Good price!!! Is this a Smart TV?

nope and that's what makes it such a great deal. jumping up to a smart tv would be a few hundred dollars more from samsung which may not be worth it for a lot of people.
besides you can get your netflix streaming and more from a blueray player that has wifi and thats pretty darn cheap these days

Thanks Again!!!!

Sweet!!!

Ca tax?? I may need to get this over the 50" 3d Panasonic plasma I'm about to pick up today...

Upon searching, if bought through dell, you pay $1098 and get a $300 gift card bringing the net total to $798. Seems pretty good as well.

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sn...u=a6642491

EDIT: Free shipping through Dell, but looks like tax bumps this up to $1172 - $300 = $872 which isn't worth the trouble with the GC.

Amazon shows the same model as 240hz. Anyone know why?

I think the logic is WRONG here. Saying that it is NOT a smart tv; is what makes it a great deal is not true. So if it was a smart tv (for the same price) then it won't be a great deal???

Good deal due to price, would be better if it WAS a smart tv.

Yeah if you plan on spending $300 + on something else from Dell that could be good.

You mean bringing the deal $798 after the GC. Still have to pay the full $1000 which may not be worth it for some that don't care for a dell gc

great tv for the price.

Plus $61.53 in Tax (@ 7% sales tax).

2013 models (F-line) are about to be released. They are clearing out 2012 inventory, hence the price drop. You'll see a lot more of the same with other 2012 models in coming weeks.

When are the 9000 smart tv series being announced/coming out?

Not sure. Last year, some of the higher-end models came out months after the bulk of the 2012 (E-line) was released.

Note that I'm not suggesting that buying a 2012 model that is about to become obsolete is a bad thing. After all, the prices are lower and the technology from one year to the next isn't progressing at a breakneck speed. But anyone buying a 2012 model should be aware they are getting it at the end of its sales cycle and could potentially hold out a few weeks and get an improved/updated model for a bit more.

if you already have roku or bluray or other streaming device you dont need a smart tv, so nice price! :)

Or a $50 Android Stick is even nicer. I could care less about 3D and the built-in crappy "smart tv" platforms. I just want thin, great display, and use Android to turn it into a giant tablet, browser, media hub. This is perfect for that. Only hesitation, as described in my earlier post, is that it's a 2012 model being cleared out.

Apply code DIG5 to cart to take another $5 off.

Also, 2% CB is available a few places.

Combine this and you're down to $855-ish.

i wanted 55 inch, led, thin, no 3D, no smart--seems perfect for me
just purchased

After buying my smart pana viera... i don't think i can go to a "dumb" tv ever again. seriously. SERIOUSLY.

I jumped on the 55" ES7100 from yesterday's FP deal for $1349@tigerdirect. I'm feeling a bit of buyer's remorse as this is significantly less but without all the extras of the 7100. What ya'll think?

read some reviews. a lot of people say samsungs "smart" features are very buggy so this non "smart" tv is better. no need to pay $200 extra when you can buy a roku that will do all those features 10x better a fraction of the price.

the ES model do have a lot of issues with the edge lit led. flashlighting and all sorts of other problems. read reviews before you make a decision. not sure what buydigs return policy is.

Good set, good price. Only complaint is the black levels on the 6003 aren't as deep as the 5 series. This also can show as slight flashlighting effect on the screen in a pitch black screen. But for the price, it's a very very small complaint for a higher quality set. I personally never use the "Smart" functions on my Panasonic Plasma. It's far easier to reach for my cell phone to check weather, facebook, etc etc. Netflix, Amazon or Hulu maybe, but you can pick up a Roku for less than 50 bucks.

I bought this TV from BuyDig for a similar price a few weeks back. Beautiful-looking TV and when the screen is filled with a bright scene (like sports), it really is a beautiful sight. HOWEVER, my unit has very bad flashlighting/light bleeding not only in the corners, but also some splotchy areas in other parts of the screen. Watching a dark scene in a movie in a dark room makes this very apparent. Off-angle viewing isn't that great either. The edge-lighting really washes out the colors and makes things look gray.

I'm not sure if I got a defective unit or if other people have experienced similar issues. BuyDig has a 45 day return policy (though I will have to pay return shipping and processing). I'm probably going to send it back.

Use Coupon Code "Dig5" for an extra $5 off. making it $874

Would be even better if it were made of gold. Not sure what point you're making.

I have the smart TV, but was disappointed that you can't watch Hulu without paying extra for Hulu Plus. HBO Go works well though. NOTE, I'M TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT TV THAN THE OP.

If it's defective, file it under warranty and save the $$ for return shipping! And it sounds defective.

Smart Tvs will be so out of date in 3-5 years. Better to upgrade add-on options instead. Its like buying a nav system for a car

Needed a solid 1080 for my gaming cave - Awesome deal if you don't need smart tv functions!

its not its called edge lit led technology lol. a lot of edge lit led suffer from this. turning down the backlight may help or "massaging" the screen supposedly helps

Great Deal! My wife and I were in the market for a new LED TV that was 55-60inch. Repped.

using that as a litmus test

the Tv itself will be out of date in 5 years.....:nod:

I have a 7 year old car with GPS...and yes the newer ones are better...but I can use mine to get from point A to B if needed
but unless you are one to jump on new technology each year its a moot point

But it now and enjoy it

.....what?
The fact that the TV is not a smart tv allows it to be much cheaper and that makes it a slick deal. If it were a smart TV then it would obviously be more expensive. Manufacturers don't add features for no additional price.

I have a decent HDTV but it's a few years old and sometimes at the homes of others I am like "damn thats a sharp picture" and think I need to upgrade my TV.

I currently have a Sharp LC-52SB57UN, would this be much of an upgrade from that? Why or why not?

Thanks

This is a good price on a big TV. It is far from Samsung's best concerning picture quality. But for many (maybe even most?), the picture will be plenty good enough.

There will be a LOT of deals in the following weeks to clear out the 2012's as the 2013's are due in March and April.

Any recommendations for a cheap wall mount that will work with this TV? Is Tilt really necessary if I am able to hang this at eye level?

I'd rather you keep my Panasonic I think my Panasonic is much better than my Samsung ever was.

It looks like there's only 2 HDMI and no VGA or DVI inputs. Are the lack of inputs common now with newer TV's? My 4 year old Sharp TV has 4 HDMI and a VGA input.

Yes. Lack of inputs are common on lower tier TVs. They have to cut somewhere.

Any better than the UN55EH6000 that is $799 Amazon?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/...UTF8&psc=1

EH models aren't ultra-slim. If thickness doesn't matter, then not a big deal, but if you want something skinny as you can get, you'll want an ES.

Hey, that would be superb(if there are many TV's due out in march and April).. Can you share some link for this news? I would wait for something cheaper for 46 inch.. (prefably samsung or lg brand which are new model for about 500 bucks).

You misunderstood him. What he meant is that it is cheaper because it doesn't have the SMART features. If it has them, then it won't be this cheap. And people don't really care about the SMART feature. Thus, it's a good deal. So he is implying the SMART feature you get for extra $$ isn't worth it.

And of course, it would be an even better deal if it is SMART TV with the same price; as it would be an even better deal if it's framed in diamond with the same price.

if your 4 year old Sharp is this size....was it the same price?

BUT

many times you get more than the "smart " features for the extra money

In Samsung..if you step up to the 7000 series you get better picture processing as well

Not sure why people think these TV's are ala carte

Generally speaking you are giving up more than one feature stepping down...and many times that feature is the a better picture because of the better processing of a higher end model

looks good, but the size is too big for me, i prefer these small ones.

- said no man ever..

Are you sure they are same model? Any link?

I ended up sticking with the Panasonic.

Maybe referring to CMR 240? If so, that's just marketing.

in for 1...thanks...i wish there was a better code then 5 bucks off but i guess better than nothing... to sweeten the deal...no tax!

How is this compared to the Sears deal on the Panasonic 50 inch? I know the Panasonic is a Plasma TV and not easy to compare them, but I like to hear it from the experts

I picked up my pana today. I like it. I've always liked panny plasmas. I think they have some of the best pic quality. High contrast and dark darks. The Interneat apps are nice too. I have amazon prime and the YouTube feature is cool

The point is that the lack of Smart features isn't what makes it a good deal. The price is. The lack of features might be understandable at this price point, but it's not a benefit in and of itself.

Lauding a lack of features and quality compromises as a recipe for a good deal means that the SD front page should be filled with absolute garbage products. There are countless cheaper and worse-made TVs on the market.

Not sure why the original commenter is being beat up for making that point.

Sent from the official Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.

I would pick the EH6000 over this tv. The EH6000 uses a full array for blacklighting whereas the ES6003 uses edge lit (this is why people complain about the flashlight effect). It's also why the EH6000 is thicker, because of the full array. I just got the 55"EH6000 myself, and thanks for mentioning it because it has gone down in price since I placed my order so hopefully I can get some $ back, and it's beautiful. Would buy again.

Also, going through Amazon, I managed to get a 'logistic freight company' that specializes in transporting fragile goods, to deliver/transport my tv. If I wasn't so anxious to get it the guys would have brought it to my house and set the darn thing up for me (they were swamped the day of my original delivery so it would have been delayed a day and I just couldn't wait or take the time off to wait). All without extra cost.

i definitely get your logic. Not sure why others do not. Arguing about diamonds and gold is ridiculous.

I don't think you got a defective unit. My tv had similar issues (though I got the 46-inch -- which I guess is even worse because I would think that splotchiness would be less of an issue the smaller the edge-lit tv is, but that's just my intuition and not based on any informed research). It was so bad when I watched any movie with dark scenes. Even really widescreen movies had splotchiness on the black bars that I found way too distracting.

I ended up returning the tv and going with a plasma - the 50 inch Panasonic ST50 that's on sale at Sears now for $800. I couldn't be happier with my choice. Color, lighting, off angle viewing -- in all cases better than the Samsung and a great TV overall.

A TV with only two HDMI ports is pretty much useless nowadays

Some people are never happy in life.

Umm, if you're planning to plug in 3 or more HDMI cables directly into the TV (rather than through a hub, etc), then sure.

I'll vote for this price, its great price. If you are using a Playstation, WII or Xbox you can yield all the benefits of smart tv smart as well. I have a smart tv i rarely use that now.. as my computer is connected to the tv always and i have xbox and wifi enabled blue ray.. so if you are in line to buy a tv.. this would be good choice

I have 4 on my Living room Samsung lcd and have never used more than one.

My AV receiver serves as A hub. This set is far from useless. Keep your money and buy A switch.

This, or the Costco 55" Panny plasma @ $699?
http://slickdeals.net/f/5857478-P...o-B-M-YMMV

I am so tempted to get this but holding back because of the potential for flashlighting issues. I am pretty finicky about that stuff. Return/exchange doesn't look to be as convenient as say for Amazon or big box store purchase. Also is there a panel lottery for this model too?

Yeah...because I get a new TV every year. After all, I wouldn't want dinosaur technology

Would not be a better deal if it was a "smart" tv because I hate paying for all that crap. I wish manufacturers would give up a kick ass MONITOR with a nice input jack pack and call it a day. skip "smart" features, skip "shiity audio" which is ALL flat panels, scrap the worthless "tuner". ahhhh.to dream...

Are you suggesting there is no additional value to an incremental year for the model? If so, then a 2008 model would be just as appealing as a 2012 model. The technology isn't evolving at a breakneck pace, but there are improvements each year. Again, I'm not saying a 2012 model is a mistake by any means... just pointing it out that they are about to be pulled in favor of 2013s.

If paying he same price for either set then sure go for the newer one, but you're making it seem like you're hesitant of saving hundreds of dollars because a new model will come out in a month or so. Are those incremental changes worth hundreds of dollars? Hell no. If it was a $40 price difference then maybe.

Maybe a 2008 model wouldn't be as appealing today as a 2012 model if one were looking to buy a brand new set. I know that if I had purchased a 2008 model, I wouldn't be looking to replace it so soon though unless it was a big size difference or big breakthrough in technology (now uses 1/10th the power, going from non 3D to 3D, CRT to LCD/LED/Plasma for space saving and better picture, etc.).

I think they have these...they're called monitors (good guess by the way). But don't monitors usually cost a lot more than a similarly sized television?

Seriously though, scrap the tuner? And what about those of us who don't like to pay for cable/satellite or streaming? I get free clearQAM channels so I need a tuner.

Such animals do exist. Also remember we are but a small percentage who focus so much on PQ and such so Manufacturers goal is too make a TV that will make Joe Blow and Suzy KumQuat spend their vacation money to buy another new TV, that's what drives the Novelty features like "smart tv" and especially the more gimmicky ones.

The worthless Tuner- Hold your tounge Sir, that's one of the most valuable components for various reasons. If you haven't watched OTA lately, go to RadioShack or buy a decent antenna on amazon and connect it, for the channels you do recieve they are usually better than any cable or satellite feed of the same channel. I watch all the Saints games and Hornets errrrr.....Pelicans :O games OTA because its just a much better picture than both U-Verse or DirecTV's top of the line receivers could give me. We'd likely ditch other services if we could buy CNBC and a few others but that's dreaming:sleepy:

Free CNBC streaming (SD) is available on Roku, I believe I also saw it on my Samsung Blu-Ray.

NO, I hold fast that the tuner in the TV is WORTHLESS. I have a Tivo Premiere, (2) HD homeruns for my HTPC and a dishpal DTV OTA tuner with hard drive! So, as you can see, I am a big FAN of OTA, just don't need it built in to my TV! :D

DirecTV, dishnetwork, and even comcrap HD is nowhere near as nice as OTA imo. And I am watching on a failry large screen (120")

Deal is dead. Price is up to $999 now...

I ordered mine last week and it arrived two nights ago. Waiting till the weekend to set it up. Looks great so far. Hopefully no problems.

I bought it from Dell last dec, using 3 Amex 150 off 600 (450 off 1800, selling some portion off on plasticjingle). Then the Dell 300 promo card to buy a flash for my canon 5d mark II. The TV eventually cost me around $478.

To tell you the truth, I think the quality of Samsung is way overrated. The backlight is very uneven. My previous Samsung has better picture quality but only lasted a bit over 2yr. If it is not for the below 500 price mark, I would not consider a Samsung at all.

A much cheaper brand like TCL should do for most people without spending on the name brand.

Is this good deal? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applic...=S222-5517

doesn't matter, because they're wrong. The first model to jump to 240hz is the es7100. If it's a 6xxx model it's 120hz.

not particularly..

depends what you need.. I paid a little less for my 60" es7100. As you climb the model line a little bit you get some extra bells and whistles (many which aren't that well refined). I think yo get a front camera, and recognition etc.. some things that probably aren't all the great unless that's what you want.

Same price as sears and a lot of other stores.

:confused:Is their description wrong where they say that it is 140Hz? I don't believe I have ever seen a 140Hz TV :confused:

Fatwallet has 1% cash back if you purchase through BuyDig. Anyone have any luck with FW?

Thanks I have Foxconn netops that I use as my HTPC 140 bucs. I was waiting for this model to go down in price since I did not need any bells and whistles but I needed the headphone out to connect to my Logitech surround sound 5 speakers that I got for 49 bucs. Now I can still get the free HULU which you cannot get it for free using the smart TV.

I've always had a good experience using FatWallet. :)

No tax! In for one!

good luck with them tlc if pq aint a concern. Lol.

I'm pretty positive his post was sarcasm.

I bought an open boxed 60" version of this model at best best for $799. Originally I bought the Panasonic U50 50" plasma for $799 but the tv started randomly shutting off and I wasnt happy with how much bigger the tv was vs my previous 42" plasma so I returned it. I noticed the open box 60" LED and figured might as well go all in. I bring home the TV and it was massive for my living room. My living room is 16x16 and the TV seemed huge. I noticed the the picture compared to the plasma was not as great. The TV was definitely brighter but it was TOO bright. When I would watch tv or a movie at night the TV would light up my whole living room. When you watch a movie you want to have a dark room, not bright lit up room which happen because the tv is sooo bright. Also I noticed if I wasn't dead center in the viewing sweet spot the image on the tv would loose color. Of course the black levels weren't as great as the plasma as well. 60" was nice but was too bright for my living room and I hated having to sit dead center for best picture. That was my 1st LED I dont know if viewing angles are bad with all LED or just the lower line but I was not a fan. I prefer plamsa tvs any day of the week. Ended up returning the TV and getting the 55ut50 from costco for $699

Oh yeah and I forgot the worst part of the tv, is when there was completely black screen you could seed clouding all over the screen and the black was really uneven which I would never get passed in my head. I knew I would regret the TV if I didnt return it.

I mean that price will go down or no? Features are nice to have what about picture? Is good?

Beautiful TV. I have the 60 inch version that I got for $1300 back during BF. I upgraded from a Mitsubishi HDTV and auto motion plus setting makes a huge difference.

Isn't this a better deal? Vizio 60"LED $748 @ WM (4 HDMI inputs and built-in wifi) I've got a vizio, 42" 240hz LCD and I am extremely pleased with the picture.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/VIZIO-E...d/23000329

Edit: Just realized it's refurbished! sorry.

Absolutely stunning.. You can reviews it all day but wont find anything to cry about. This has to be the best 55" TV around.

in for one. A 55" was a little bit bigger than I'd planned on going but can't pass up the price!

Convinced in law's to grab this deal a week ago, installed it for them yesterday. Was impressed, I have the D8000 and it's clear there are differences but I wouldn't regret having this instead of the D8000 since we never really use the apps.

Can anyone comment on this compared to the Paul's deal for a Panasonic IPS 55" for $750. I've read reviews the IPS doesn't get deeper blacks compared to Samsung's because the panels they use( forgot which type). How's picture clarity? Some reviews on the panny say there are known problems as well, and some have gotten Panasonic to replace them completely when they couldn't fix it; not trying to deal with that.
Will research this when I get off work, and thanks for any input.

Vizio 60" double check.
 

Double check the Vizo model 60" One model had the video dying out in 1 month. Supposedly Vizo is replacing the TV's that went dead. Do a search on the net about it. On amazon there was a review about this.

jumped on this on the last deal. will be receiving mine tomorrow. can't wait!

if you are buying a sub-500 TV along with a cheap 3 extra year warranty with SquarTrade from Costco, you are paying a lot less even if your TV broke at the 4year364day mark.

I bet this will be really helpful. Goes well with the 60" ones too.

Why did samsung go away from last years crystal edges to this cheap looking aluminum edge that looks like its just snapped on?

I really like the crystal look from last years models thats why i ask.

sorry if i am being lazy but is this a smart tv and wifi ready and 3d?

I'm also looking for a comparison on this; I'm thinking of returning the Panasonic (http://www.paulstv.com/led-televi...l55e50.asp). Any information/assistance would be much appreciated.

In for one. Ty OP

Sent from the official Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.

140hz? it's 240hz, dude!

How this compare to 55" Panasonic Plasma I bought it last week from Costco deal, of course the price difference is almost $200.

Its 120hz, Because of Samsung's tru motion tech. It would in actually be 240hz because of there added technology. The actual processor is 120hz

Granted a plasma is superior to an LED but you have 2 factors to consider.
1) Glossy screen, if you have a lot of daylight in the room, plasma could be a problem with glare.
2) Electricity cost. Plasma runs almost double the electrical cost, (they are getting better though). I like to keep my electrical bill at 40 bucs a month down here in Florida. 40 in the winter and 60 in the summer.

sorry non-techi question:

when you do that can you surf the web on TV? thx much

most of the high end LED's have a glossy screen as well

in fact..in Samsung the higher end LED's and higher end Plasmas are almost identical in regard to glare

electricity use is a on issue....the last numbers I saw was an equivalent plasma would use $30 more in electricity a year

The fact than an equivalent plasma is typically $200-400 less money means it will take you a while to use the amount of electricity that would make them the same cost overall

my phone is samsung i699

Thus far there are no 9000 series announced for 2013.

The highest so far is F8000 for LED and F8500 for plasma.

They COULD announce an F9000 potentially as an OLED, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The fact that they let LG beat them to the punch with their $12k unit tells me they don't think there's enough market for it.

Look for the UN75ES9000 (2012) model to run through around summer-time before being discontinued.

Correct

Not really. CMR is a combination of a few elements, in Samsung they use black frame insertion and motion interpolation which is different and not to be confused with refresh rate (hz).

CMR is also used to combination with hz because lower tier brands like Vizio touting 480hz attempting to appear superior while using inferior processing engines and overall PQ.

It's probably because the ES6003 was a drop-in model from Black Friday and it was merely mislabeled since it was pretty far outside the regular 2012 line-up or since it is 240 CMR it was mislabeled 240hz.

Yes, I feel sorry for you... I mean remorseful :shake:

Thanks...after lots of reviews on forums and discussion boards.
1) Yes, there is slight problem of glare but I can control light intensity in my living room. Also I mostly watch TV after dark so light isn't much problem.
2) I guess Plasma even after lots of improvement still uses more electricity than LED for sure, but the thing what I am seeing currently is lots of people having 10 years old notion, I don't remember the site but I will provide once I get, where top electronics TV being tested, as per them if at all there is difference in electricity usage as per the test they run for 8 hours of daily run for 30-35 days, the overall usage might be not more than $20-24 depending on the usage and how much its been charged in your area, so that mean $1-$2 more than your LED per month if you watch 8 hours daily, but I guess practically we don't watch 8 hours daily so over all it could be $1 max difference which would be $12-$15 more, it never be $40 or $60 difference in electricity bill.
Also my TV having big yellow sticker of energy saving which showing a $24 saving per year, so I guess Plasma is no more a power hog like its been misunderstood especially for 2012 and later model.
Overall I guess Costco deal is better when all things considered.

I notice frequently on big screen TV deals people point out the amount of HDMI inputs.
My God people! If you need more than one, I am concerned you made a mistake buying a 55 inch TV. Who in their right mind would buy a tv this size and not have it's components connected through a receiver. If anyone is tight on budget here is a tip. Go to Onkyousa.com and purchase a refurnished one. You can get one that includes 5 speakers for like $249.

:hug: :wave:

Yap, THIS ^^
Are people actually plugging so many video inputs into their TV and using the stock speakers? I can't imagine anyone looking for a home theater experience that a 55" provides without having a decent speaker system...

Also, I've got a question and am hoping someone knowledgeable is browsing... We're currently using my roommates Logitech system (earlier model of this one [amazon.com]) with my PS3. Currently, the HDMI from the PS3 plugs directly into the TV, and the optical out (which the TV in this thread also has) goes back to the "receiver" of his SS system. Am I right in assuming that with a new Yamaha receiver (coupled with the FP $88 Yamaha speakers I got) would not need to back and forth like this, preventing the (however minimal) delay? I'm assuming the HDMI from the PS3 goes right into the receiver, then separates the sound (or not?) and sends the video to the TV to better sync with the audio output from the speakers? Because I have noticed some lag with the audio in regards to the video with our current set-up.

Do anyone know if the BuyDig is a reliable website to buy tv's?

delete

can anyone please comment your purchasing experience with buydig? It seems that Amazon has few returned ones sell for $798, but don't know exactly the reason for the return.

How about the customer service at Buydig if this TV goes wrong? Is this TV better than Panasonic one which were at the similar price during holidays? Forgot which model of Panasonic.
Thanks for your reply! I am serious to pull the trigger....

I purchased an LG 37" LCD from Buydig in 2009. Not much to add other than it was delivered in perfect condition. My TV did break within 3 months, but LG actually took care of it.

I've owned both models Panasonic ALL DAY

Can someone rank all HDTV types in order of power usage? Like so:

1 - uses least power
2 - uses more power
3 - uses most power

From what I understand, LED uses the least power?

Can't tell if trolling....... or bad with logic.

i do :D

i'm cheap and don't need a receiver. i have the cable box and dvd player using up 2 HDMI already, so if this TV isn't smart, then i need a Roku box or something else that would presumably need a 3rd HDMI port.

That should go on a Fry meme

just got the tv from buydig a week ago...quick easy perfect...great tv

This one will cost you $13 a year (the lowest of its size) to operate according the energy usage tag on the box.

The can't get past the "clouding issues" in low light scenes. I play COD which has a lot of dark scenes so this won't work for me.

Almost pulled the trigger. Called Amazon for a price match. They said they'd match the price but I'd have to get mandatory "white glove" shipping which would cost an extra $50 which I really wouldn't call a price match.

i almost jumped on the 2012 series but i keep hearing about the clouding and lag issues. The cnet review also wasnt too favorable even though they say its still a solid tv...

Maybe im just being picky..but was waiting to see the 2013 models release.

I could tell you are using bad logic. And you the troll here.

Our buydig experience was painless. Arrived in about 5 business days, a special delivery company was used, called ahead, planned delivery. Box had a good hole in a corner, ended up being in a hollow part of the box where the accessories were located. Tv works perfect, would use them again.

"Good hole in a corner"...Think, how hard the box itself was punched to receive A hole. This is my nightmare about buying a giant flatscreen online. I think Amazon would be the only place I would chance A flatscreen purchase with.

Although this deal is expired, does anyone know if they still have this pricing?
