Costco Samsung 60 inch LED $1249.

Quote from armanix120 : costco i dont know about warranty...but if u did want to get warranty i go with squaretrade.. sucks for u to be in a state with tax from amazon.com for people that dont have to pay tax like GA that is great deal...

Actually, where I live, there is NO sales tax, period. Online, instore -- doesn't matter. But yeah -- I'm sure it does suck for the people who do pay tax. As for the warranty, it's my understanding you can (with Costco) go with a ST warranty and ultimately get a 5-year warranty on your TV... it's complimentary, not compounded...

Quote from TiSpyder : Sucks for u to be in GA... I'd rather have to pay tax on amazon purchases than have to live in GA...

Rep'd!

Quote from dkraut : But you'll never use the damn warranty! You people and these extended warranty's drive me nuts.

You're *unlikely* to use the warranty, but to say you won't use it period is a bit misleading... Yes, you're far more likely to utilize it on a TV than a laptop, but doesn't mean that it won't be used...

I've bought a few tv's from sam's club w/ the extended warranty. Trust me I'm the guy to normally avoid extended warranties. However, at Sam's when my tv had any issue at all (and I had purchased the extended warranty), they just gave me a full refund. I presume they checked it to confirm it had an issue.

Right now I have a plasma I bought from Sams and it occasionally makes an annoying buzzing sound. Not sure if I'm going to take it back or wait for something else to go wrong on it first. I was going to buy one of the nice samsungs but then I read they were having some sore of issue with the capacitors or something. I think I want one of the new LG's with the tiny bezel and the passive 3d.

This is a great price,
but look for free-shipping and No Taxes.

I got a 55" Samsung LED in 2010 for $999.99 from Newegg.com + FS + NT.

It's amazing, and use it all the time, no issues, no dead pixels, wonder high quality products from the best!

They're raising taxes on the Poor and all, inflation is rising on the Poor and all, this January!
What did they spend $16 Trillion dollars on? It sure wasn't for American Citizens!

That's $64,000 each American could have had to invest (hopefully instead of spend) toward a business, education, early retirement, or financial independence.

Hell we could have loaned it to China, japan, and a boat load of other countries! @ 10% interest rates.
We could have been the wealthiest Nation in the World.
Instead we killed Sadam Hussein and Bin Ladin with it after an entire invasion. (Why couldn't we just snipe them?)

Though half of that Trillion is spent on Classified Black Budget Projects that may one day be available to Public Consumer Technologies.

Quote from mikoo1965 : But what does that "Smart TV" offer?

it offers apps you can run on your tv like netflix, twitter, facebook, some games, etc... I don't care about apps, i'm more interested in something like timeshift or recording tv shows to a thumbdrive.

This TV is 3.7" thick without the stand. Holy crap. Was looking to upgrade my 55" C8000 series from a couple years ago, but I don't think I would feel comfortable hanging this on the wall. It would stick out like a sore thumb. My current TV is just barely over an inch thick. Need to switch out my current one since part of the panel is failing (dark shadows).

Quote from wozalawena : This is $1296.99 on Amazon and it's Prime with free 2 day shipping. I'm glad to see the price of TVs going down, but I think I'm still going to hold out for Black Friday.

I never see quality TVs offered on bf.

Quote from TiSpyder : Sucks for u to be in GA... I'd rather have to pay tax on amazon purchases than have to live in GA...

I I live in GA and would rather pay 25% less for gas and milk and everything than live in CA, and also pay tax on amazon purchases.

But if I could afford it and had money to burn, then of course SoCal is about 10x better than GA and most everywhere else in the USA.

The LG 60LS5750 (LS5700) is a better TV for $1299.99 at Costco which is $400 cheaper than anywhere else. I almost bought the Samsung except it is lacking a few little things like HDMI-CEC and it isn't ideal for wall mounting. The LG has everything except 3d.

The 6050 series (6000) is comparable to the 6100 series. I owned the 6100 series and found the LG to be tons better in screen uniformity. The 6050 may not have these issues being a back light LED.

You can purchase the Costco extended warranty even for TV's bought from different stores.

Because there is an entire weaponry industry lives on that, snipe them would have defeated the purpose.

However, weaponry industry is where the cutting edge technologies come from. Making cars, TV, cellphone doesn't exactly advance technology in the current state of our civilization. Everybody now understands that if you control the technology you can control everything.

The only question left is, if you want to live like a king, other than making weapon, killing Ladin, making TV, cars, what else can you do to feed yourself? Perhaps learn from ladyGaGa ...

Nice TV and deal. To think back in the day I paid 1600 for a 50 inch plasma and thought I was getting a good deal!

Quote from sathya_diligent : I should have listened to people like you.... used smart tv app for the first one week 3D for 2 hrs ( TV is 2 years old ) All kind of crap - some people use it..not me..

Smart app is generally crap mostly due to that TVs are trying to become smartphone but lack of a uniformed platform similar to android or iOS. As of today pretty much every TV manufacture has their own "smart app" initiative. Much to be the same of the photographic devices, camera, all are moving to "samrt app", except there isn't many apps to choose from.

Meanwhile, smart TV device, Roku, PS3, Xbox, HTPC, Apple TV, cable box have all been the only "smart" of last generation TV, which the smart TV is trying to replace. To some extent it is successful but largely this is the next field we may watch the smartphone revolution repeats on TV. Soon after Apple has their own iOS TV, all other TV manufacture will swam to Google TV just like Android phone. This drama we can expect to play precisely in next few years.

Now before all the "Smartness" are settled in next 3-5 years, this year might be a milestone point to purchase the latest TV if your old TV is dying. That's not because it's smart, but 3D.

3D content was pricey and hard to find merely one year ago, so it's common if most who have 3D TV found themselves rarely turned 3D on. But the number of 3D content has been exploding ever since. The other reason is the consumeration of 3D technology itself was still in test, e.g. active-3D vs. passive 3D. Many complaint headache when watching active-3D, therefore passive 3D with cheap glasses is here to stay. There is news about non-glass 3D TV is on the horizon but that's another 5-10 years away minimally.

3D TV content (not 2D ->3D converted) has such a striking effect, once you're used to it, it's hard to go back watch 2D content. This why ESPN has start to broadcast sports in 3D, newer movie releases are all come with 3D.

So don't buy in the Smart TV, but a TV without 3D may make you want to replace it in a year or two.

Excellent suggestions - i am planning to purchase 3D TV this year for this reason.
