50" Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST50 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV $796 + Free Shipping

Had a missed call from an 800 number 10 minutes before I went on my lunch break this evening, called it back since I had a feeling it was Sears. Automated answer said "it looks like you have a scheduled delivery tomorrow. We were calling to confirm the date and time, between 4:30 and 6:30pm February 26th"

Quote from Wiendog : With that being said, in general how can you go to a store and look at a tvs picture and decide if you like it, if the feed is garbage. I was in best buy a few weeks ago and looked at some tvs and they all looked awful. How can anyone make "their own choice" when the feed is crap?

go into a best buy magnolia center and have them load a blu ray on the tv u want.

It's OOS. Anywhere else to get this? Not in any local Sears stores either.

Trying to decide between this and the Samsung 55" led non 3d for $800

just bought 2. Great price!

Finally pulled the trigger after agonizing over the decision the past 2 days. Now I need to figure out what to do with a 4 year old 40" Samsung LCD that it is replacing.

Please let me know if you do try for the 2 yr warranty. I also got the pricematch but don't see how any deals could be had for extra warranty service, since Sears only offers the 1 yr warranty.

Seems like the deal is on again. I suppose some stock is showing up in local Sears & up for sale if the order is cancelled.

Quote from Gdog2004 : I will never ever EVER understand why people even care about how thin a panel is. Who gives a flying F whether its 3 inches thick vs 1 inch thick ? Once its on the wall all you see is the picture.

First off, don't assume everyone is putting their television on a wall.

But for the sake of discussion, let's say they are. Now take the television and the mount and add those depths together. If there's a difference of two inches in the depth of the TV, then the TV could be sticking a fairly noticeable distance into the room... especially if the TV is mounted higher and is therefore tilted down towards the viewing area.

None of that may seem particularly significant when you are sitting directly in front of the TV. However, not every TV installation is the same and in many setups the giant black thing on the wall is visible from the SIDE (and this of course can apply to sets that are on stands, too). You can argue, and not without merit, that a 2-inch difference is not a big deal, but a thicker TV is definitely more obtrusive visually... Ideally, the TV, when not in use, should retreat into the background.

I wonder why the base is silver instead if black...

The wait for this TV to warm up to room temperature before using it is going to be agonizing! I can at least unbox it for the time being...

How did the home delivery service work for you? Did they allow you to just sign for the box being delivered in good shape without opening it in their presence? I agree with you that it is not advisable to power up a plasma when it comes in from frozen temps until it warms up, so I don't want to do so while they are present. If there is a problem with the set I will then contact them once I test it, and hope that is acceptable. Thanks and enjoy your new plasma!
