Samsung 40" 1080p 60Hz $420 + store pickup SEARS

Quote from Parachute07 : Really? I only went through 5 pages of deals, so this is just in the past two weeks. You'll notice that only 3 out of these 11 are greater than $300. I am still baffled as to how anyone thinks $420 is special for a TV with these specs. Don't get me wrong -- I appreciate a good TV. I have a $2K Panasonic plasma and I seriously considered the Samsung plasmas the same year when I bought it. But at this level, this TV shouldn't cost this much more than similar TVs from other manufacturers. There are 40" TV deals almost every day (as evidenced by the fact that I listed 11 deals from the past 2 weeks alone). This TV doesn't seem like a deal at all. http://slickdeals.net/f/5027712-W...ations-299 http://slickdeals.net/f/5025116-P...e-shipping http://slickdeals.net/f/5021136-J...-399-99-FS http://slickdeals.net/f/5020452-P...ger-Direct http://slickdeals.net/f/5016088-4...-299-99-BB http://slickdeals.net/f/5015618-T...V-330-w-FS http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/7...r-warranty http://slickdeals.net/f/4953992-S...BV-FHD-280 http://slickdeals.net/f/4944244-T...24-98-YMMV http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/7...p-lcd-hdtv http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/7...p-lcd-hdtv

To put things in prospective, when you go to checkout at Sears the price drops to $379.99 not $420.00. If you use shop discover it brings it down another 10%, $342.00, or if I use my Sears card I get 5% off. So it's really not the much more then the step down Sceptres, Proscan's, Magnovox, TCL, Dynex, Seiki, Refurb Toshiba.. The OP never corrected the price in the description, or added the Discover Card perk

Sure, there's a lot of deals listed and I don't know a lot about TV's, but I have heard Samsung has good panels and products.

I was on the fence about the $300 TCL since they're supposed to have Samsung panels. I stopped in at a local video store that actually had a TCL on display and I personally felt it wasn't as nice looking or had the same build quality as a Samsung or Toshiba and to me the colors looked washed out.

Sears has a similar Toshiba $379 for the same price that looked pretty good in the showroom. It was 2nd runner up.

When the deal was listed I thought this is the one. I bought it and the guy from Sears loaded it in my car the next day pretty quickly. They have some, "get it loaded in the car in 5 mins or get a $5 off coupon" I just wanted it loaded safely in the car.

Funny how the old brand names are around, but don't have the same quality they once did/are made by other companies: Magnovox and JVC come to mind. Sceptre seems like just an ok tv as does Proscan. Almost went the refurb route, but for $80 or $100 more you get brand new.

This is for my dad's bedroom. He's retired, and watches a lot of TV. At least I know Samsung looks aesthetically good and he won't look at it and go, "what the hell is a TCL?"

It's all set up, dad's happy, to me the picture and sound is great. It's kind of funny in that his cable is Standard Def anyway so the HD 1080 thing doesn't mean much. I'm happy he's got a 40" to enjoy over the crappy 15" CRT he was watching. Maybe it's not a super slickdeal, but for me (and my dad) it's a perfect fit at $423. Seems like the prices are falling in that the price of a 37" was that much last month.

A few weeks ago I also got a Samsung 2nd gen I3 laptop that I've really enjoyed from the Cowboom lapoff so maybe that influenced me too. Thanks Slickdeals and happy deal hunting.

How do you get 5% off using your Sears card?

Costco has a 39" Samsung LED for $439

Quote from croc : Costco has a 39" Samsung LED for $439

Curses, there's always a better deal around the corner.

The Samsung LED TV's are super thin and the screens are beautiful.

Still going to stay with the LCD I bought, it'll still work for dad. PLus, I'm so lazy about returning stuff and apparently there's a 15% restocking fee at Sears.

Quote from pconway12 : How do you get 5% off using your Sears card?

I bought some shoes online a couple of weeks ago and used my SEARS MC and the price was discounted 5% at checkout. I'm a assuming it's a perk for using it at Sears.
I should have been more specific, I can't guarantee, that it works with the store card only. The shop discover would give you a bigger discount in this case anyway. Sorry for any confusion.

Retro, LED TV's are LCD. Samsung uses two kind of back lighting fluorescent, and LED. Both the Sears and the Costco sets are LCD, so they are very similar.

I'm not sure what cable company your dad is with. With comcast I can get HD local channels by bypassing the cable box and using the tuner in the TV set. Refered as QAM tuner/channels. You would have to use a splitter run one cable line into the box, the other into the TV. If your dad watches a lot of his local channels he would get the enjoyment of watching them in HD without the cost of upgrading his service, or cable box. The only possible downside you would have to switch what input/ant you were using from the remote. Direct cable input versus cable box input.

Only some of Samsung's backlit LED tv's are thin, their lower end LEDs are about as thick as traditional LCD tvs

Yes, the 500 series at Costco is about as thick as a traditional LCD....looks good though!
