My last plasma just ate the dust(had it for like 6 years)... So I recently picked this up: Toshiba 40"LCD 1080P
It cost $749 plus tax at Costco... With a free two year extended warranty.
I use it strictly for gaming and Blu rays.
Is there a better deal out there??? I have 90 days to test it out and if I find something better I can return it for a complete refund.
Let me know NT... Thanks in advance.

^^^ That sounds like a great deal---what model is it though?. Sounds like Costco is having crazy good sales lately. I think you will ONLY find a better dealonline somewhere, e.g. Amazon.---but probably nothing worth the trouble...

no, you won't need a box, but you'll be limited to the over the air stations available in your area.

Believe it or not, i like the LG over the Samsung. I feel like that a550 from Samsung is nothing special. I like the TV, its great, but the LG out preforms it.

i havn't read any of this post but whatever it is just go with samsung. I work at a daycare and one of the dads is a guy who helps make samsung screens andhe says they got the best technology right now and other companies are buying it off them. the price is very affordable for the picture quality.
he also confirmed that the rumors about sony are true. sony buys their technology from samsung and just slaps their company name on it to boost the price up.

welp i dont really care who slaps what on whoevers technology ... i have a 46" sony lcd ... a big ole sony receiver ... sony surround sound ... a ps3 ...and everything runs perfect ... i have had 0 problems (knock on wood) ... i have grown @%* men who spend thousands upon thousands on their home theatresgetting jealous of my setup ...
that being said, i also have a first gen samsung rear projection that runs perfect and has a very nice picture except for distiguishing darker images ... ialso have a 26" samsung that i use for my pc screen that looks good as well ...
ps... if youre looking for hdmi cables go to newegg.com ... just got my second order of 6 6ft hdmi cables for $60 bucks and they are high quality
