50" LED 1080P TV with USB ar Frys B&M for $499 only , most likely Toshiba 50L2200

Quote from temp357 : Almost pulled the trigger on this until i went to frys and looked at it. the picture quality sucks.

a totally stellar and highly recommended way to choose a tv. my hats off to you sir, as you are clearly one very highly intelligent individual!

Quote from mylaram : OK I picked up the TV on Friday and I spent closer to 3 Hrs. My first opinion after using it, it is def worth 499$. Nice colours and display. No bells and whistles, you are just paying for LED. TV is thick, bezel is 3/4 inch. TV osd menu is rustic nothing fancy. Only 2 hdmis and one optical out and other basic inputs. I picked up LG 47c565 last week for 499. I have both and one of them has to go, so will decide tomorrow morning. Need to test the LED,s performance in bright day light, my apt has lot of natural light.

Return one of them to Frys ?

Did not return yet. Might put it on CG, someone might love it,

I read Frys does not refund any large TVs - they only will exchange. Wondering if that was true.

This is on Frys website..............

Quote from boklos : Can you tell us if PM worked with best buy? And do you just show it on the website? Thanks Can you tell us if bestbuy PM worked? What dud you need? Thanks

Bestbuy denied the PM telling me that it wouldnt be considered as it was meant to be a limited item. They were looking at the note for "Limit 1 per customer". They also refused to admit that it was priced at $499. I promptly went to Fry's and picked the TV up. 12 hours later I couldnt be happier. I am glad I didnt go for the $329 deal for the LG 40 inch at 720P. I dont care for 3D but once calibrated, this TV is gorgeous.As expected, hi-def videos and Blu-rays pop with the right settings. Like someone else mentioned, its not at par with a Samsung but definitely not the bottom of its league.

Did you mess with the settings or just go by whatever the store put it on?

you did not say frys.com, you said fry's does not accept tv returns. I interpret that to be the store..

Anyone get amazon to PM?...nevermind, doesn't look like amazon is the distributor?

If Amazon price matches, I'll be all over this. No Frys near me and shipping kills the deal.

Has anybody picked this up yet? Can't seem to find many good reviews on it from reliable sources.

I can answer any particular questions you have. I picked it up yesterday. its a great TV, albeit a little thicker than other LEDs. Full HD looks good on it. I've tinkered with the picture settings and it can world of difference. 2 HDMI may be a problem for some people, I have a google tv box connected to the cable box and the home theater system so its not an issue for me.
