Well, then I'm going to state that from here on out to please drop it. Otherwise any further comments on this will be rehashing. So consider that a general warning. =P

 

Mmm... that pic puts me in a mood. You, me, a fire, and some whipped cream.

 

Dat ***!!!!!!!

 

here's the million dollar question...

what are you willing to spend?

don't know where you are shopping, but you need to spend some time an AVSforums and find a reputable dealer.


keep in mind, buying online for a large item can be a pain in the @ss. once they hand off to the shipper and there is damage, it can be a long and painful road to making you whole again. and if you are talking a 500-1000 buck budget, there is no point. No offense, but it doesn't sound like you are a videophile and the panels you are looking at are likely readily available locally. If you need to shop online consider newegg and crutchfield. be very cautious about buying from non-mainstream name venders. Everything from grey market, refurbs, no warranties, to even not getting a full package (not including the stand for example). Always remember you can wheel and deal on a display. I ALWAYS fight for a better price with local vendors. Just ask the guy I buy from at ultimate.

I bought one of my 60" kuros online ONLY because it could not be found locally and I bought two (one for my brother-in-law) and was able to work a pretty decent deal on top of the availability

 

I'm trying to remember the brands to stick with, and I think the Vizio would be one of them. Sony or Samsung would be the others. I'm not going to spend more than $600 for a 42" if possible. I know the accessories will be the other factor.

You didn't know I was half Jewish? LOL I always try to haggle.

 

dont do vizio, walmart house brand is meh... id say stick with a sony or samsung.

 

I like Panasonic

 

dave,

telling you, if that is your budget, buy the panny I linked. You will NOT find a better panel for the money. And for 600, what are you expecting to save buying online? 20 bucks? not worth the headache

Vizio is absolute garbage in that price range. They have a large panel coming out, or is out, that is supposed to be decent, but not for sub 600 bucks

edit:
regardless of what you buy, do not pay extra for 1080 in a 42" panel. You cannot see the difference in a display that small.

 

I still love my 720 panny plasma...4 years goin strong

 

Alright, I'll stick with the 720 and look around. That's why I'm asking so I can narrow down what to look for since there's so damn much info. Thanks, guys.

 

If you still had that nismo v2 kit id trade you my tv for it!

 

First Gear open garage was a good time, another 240z there, red one chatted with a bit....also, one of the instructors from Brainerd I saw win at Daytona in 2001...small world.

 

did you win the free lift time!

 

That's not a fair trade.

 

pff a 1700 dollar tv!

 

My V2 has pits and chips from road rash. Wouldn't be fair to you.

 

I hate Deloreans. I just do.

 

NOBODY HATES DELOREANS!!! LOL, ntm he did invent the muscle car, and the most brazen public case of entrampment ever




Par, unsure of who won what so far...

Dave, I'll take the v2 all chipped up, sounds like a nice project!!!

 

WTF I'm not giving up my V2.... unless someone gives me the INGS N-spec bumper as a trade.

Damn, those cars are coyote fugly.

Not even for a stock painted KYO all chipped up?LOL

My buddy had a DMC 12, and it was hillarious to drive, so underpowered, but in all honesty the gullwings made it worth while...oh btw, it met its end in a 10mph collision that totalled it out...given their choice of building materials!!! LOL
