Greetings,
Well, if you have been thinking about a new flat panel I would suggest you take a look at the newest LCD model offered by Samsung.
I was going for a plasma (phillips) and as I was walking towards the tv section this thing just jumped out from all the rest. Literally the best picture in the house. I immediatly noticed the blacks. It was actually black! Did not look purple in color. I spent 30 minutes sitting on the floor in front of several manufactures. I'm a Sony man as a rule but geesih, with a 4000:1 contrast ratio this thing was friggin unbeliable. Another nice thing to consider is the speakers. Most are on the side but Samsung put them in the bottom (under the label) with a sound chamber. Sounds wonderful. Not a surround system but this is going in the bedroom anyway. The 55 inch Sony Wega is in the family room.
They had three (3) in stock. Sold all of them by 1300 hrs.
Price? Had them on sale for $2069.00. This is there latest offering. I talked the salesman into another $150.00 off if I bought the four (4) year in house service plan. With tax, lcd tv and 1+4 additional year complete in house warranty the total was $2398.00.
The real kicker? 36 months intrest free! I'm siked to get this hooked up asap. Around $66.00 a month.
I'll give a feedback as time permits. Best Buy has the deals right now but they will end this Saturday I think.
Now is a great time to purchase a new flat panel!
