I wanted this one: http://www.amazon.com/XVT3D554SV-55-Inch-T...uLED-Dimming-Internet/dp/B0045TYDXC

but it's now over $2K for a new one.

So I'm thinking of getting the toshiba since it's $1299 with free shipping.

Anyone? Plus the toshiba has passive 3D so the 3d glasses aren't powered or whatever.

looks like they have it at the place next to my house. I'll have to go look tonight with the boy.

Why bother getting a 3Dtv?? Overpriced for no good reason.

way too much for me. i'd get something in the 40-50 inch range for $600+ less. anything over 120Hz is a gimmick. remember that the bigger the tv, the more blurry and washed out the picure is, even if the input is true 1080p. especially cable and dvd - it looks horrible at 55". if you game on it, consoles support 1080p, but most games don't support anything more than 720p. 720p doesn't look great at 55". but, see it in-person and figure it out, i just think you can do the same for half price with something else. also, 3D? really?

I've used 3D on my 47" version of the first link in this thread twice since I got it. It might be entertaining for the kids but there's just not a good amount of decent/cheap content out there. Waiting until this is on clearance: http://www.amazon.com/IMAX-Under-Single-Disc-Blu-ray-Combo/dp/B00447G2O8/

I won't be watching cable OR DVDs OR bluray on it.
I have never watched a bluray.

And the room that I'm putting this in needs 55".

I hate 3D, but it's built into the TV so why not.

reasons I "need" this TV
1) 55" is what I need to fit the room it's in
2) DLNA built in so my media servers will share right to it
3) LED with high contrast ratio since my house is super sunny and I can't see the TV screen on my current TV during the day

I just bought this: http://www.amazon.com/Cheetah-Articulating...r_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1322676268&sr=8-5

to mount it to the wall.

well alright. it's a different story if you're sitting 30 feet away from it. DLNA is a must. the price seems high. what are you doing with your old one?

Fuck HD.

for 55" LED, this is a great price. A plasma would be $800

my TV isn't worth anything.. it's a rear projection 48" TV. I'm going to put it upstairs until I figure out how to donate it to something/someone and get a tax write off.

BTW: that TV is $1229 from adorama with free shipping

I'm also going to get long HDMI cable to hook to my desktop.. and hook my iPad to the VGA so I can facetime on a 55" screen.

any TV not hooked up to a PC is false

I have a slightly older version of this beast: http://www.amazon.com/Mitsubishi-WD-73638-...73-Inch-3D-Ready-HDTV/dp/B003JH7KT0

It's huge and we haven't had any problems with it.

youve got to be f'n kidding me... 73"?

When the Ivy Bridge (aka i7-3860) laptop processors come out in the spring, my plan is to get one, ditch my desktop except for scanning photos (need old school firewire) and have a wallmount for my laptop behind the tv.

yeah, it's DLP though. 73" LED is probably a billion gold septims.

73" for DLP sounds about right. Btw, I could output 1080p via hdmi with my phone if I wanted to.

Mine's actually a 72", and it's a few years old. Maybe not as crisp as the LEDs, but makes up for it with pure obnoxious size. Ties together the room (or takes it over completely).

Here you go, problem solved -- $60 for a 52" Sony: http://www.nomorerack.com/savedeals2/index...81&gclid=COmss6-a36wCFUdn5Qod6GersQ

Bullshit link. Auction starts at $60, now a bit more than that :P

Ha, it just popped up in my gmail header ads. I didn't bother to investigate further as I didn't want to give any email info to those scumbags.

Well now they have my spam email address. The sacrifices we make in the name of our rev, seriously.

That was mighty white of you.

Indeed it was...

thread saved

Just paid 265 for a 40 inch 1080 element ghetto chinese tv. Came with a dead pixle.

I just looked at the tv at state street. Cable looked good. wasn't on hd though I think.

hm.. bouncing back and forth between the toshiba and the LG
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Infinia-55LW6500-...onics&ie=UTF8&qid=1322747241&sr=1-1

Ok, I'm going with the toshiba I guess cause it gets beter gaming ratings.

finally.

I thought it was going to get delivered on Thursday since it's going to be here on Thursday, but they can't deliver it until 12/13.

ITT: white people problems.
