Best part about my DirecTV, grab the generator, grab the small LCD and take it with me to tailgate at Bucs games on Sundays.

I used to work at best buy for about 9 months and all I have to say is dont buy accessories there. The markup on that ***$ is ridiculous. Rocketfish brandcables that we sell for 64, we get for four bucks. Any surge protector we get for about a fourth of the price. Remotes, I would get off of amazon. Anythingthat is not a tv or or surround sound I would straight up buy else where.
On a side note, the new 120 hz samsungs are amazing.
BTW, Harmony remotes are also amazing, but not for the price best buy sells them at. AMAZON FTW!!!!

This is what I'm working with
Phillips 32-inch 720P. picked it up when BB had their BF sale for $599. pretty happy with it so far.
Actually in the market now for a TV stand/entertainment center. At first I was going to mount it on the wall, until I noticed there were no studs near where Iwanted to hang it
.
Anybody have any recommendations as far as where to buy nice looking stand??

TOMMY...
cheaper because they arent as up there in quality as samsung, panasonic, sharp and so on.
Insignia panels are made by LG though.
get at me tommy if youve got your credit card or your money right, i might be able to cut you a sick deal depending on how much money we're looking at.

I am looking into getting a Samsung LN40A550. I have been on avsforums and have heard nothng but good things about this set. I willprobably be ready to get it at the beginning of August. I am hooking up a PS3 and an Xbox 360 to it using HDMI. Also I will be using an HD cable box. I knowI will get my HDMI cables from monoprice.com but what exact cables do I need to get? Someone point me in the direction because there are a few different kindsthat they offer. Also do you know of a stand that will hold the TV and the 3 items I mentioned underneath the TV comfortably and is a good price? Thanks forany help.

IMO, don't bother getting the $100+ monster cables... absolutely not necessary... go with the cheaper cables...
Took the plunge for the bedroom to remove an old CRT.
We got the Samsung LN32A450 and I couldn't be happier.
Good enough deal too.
BB price matched a local Fry's over July 4th weekend. Plus the 10%.
Had a $100 gift card so I had to do it.
Probably going to wall mount this, but thus far it's been great.

I just bought a 32" Sony Bravia (dont have the model # on hand at the moment because im at work but ill look it up later)
anyway, when i turn it on the picture color is all messed up like a water color painting or something but after about 15-20 mins the picture is fine. but if iturn my Wii on for example the picture is fine
so im assuming this has something to do with the cable coming into the TV...is this a valid guess?
im at college with no HD just regular cable coming from the wall to TV
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

Agreed. Monoprice is really legit too. I picked up some component cables from them for my Wii, $7 shipped.

Looking to get a 42" HDTV.
LCD or DLP?
Vizio, Samsung, Sony or...?
Is there reeally a difference in branding or is that all a pissing contest amongst label minded individuals?

- Well, to start Sony + Samsung don't make a 42" HDTV. So yo might have to get either a 40" or 46".
- If you get a Vizio get a Protection/Service Agreement. While Working at Sears I notice that we get a stupid amount of Vizio returns .
- Get that LCD cause DLPs are on their last legs.
- I suggest Samsung but to be honest you could get a Sony too cause their rankings are really interchangeable.
- If you want a good bang for you're buck try messin' wit a Toshiba. They're like #3 among HDTV brands IMO. (Plus they make 42" TVs)
- If all else fails hit up Best Buy/Sears/Circuit City etc. for closeouts/open box policies.
Hope that helps.
