55" Samsung 1080P LCD LN55A950, Target, $477, YMMV

My 2007 high end Samsung non-LED backlit, non 120hz LCD completely trashes the picture quality of my 2010 mid-high-end LG non-LED, 120Hz LCD. I would bet this TV outdoes the picture quality of many low-mid range LCD's you'd see in Worst Buy today.

For what it's worth, I found another TV at Target that was a little cheaper.

Crutchfield has it valued at over $1,099! [crutchfield.com]

It's also not some crappy brand like Samsung, but rather a Panasonic CT-32HX42, and I got this one for only $49.99! Probably some blooper like they meant to mark it down to $499.9 instead!

The 32HX42 can display both 1080i HDTV--when connected to an external HDTV tuner--and 480p progressive-scan DVD in wide-screen mode without sacrificing any of the resolution from anamorphic (enhanced for wide-screen) DVDs. Black bars appear above and below the wide-screen image.

OP, sure it wasn't a best buy in central FL?

Quote from Chris2 : Sort of like the 4 year old 50" Hitachi that's $49.99 at best buy

what store did you see this at? I can't find it in any stores clearance I have checked.

Quote from cowardly : If you can afford it, then why not get it because your kids will enjoy it more than a non-3D TV. That doesn't make sense to you?

It was the "doing a disservice" part that gets some people's hackles up. I'm sure you don't intend to imply that folks that cannot afford a 3D TV aren't good parents, but you pretty much did.

Quote from PooMBA : All YMMV deal should get automatic few TDs to begin with. And then if SDers decide that they are successful in getting such product, they can then vote TU and rep the OP. Otherwise, all YMMV deals do is create hysteria and wastes people's time, trying to find a deal when there is none to be found.

I don't see how starting it with negative thumbs would somehow help the clueless folks that get crazy excited over a YMMV deal and then throw a fit when they can't find it.

It would make it harder for those of use that look for YMMV deals to know if it was worth following up on, which kinda would suck.

Look, as long as it says YMMV in the title, any time wasted is the choice of the person that chose to dive into the deal. So my vote is... don't use TU/TD for reasons other than "good deal/bad deal", you'd just be screwing over people that show some gumption and have learned how to shop.

Shame that there's not a separate clearance forum though. Most of my SUPER slick deals have been clearance items. Including a few from Target. (My little dorm fridge being one of the more fun ones to have snagged there.) I'd love a forum dedicated to them. Call it "Scavenger Hunt"

Quote from TDMVP73 : The guy in charge of inventory management at the OP's store should be fired.

It was probably his/her replacement that found these in the back.

Quote from aedv : Someone's going to have to break the cardinal rule of SD and start calling.

Good idea. If you can't swing by the store when you're in the area running other errands, throw the employees a bone and let them buy a cheap TV. In the spirit of the holidays, it's the generous thing to do.

I see what you're saying and I obviously didn't mean it that way. Anyone who can afford it, should go 3D.

I actually have this model in my bedroom, had it for 3 or so years. Hate to say what I paid at Circuit City, but it was allot. I would say the picture quality is as good as any TV you see sold today. Was certainly the best of the best in it's day. Would buy every one they had if I was able to find any.

that is even a better deal..too bad, i am way too far from this store.

Quote from mcshaggin : My kids play sports and only watch a little bit of tv. They'd rather be outside riding bikes, shooting hoops, or playing catch. I wouldn't mind an occasional 3D movie but I can't even use the surround sound most of the time because the kids are sleeping.

i really wish someone had the dcpi for this. this is exactly what i'm looking for.

The odds of you finding it in your Target store are about 1 in 1 million. This model is roughly 3 1/2 to 4 years old. The OPs store is probably the only one that has it still in stock in the US.
