50" Toshiba 50L2200U 60Hz LED-LCD HDTV $450 + Free Shipping

60hz ruins the deal.

Very very tempting... If 3D I wouldn't question for a second. I have a Toshiba flatscreen and it's my least favorite of all of the other flatscreens that I own because I paid a premium expecting more. For this price, I'd definitely be happy, but I think I am still going to hold out. Much appreciated though OP!

I pulled the trigger on the Best Buy for in-store pick up earlier today, and I think I'm going to stick with that and get it on my way home from work today unless I can't manage to fit it in my car. $27 worth of taxes isn't worth leaving work early to try to be home to receive this, and I've had some friends have some bad experiences receiving TV's shipped from Amazon that have been damaged in the process (this likely isn't extremely common, just enough to add onto my earlier reasoning).

Almost bought a Panasonic LED at the same size from someone who bought a display model for cheap from Costco with a Squaretrade Warranty for a little more and had been waffling on it all week hoping a good 50" LED deal would come around. At $450 NEW and slightly better reviews on sound I feel a bit better about buying this and can always get a Squaretrade warranty with the difference.

Darn. Wish I would have grabbed this instead of the 42 inch for $399. Oh well.

Quote from Bmr4life : Whatever. I have a 55" LED with 120Hz and I turn it off. I prefer 60Hz.

i did too initially... but then after a while went back and turned it on. after getting used to it, 120Hz does look a lot more clear (but everything looks more like reality tv)

Ha thats my problem, I dont know if I will be able to get this to fit in my mustang when I pick it up from best buy on my way home from work. There is plenty of room with the seats down but the trunk opening isnt very big. At least no tax for me because I purchased it in portland, oregon (live in washington).

I also grabbed the $399 one, I got email today saying that it has shipped.

Should I not accept the shipment, and it will automatically be returned to Fry's ?

Quote from AnilR4469 : I bought the Panasonic P50UT50 for $599 the other day. It's getting delivered to me tomorrow. Should I rather go for this? The Panasonic deal was really hot (38 thumbs up). I am torn. Is it that much better? I doubt I would use the 3D or Smart TV much. I had been using a PC with my Vizio but the Panasonic has no PC input while this Toshiba does. But people are simply gaga over Panasonic Plasma's picture quality. Help?

Panasonic, no doubt. Doesn't your PC have a dvi or hdmi output?

sweet deal! I want this. Gotta save for a wedding!

Human eyes can't see above 60Hz. (aka frames per second) 120Hz algorithmic upscaling is to reducing blurring of things such as soccerballs and other speed sports that occurs due to the feed from the broadcasting stations. (Most noticeable with soccerballs against an oversaturated green backgroun, in my opinion.)

(There is an argument for gaming that if you have a TV that accepts above 60Hz it improves game play if your online feed supports it. That split second edge of download time against enemies. In some cases sometimes the video game feed by itself, if the developers went overboard with effects and cutscene feed rates.)


This TV is also not supposed to be edge lit. Pretty sure this TV is full back lit LED, as it looks to have the same model number as the BF Toshiba from Sears.

I have a hatchback and my back seats go down but... it's a Yaris.

Got this on BF - It's an amazing TV. Don't hesitate.

Fantastic deal. Had a bunch of Amazon gift cards left over from the holidays and was looking to finally get an HDTV. This will do this trick! Thanks OP!

If you bought a Plasma TV for PC use and gaming you are going to be disappointed. I don't care what anyone says about the screen wipe feature for plasmas. You are DEFINITELY going to have picture burn in if you use your plasma TV for gaming and static PC uses.
