Panasonic TC-P60U50 60-Inch 600hz High Definition Plasma $798 + Free Shipping (Ebay Daily Deal) *it's back*

Quote from papitosabe : ok, so how does the ranking go regardding plasma, lcd, led? 1. Plasma, Correct? 2. ??? 3. ??? I completely forgot about LEDs...I'm guessing its last of the 3...but just a guess...

They all have +'s and -'s. I personally prefer plasmas.

Plasmas = Thicker, heavier, use more energy, bad glare BUT amazing viewing angles, amazing picture quality, No ghosting/motion blur, pitch black BLACKS.

LED = Very energy efficient, can be very thin, can be very light BUT worse picture quality, lighter blacks (dark gray), can have motion blur or soap opera effect, worse viewing angles

LCD = Middle of the road energy efficiency, middle of the road thickness, middle of the road weight, lighter blacks (dark gray), can have motion blur or soap opera effect, worse viewing angles.

I have 1 great Samsung plasma that I love and 2 older LCD's. I would have gotten 3 plasmas if my house would have allowed for it. Plasmas have a full glass layer over the top and are really bad with glare, so they are not ideal for all rooms of your house. I would strongly recommend a plasma for a room with very few windows or bright lights. If you can find an area where glare won't be an issue, and energy use and thickness of the TV don't matter, you MUST get a plasma. You will still get a small amount of image retention every now and then, if you leave it on a screen for hours at a time, but the issues of burn-in are pretty much over.

i saw the UT 50inch for 799 at costco today.

damnit, I was just about to post this deal thinking I snagged the thread of the century.....

buaah, buaahhhh....

Uhhh...that's ok. The dude has accumulated over 375 negative feedbacks with the last 12 months - 49 of those within the last month. You people can throw your $$$ away if you want on this fraudster but I prefer to buy a TV from a dealer that I can walk up to and meet face to face - like Best Buy for example. I would NEVER shell out $700 for a TV from a guy on flea bay - just my 2 cents. Not trying to crap the thread but just giving some sound financial advice. You can take it or leave it..

You are aware that "the dude" is BuyDig/Beach Camera, an outfit that has been around for decades? And that 49 negative feedback as a percentage of their sales volume is less than 0.5%?

Quote from calistyle : led > lcd

Plasma>LED>LCD

Fact:
Plasma has best picture quality and cheapest. End of story.

if those are your only criteria, CRT FTW lol

Quote from tennis8363 : Same here...

The thing is, we will see the same if not better deals in the next week. It's not worth taking the chance.

Quote from eb50 : if those are your only criteria, CRT FTW lol

That's a crazy thing to say. "Best quality" and "cheapest" are two completely separate qualities that stand on their own, independent of each other. Plasma does have the best picture quality. Plasma is generally the cheapest option compared to LCD and LED sets. There is no such thing as a 60" or 1080P CRT TV, so a CRT would not be a better option. While I realize your post wasn't meant to be serious, the flawed logic still bothered me. That is all.

Quote from tennis8363 : For some of us, buying at Costco will add a tax hit compared to eBay.

He was responding to my comment which had already taken into account sales tax.

The costco price is $749, and with tax about $820
Buydig is $800, so about a $20 difference, which is what he was referring to.

So the Costco 55" UT50 comes out to about the same as this 60" U50

Good luck selling on CL. I see those things for free all of the time.

sheit, that sucks...was hoping on getting $300 for that, a dvd player, and the stand....

Amazon/Costco/Frys/etc. have tax for a lot of people on here. Some people don't realize that eBay offers a much better deal for a lot of us on here (although I do wish the return policy was a bit better, just have to be careful).

Also I wouldn't wait much longer on a good TV deal this year. There's really only a week or two left in "deal season" as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong). Prices are about as low as they're going to go and many models will start going out of stock soon. Get yourself a set while you can IMO.
