Hey, i couldnt find a place to put this, so if it isnt th eplace, dont flame me
i am going ot buy a TV soon, and i was wondering when is the best (cheapest) time to buy. are the prices gonna be the same for a couple of months, or will they drop
also i am thinking of buying a 42inch. now with 42inch does it matter if i get the 720p or 1080p. i heard that it makes no difference, but i want your real opinion, b/c ill eb buying a PS3 with it

- The best time to buy is 40 days after the super bowl but certainly keep an open eye
- Best place to compare prices will be www.amazon.com
- I don't like to mail order large TVs
- Best place to buy is a local electronics store such as: Fry's, Best Buy, Circuit city etc.
- Keep an eye on Sundays News papers for best deals
- Go back and compare against amazon prices
Best quality:
- 1080p
- 1080i
- 720p
LCD or Plasma
This depends on models and how much willing to spend
- I like Panasonic Plasma as ultimate #1
- Sharp LCD
- Samsung LCD or Plasma
- Pioneer Plasma
- Sony LCD or Plasma
Best cheapest plasma AKAI for its price
check: www.ecost.com
Best choice for Broadcast
- Digital Cable tripple package
- Verizon tripple package
with choice of DTV satellite or FIOS
- Dishnet new HD MPEG-4 1080i service
- Always ask your provider for OTA HD channels FREE (may just pay for antenna)
Competition changes month by month
But these are my choices as of 2008 |

Because your PS3 can play Blu ray disks the best bet is to get a 1080P display that can play frames at 24 per sec, or native film match.
When to buy is a loaded question. For me , its when 10 lumen per watt technology becomes commercially available for plasmas, but I doubt that means squat to you, and it may be meaningless in reality for you as well, meaning of no value.
There is a bunch of shelf clearing right now for the 2008 model series for plasmas and LCDs. You should start seeing deals on 64 series Sharp LCDs for instance right about now. |
