TV for gaming, current offer going on....

I was interested in picking up a TV for gaming because right now CC has a no interest financing offer until September 2008 and also you can get a free 8GB Sansa MP3 player too. Not too sure if you'll get both to be honest.... I'll find out.

The TVs I'm looking at are here:

Circuit City

So, from this list, it HAS to be 1080p, suitable for gaming, and preferably a Samsung. LCD monitors that have a 2ms response time but some of the LCD TVs have a 8ms response time.... whats up with that?

If anyone has a suggestion or a better deal going on at another place LMK.... yunginTL you wanna chime in? I've only been with CC for a month, think they'll give me the employee discount with no interest until 2008 and the free MP3 player? Or which ones will I get?

Another thing... I work part time, and I'll be applying for credit, but its gonna be the first credit card I'll have without a cosigner. Probably gonna have a limit of like $500, but whatever it is, its not gonna be close to what I need for the TV. If I get the TV under my mom's credit card will I still be eligible for employee discount (if any) if I'm present at the time of purchase?

I can't answer which TV to get, but I can say that I got my own CC from Wachovia and my limit starting out was $2000, it is not at $3000. This was directly for me and did not have anyone cosign it and I had no previous CC.

CC = credit card or Circuit City?

IMO, this is the best set out there: Samsung 46" LCD model 4661F. Circuit City has it for $2800, Amazon for $2330.

u cant do promotional financing with a CC credit card and employee sale; its basically one or the other. I ended up gettin my tv by sellin someone a 40 in. the next day; they exchanged for the 46 and i purchased the 40in they returned as an open box, and had my manager hook it up on the price, therefore it wasn't an employee sale and i did the no interest financing and now its PAID OFFFF, probably the biggest purchase I made besides the car.

why don't you look at the sony tvs, :wink: we get phat discounts on them...go with the 40 xbr2 comes out cheap as hellll.

If you're applyin for credit at circuit city, good luck, i had my cousin apply and i cosigned for 6 grand, you wont get anything by urself especially since you dont have established credit.

If your managers are nice get someone to buy it and return it, (preferably a 4065f) tell him to hook it up as an open box at cost lol, beat the system. Buying a new one at employee cost is a ripoff...open box or direct manufacturer discounts like the sony is the way to go.

How noticeable will it be w/ a 8ms vs. 2ms? Will there be a lot of lag w/ the 8ms?

I am looking at getting this TV, so I am hoping there won't be a problem w/ the response time:

or this one (I currently have the non-1080P version of this TV so I don't know if I want another rear projection):

http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTE...tion_55to80TVs

Which one would yall get?

Not to hijack this thread.. but I'm looking for a 40"+ if possible for around $1500? Is it even worth looking for one around this price? I'm getting the Elite so I'd want a tv that would work well with that. Thanks!
