42" Samsung 720P Plasma $399

[Heath Ledger]

I bought it last week at Fry's electronics. You can do it online, add it to cart then create an account and at checkout you will see the discount. Not sure if its expired though but for $400 this deal can NOT be beat.

[MannyIsGod]

That is pretty solid. Good job.

Why don't you tell us how it is once you get it... without being bias.

[Wild Cobra]

No longer available. Must be a closeout sale.

SAMSUNG PN42B450
42" 720p Plasma HDTV (http://www.frys.com/product/5868593?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG)

Congrats. Maybe you got the last one.

[Heath Ledger]

I am absoultely thrilled with this purchase. Im going to use it as a computer monitor and part time for my ps3. I cant really tell a difference between my 40" lcd 1080p and this 42" 720p. I definitely feel like i got a great deal.

[Heath Ledger]

Looks like it was a closeout to make room for their new model.

don't know much about Element, but this is a good deal for $479:


Element 40" Class 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV

me personally, for watching sports in HD, I have to have the 120 speed

I think you did. :tu

[MannyIsGod]

You got a great deal, imo too.

I dunno how much you'll like it as a monitor though. My 15 inch laptop has what is basically that resolution so yeah, I dunno about a 42 inch TV screen with that resolution but it should kick ass for your PS3.

One bit of advice, I know they have pretty much gotten rid of the burn in factor on plasmas but I'd still run that baby for about 100 hours with a burn in disc/program before using it with a computer or PS3 for any length of time.

[Heath Ledger]

Yeah im running it at a lower intensity as far as brightness goes for now. Hdmi out from my pc or my laptop gives this one hell of a picture as both have pretty solid video cards. It's pretty sick when you think about it that 2 or 3 years ago this TV would have cost close to $2000 or better.

[Heath Ledger]

It does also have some anti burn in features running on it.

[resistanze]

Great deal. I bought my 37" 1080P 6 months ago for $399. But it's for my bedroom so I probably wouldn't get any bigger. I'm still trying to find an articulating arm bracket to hang it in the corner of my room.

[Drachen]

I believe this is the model I got from best buy (under the insignia name plate), it is a great TV. It does have a few different burn protectors (pixel shift, etc), however, unlike old plasmas, you can go touch the screen and not even feel heat at all. They have lowered power consumption as well. Got mine for $420 and the actual samsung has a few more "ins" so that is a phenomenal deal (especially since at the time I bought the Insignia (2 months ago), the samsung was $490.

It's pretty sick when you think about it that 2 or 3 years ago this TV would have cost close to $2000 or better.and we can thank the 3D fad for bringing that price even lower as we go

[MannyIsGod]

The funny thing is I can't recall ever talking to anyone who actually wants/likes the 3d shit. Who are they aiming for and who is buying this crap?

Why, people with super eyes, of course.

Cause no one wants to wear those faggoty glasses to watch TV. Although there is a company that will soon be making 3D TV's without the need to wear anything.

eh, I think I will skip this round of TV upgrades and just save the money I would have spent on it to put towards the next round the home personal holodeck.

:lol you know how much a tv like that costs over here? around U$2500. Our piece of shit government taxes the shit out of electronics imports. You know, to protect the local industry... that doesn't fucking exist.

Dang it, I have something funny to say, but it would probably just incite anger.

Sears has them. If not at a local store:

TV Mounts and television accessories at Sears.com (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/s_10153_12605_Computers+%26+Electronics_Television s_Accessories?viewItems=21&pageNum=1&sortOption=ORIGINAL_SORT_ORDER&&filter=Accessory+Type|Mounting+brackets&lastFilter=Accessory+Type&adCell=WF)

Referring to yourself? With that 11.6" laptop. Your pixels are actually a little smaller than a 17" WUXGA screen.

I should've been more clear. I've seen some articulating arms in person, I'm just trying to get a good price for them. I really don't want to spend more than $40 bucks total.

I would jump on this if I was in the States. Unfortunately, shipping is expensive from monoprice to Canada.

[RoddyBukkake]

the new deal is a 50" Samsung Plasma for $549 @ Fry's

[Heath Ledger]

Do you have a link for the $549 50"?

[Wild Cobra]

I didn't see one online. I'll bet it's one of those newspaper ad specials where they only have one in the store for that price, just to get people in.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What is really gay is that online I'm seeing a better price for the new updated (3D only) version of the tv I want rather than the 1 year old non-3d version.

Makes no sense. My logic tells me this first generation 3d bull crap should cost way more :wtf
