Cam, there are solid good bang for your buck TVs like Vizio and Westinghouse that can provide solid quality, but to compare them to a higher end brand like Sony or sometimes even Samsung is not compatible.
...and I LOVE my Vizio 28" monitor that I use as my pc monitor and TV for my XBox, but I have a higher end Sony Television full LED television and its night and day.

So, anyone receive their cancellation from buy.com on that 298 TV?
that SD thread is hilarious.
And I think top of the line stuff is still worth it two years down the road. I love our XBR5 and the glass bevel is pretty bawse
Very nice living room TV. Gotta realize some of these people copping the cheap BF TVs are getting them as their 2nd or 3rd TVs for the bedrooms or the kids, it's not going to be their main unit or anything.

Oh, I believe it...I guess at the end of the day, it just comes down to what you're willing to pay for a specific item. I personally watch TV, but not enough to justify paying $2000 for a "high-end" one...all I want is a decent size w/a clear picture. It doesn't have to have a bunch of !!@% I'm not gonna use.
BUT, IDK...I've seen more complaints from the "major companies" than anything though....tons in regards to Samsung & LG

Some are deals. Some are steals. I tend to look for models that have been out atleast a year. Youll sometimes see TVs or other deals like garmin GPS' with just two reviews on amazon. You'll often find cameras with model #s youve never heard of. Some that have even been repackaged. Not alot of people even know what the OG packaging looks like ,it a lot of stuff is cheap for a reason. These places aren't your friends.
There's currently a laptop at office depot that says "save $250 bucks". You type in the model # and it only yields results for other BF deal websites. No current reviews on the website. Amazon doesnt specifically show that model# but they have three others that are "close" that are all NOT on sale, and retail for $500-700 bucks. vs. this one for $399 after savings.
I'm having more fun comparing these ads to sites like amazon and seeing if any of this stuff is truly a deal.
So far almost every digital camera i've compared from Canon has been the same at atleast 3 places. Amazon, local camera store, and office depot. One or two cameras is $50 dollars cheaper at one place compared to the other. I guess thats where the true deals are.
It's sad though. Most don't realize that not all SD cards are built the same. Read rates etc.. A lot of those cards are twice as much for a reason, and others are completely barebone cheap for a reason. The average consumer may not even know or care about the difference. Every company out there reminds me more and more of Nike. Crap quality and people just dont care.

it's all psychological. You think you're getting a deal; but you're not. Pay attention to the model numbers. You're essentially buying a bone stock, no CD player, cloth interior with manual windows being dressed up as a fully model model.
IMHO Sony sucks but so do most brands and the suckiest models are what usually ends up on bf sales. They'll put 720p in small font but advertise HD but its NOT FULL HD and most consumers do not know that.
Sleep in, with sites like amazon, you get better deals any given day of the year and dont have to wait in line.
/end rant.

Sony HX800 series(LED, 3D, 240Hz). Most stores had them today for 1500 on sale. They are being replaced by the newer NX810 but really I didn't see much difference. Was able to get one for 1200 for the 46". I have a feeling these are going to drop lower than 1500 at places like Best Buy before the holidays are over, but for 1200 I couldn't pass that up.

if you go with SONY make sure to do your homework on 3d sets. Most of their lineups require a separate 3d emitter for the glasses to work.

Yo sports authority were giving out $10 cash cards for any and every purchase. My friend just kept buying 15 cent pieces of candy just to get cards.

All do, but you are going to buy a starter set anyways that comes with it. Right now it is selling on Amazon for 270 with Alice in Wonderland, the 3D emitter and 2 glasses.
