720p at 50 inches seems awful. this price isn't even luke warm to me

Yeah change your title. Your second choice 1080p @$522 is the much better deal.

I can get that 1080p for $498 because of a gift card balance.... I wonder

Edit: Well $483 with a small cash back.

wow, shop discover lowered their cash back to 5% for this sale......................

it's not, unless u plan on wearing the TV like glasses

and as far as price where do u see, how often do u see a 50" plasma for sub $500?

they are nice TV's too. The slim LG design, lots of easy to access and use picture tuning menu. Almost jumped on the 720 earlier tonight for a third HT setup in the FR as I have the 42 Z/LG in the BR and it's fantastic for the $ I paid
which is about the same now after discounts and cashback

BTW I also have a GT Panny in the LR HT.

do it. You will not be sorry. Turned a buddy on to the BF deal on the 50" 1080 and he is still beaming about the PQ for the $

Simply can't be beat.

anyone know how long the warranty is on these and whether it's worth it to get the Sears extended warranty?

One year like all of them. Get the Square Trade 2/3/4 year if you are goung to get anything.

I personally statistically don't see the sense on electronics under $500, so I don't.

Did get an SQ on the big Pan tho.

Btw did you read the fine print on the coupons?
Don't by any means let that be a dealmaker- practically useless...

and yes 5% CB. If it was the 10/15% The Z would have got bought. No rush for me I don't even have the fam room done yet so I'll keep riding for the 499 1080 price to happen again

or the $800 no ship/no tax 60"Z/LG to pop again which is what I really want to score, but I really don't want to spend that kinda coin for the FR (read: KIDS movies/HT) entertainment/family room

thing is because of the margins the 50" 720 never drops below 469 whereas the 1080 hits 499 3-4 times a year. Sooo....if you demand the 1080 (necessary or not) and you're patient...

sorry, you lost me with this : "Btw did you read the fine print on the coupons?

what about the fine print?

Got the 1080p last year from the BF deal for $470 taxes and shipped. I was blown away by its picture quality and it must have been the best deal I've bought in the last few years

bought the 1080p set a long time ago (before x-mas) for $499 minus 10% coupon plus IL tax but 15% back discover card cashback. Fabulous price for a decent set...

This seems to be one heck of a price on the 1080. I am thinking of buying this as a gift for a relative that wants to put a TV in their garage. They live in the north east and this would be an unheated garage. Nice garage, but unheated. Would the cold weather ruin the TV? Another worry would be a possible "glare" issue with this TV being a plasma. What do you think? Does anyone know of a good wall mount bracket that would fit in a corner? I ask because I believe they talked about putting a TV in a top corner of the garage. They would be attaching the mount to cement block. Thanks for the help.
