PANASONIC TC-L55ET5 55 inch 3D LED $900 at Frys B&M

Quote from Aciddrag0n : I've had no luck getting $899 with an account without Prime and trying with an account with Prime. Boths customer service people stated $1138. No options to deny white glove shipping and just get it for $949 either.

Is this a good deal at $959? I think I can get around white glove and just pay $59 for fry's local delivery.

Why not just pick it up if I may ask is that price tax included?

This tv rocks. The only complaint i have is the backlight bleed/flashlighting, but it's a problem with all edge lit LEDs.

I'm moving in 2 days and would like this delivered to my new address. No frys where I am now, and since the deal ends today wouldn't be able to save a few bucks. I imagine the 959 would be tax included.

No Frys near me. The $899 is in store only price and $949 is the online price. Amazon wants to charge me $949 price match, plus white glove shipping for $189 making it the $1138 price on amazon.

Can anyone tell me what "B&M" stands for? Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind, just realize it must be "brick & mortar" aka in-store.

Quote from KingUltra : Frys Las Vegas still had them yesterday. There's also a 60" Plasma for $999

I didn't see a 60" plasma in their weekly ad. Was that a floor model?

Nevermind, found it: http://www.frys.com/product/7062581 $899 in cart.

I decided to take the ET5 back to Best Buy and get the ST50 plasma for $1200 (matched to Fry's) instead. I just couldn't get over the issues with the LED - especially things like uniformity (clouds of light blooming out of the corners), banding, and terrible grays and blacks. There are dark scenes in movies that I can't even figure out what is going on. Anyway, the new plasma was delivered today and - WOW. I had no idea how big of a difference it makes over the LED. The picture is just beautiful - and I really haven't done any adjustments at all.

My biggest concern with the plasma has been whether or not it would be usable during the day in our living room with all of the ambient light. It's plenty bright enough - for our living room, at least. In some ways, it's even better than the LED. There is some kind of filter behind the glass the reduces glare - seems like it is somewhat similar to the stuff they put on people's glasses to cut down on glare. The LED had glare as well, but the way the screen is made you could see rainbows coming off of the glare. So I think this is even better.

Overall I love it! For what it's worth.

X2 pleased at a low price!

its $999 now? dead?

Quote from knightc2 : Screen looks shiny to me. How is this for glare?

I'm wondering about glare too. I have a wall of windows behind me when watching TV. Will this TV be like a plasma with the glare?

Quote from TexasAssassin : The LED's on the edge of the TV overpower blacks, so in a dark scene you have this bright cloudy border and especially in the corner's. In my mind when i buy a tv made in June of 2012 i expect them to work out a problem like backlight bleed by now. I understand all LED TV's have this problem to a extent which is why i am inclined to keep it. What i have been reading around the SD forums is that plasma is the best. So maybe waiting for a Panasonic plasma to drop to this price range is a better option? So the most important question to me at this point is how slick is this deal? Is it good enough to over look that flaw or will these TV's drop to this price range anyway in a couple of months, meanwhile a nice Panasonic plasma hits the $1000 mark around the same time.

I bought this TV with the Panasonic 220 Blu Ray player to match. I paid Amazon price for it as it is still the best deal on the web. You people who got this for 900 and 950 freaking stole it. I'm so jealous.
Your comments scared the crap out of me while I had this on order. I thought I was going to return it before I even pulled it out of the box, but I have been looking for this effect and I can't find it happening any time. I just love this thing. The edges are the exact same color as the center. I took a pic but can't attach it. The thing is, this comes with the back light settings CRANKED up. you have to pull alot of that out in custom picture settings to really make the picture look gorgeous.
