thats all it takes. Thats a shame Maddy ...makes me very leary of Best Buy ...
phobicsquirrel:that is a biggie. nice price to boot. do you have it on the wall? If not I bought my stand for my dlp for 600 and it's a damn nice one but it is overpriced but it one of the best in my opion. I think bello made it or something..
j0z3r:I liked it, it tasted less like a Gurkha and more like a normal cigar, good flavors too.
jihiggs:be wary of any collection agent that seems like a nice guy.
madurofan: jihiggs:be wary of any collection agent that seems like a nice guy.I know, I know. But what can they get out of me by getting me to fax them a letter?
laker1963: madurofan: jihiggs:be wary of any collection agent that seems like a nice guy.I know, I know. But what can they get out of me by getting me to fax them a letter? Well you know that saying about not be able to get blood from a stone...? Don't you believe it, they can not only get blood from the stone, but they can reduce it to tears just before it starts to bleed ! LMAO

Their heart pumps ice water, wait do they have hearts? We should ask Rocky.
rwheelwright:It's worse! $6900 I remember reading that it was going to be priced similarly to other TVs in the same price range but little did I know that they weren't going to be traditional DLP pricing. More like Plasma and LCD pricing at that size range. Too much money for me. I like my TV. I would spend that money on getting a Denon pre-amp or power-amp instead for some awesome sound! http://www.amazon.com/Mitsubishi-L65A90-65-Inch-LaserVue-Projection/dp/B001IAAD3K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1245081100&sr=1-1

Though 65 is really big. I like 50-56. I want a 54 if I had the choice. I hope they will come out with a size in that range.
