Woot for new toys.
 
I just got a Samsung 50" Plasma and the matching Blueray player. I love new toys but me working in an electronics store may be a bad idea :D

Anyone else get any new toys that you're excited about?

+1 wow I thought my Sharp was slim but that Samsung is ridiculously slim!

Latest toys would have to be a 46" Aquos LCD and a PS3 Slim about 2-3 months ago.

I have a HDTV I got 2 years ago that is not even a slim one. But its HD and that's all that matters right now to me.

PColav6 11-03-2009 10:04 AM

I'm $1300 in debt. No toys for me, haha.

Good luck finding anything better than it is now.

Our prices we have for Black Friday are going to be more expensive than our prices now.

Just a fare-warning. Remember that most places have thirty-day price guarantees. Buy it before Black Friday and get the same price if it goes cheaper. But without having to bitch slap some people to get it.

Did you actually get the 800 Series? Cause that thing is bad ass, as long as you don't touch it and realize how fucking hot it gets compared to the 600 or 500 series.

whitestang04 11-03-2009 09:05 PM

Wow a bunch of Sharp fans. Those are all nice TVs.

Yea I got the PN50b860 and it is awesome. It does getter warmer than some of the other Plasma's available but it's still better than the older generations.


For those that mentioned how slim it is the actual depth is 1.2 "

why would that be. that's ass backwards. black friday is a means of emptying inventory for the next production year inventory to come in. one of my good friends got her 52" sharp for just over $400

I wouldn't mind getting a Panasonic or a Vizeo before the end of the year. Maybe a 360 too, we shall see. I love getting new toys, it just rarely happens. My current television is an 18'' Daewoo...I wouldn't mind an upgrade.

Badfish 11-03-2009 10:49 PM

anyone have one of them LED tvs? those are effing sweet.

rebelyell 11-03-2009 11:07 PM

I'm due to get a flat screen, at least a 42". I love the visio. I gotta 36" box TV now and it aint too bad, just too fcking big..

My newest toy is the programable deadlock for my front door. Just punch in the code, no key unless you want it.. My 17 yr old would leave his key under the door mat because either he has no pockets, or they are too low to hold a set of keys. Geez thats inviting a thief in. Everyone is happy. Plus it was fun installing it.. :)

Cause a lot of the times is just like when a store is closing and liquidates everything. They raise the price that it normally would be and then discount it from there. If they make you believe it's cheaper, then they'll get you into the store to buy it and most likely something like a warranty which is pure profit for them. They could care less about selling you the tv, they want to get the warranty out of you. Now I'm not saying everything is like this, but some stuff really isn't that great of a deal.

Last year I was looking at one of the Best Buy black friday deals on a tv and the same tv was at Frys I believe for the same price, but it was that price all the time. Just do a lot of research before you look at black friday stuff.

I just saw a commercial last night for a Vizio 52" LED tv I believe it was.

Are you f-ing kidding me?

Vizio is a fucking joke.

Here's a rundown of Vizio.

No parts department, partially due to save costs but mostly so when you have a problem they can not fix your TV.

They have horrible ratings are far as quality in parts. When I worked for Sears we had one actually catch a lady's living room on fire.

It's the same aspect as in car parts. you get what you pay for. Sure the Pypes LTs are probably $800 cheaper, but good luck on them lasting and fitting correctly.



On another note, I think eventually LEDs will take over the market once they get the refresh rate of the Plasmas. Not the thin LEDs though, those things blow. The halo effect around bright objects makes everything look out of focus and the black levels in them blow. Plus, they're the most expensive. Bad call from Samsung IMHO.

Now the LG LEDs are amazing. Electro-static panel that is actually THX certified as a Surround-Sound TV. ISF certified panel for the most realistic color possible. 240hz standard, and LGs 240hz technology is the best out on the market at the time, and the price tag usually cheaper than the high-end Samsung LCDs. Awesome.

Now the Sharp and Toshiba and the rest are good as well, simply because the offer better lighting with less power and less heat. But I think LG is on the way to success with their LEDs.

I have a 47" LG LED and that thing is amazing. Forza looks like I'm sitting in the car, and all without the blur of my old LG.

I wouldn't buy a Vizio, but for people who aren't videophiles, or really care all that much about quality can at least afford to get a nice sized HDTV. I'm happy with my Samsung LCD. Picture quality is great and $1300 for a 52" 1080p LCD is just fine in my mind.

Agreed, I mean they're not the worst by no means. I mean look at Sanyo, RCA, and Polaroid for pete's sake, they are ten times worse than vizio.

But if you can muster up the couple of hundred bucks more for an LG or Samsung, than it's a much better buy.

How much did you pay Jack?
