Zero burn-in. Zero motion delay.

Just have them use their PCs to look up the ad online and they will price match it right there.

Yep, that's what they did for me. I almost bought the LED Light one, because it was on sale for $2499, but I just oculdn't justify the extra $800, figured that be better used towards a PS3/blue ray player

They actually gave it to me for $1620 for some reason. They were out of stock at the store so it's getting delivered tomorrow

I just got a 50 inch 1080P Sammy. Great TV. I got in on Amazon. Not bad comments other than they had us waiting all day for delivery. But it was just before Christmas. Look at their prices. I think for the 56 inch, it's about $200 less that at BB or CC.

Got the TV, thing is sweet, however it's got a minor problem so they are bringing a new one on Sunday. The picture has a little bow to it like ) ( It's really noticeable on 4:3, not so much on 16:9, but it's there and that's enough for me.

Good thing you caught the problem early.

Any plans to get a PS3, or 360 soon?

I'm about to go to CC to pickup the 50" Sammy DLP (1080P). Amazon has it for $150 cheaper. I'm trying to figure out if I should get the warranty from CC or not.

CC:
1. Will give me $200 back towards a sound system.
2. Instant gratification

Amazon:
1. No taxes
2. $150 cheaper

The guys at CC In the past have been willing to haggle because I spend a large amount of money there.

When I was at BB the other day looking, he suggested I buy the monster surge protector. Wouldn't any normal one work?

HD DVR was installed yesterday, so I need to pickup an HDMI cable.

Finally, should I get an upscaling dvd player/hdmi?

I picked it up from CC today. It ended up being $23 more than Amazon after tax with a little bargaining. They didn't have the matching stand in stock, so I am just going to order that from Amazon. I was just watching something on Discovery in HD...it's awesome.

Good deal. CC was going to be about $200 more than Amazon for me before taxes.

Right now on Amazon, the price of the TV I got less than 1 month ago is about $100 less. The 56 incher is about the same as what I paid for the 50 incher. The prices are coming down really quickly.

Congrats on the new pick up. From time to time if I look really closely, I notice that bowing too, but it's only on some channels.

So best buy brought me a new TV yesterday, and it has the same problem. But not as bad. I got Samsung on the phone and apparently their is a 1/4" tolerance in the bowing that DLP TV's will have. My new one is right in the tolerance.

I'm going to give them a call when I get a chance. I'll see if I can measure it when I get home.
