Samsung LN46A630 TV

$935.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
can't find a better tv anywhere for under $1,500 with all the features of the a630.
from www.amazon.com
a 46 inch lcd uses 250 watt verses 500 w for a plasma.
from www.amazon.com
other than that buying through amazon i saved 500 dollars after talking with best buy about lowering their price.
from www.amazon.com
from a pricing standpoint, the absence of sales tax and delivery charges placed this unit anywhere from $200 - $500+ less than any retailer in the jacksonville area.
from www.amazon.com
and if you're worried about stepping down from 50000:1 to 40000:1 in dynamic contrast, i wouldn't.

Samsung LN46B550 TV

$1,215.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
you can spend $500 more for the 120 hz technology but it is not that big a deal to me.
from www.amazon.com
i haven't seen a 120hz side-by-side with the 60hz yet, but i highly doubt that it is worth the $500 upgrade.
from www.amazon.com
when i finally made the leap to a home theatre system, i didn't think i could get a quality system for under $2,500-$3,000.

Samsung PN50B450 50 in. Plasma TV

$950.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
i could not in my right made spend an extra $500 - $600.00 for the higher priced sets.
from www.bestbuy.com
i have admired the picture quality of samsungs recently, so my decision came down to blowing an extra $500 on 1080p.there are many articles on 1080p vs 1080i vs 720p.
from guy with 450, www.newegg.com
cons: power useage with the a model is kinda high, about 600-700watts with an all white screen with brightness turned all the way up, but prob averages around 400-500watts with normal useage, higher

Sharp LC52D85U TV

$2,000.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
sony models but from what i've personally have seen, the pq of this lcd is just as good as those and the features that those have isn't worth the extra $500 plus dollars that you'll end up spending.
from www.amazon.com
a comparable samsung would have cost me at least $500 more.
from www.amazon.com
same tv cost 500$ more in retail store , so as samsung and sony .
from www.amazon.com
remember your average theater is showing at 500:1 contrast ratio.the 1080p is also a nice feature but only if you have a blu ray which transmits at 1080p.
from www.amazon.com
i was considering purchasing the more expensive samsung and sony models but from what i've personally have seen, the pq of this lcd is just as good as those and the features that those have isn't

Samsung LN52A630 TV

$1,910.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i decided to buy this tv through amazon because it was $400 to $500 less than at any popular store.
from www.amazon.com
the price was unbeatable, over $500 less than i could find in most stores, and even $250 less than circuit city's so called going out of business pricing.
from www.amazon.com
i saved over $500!!
from www.amazon.com
the higher end 700, 800, 900 series have some more bells and whistles and contrast ratios and such, but the 500-600 series looked great in the stores.

Panasonic TC-P50X1 TV

$928.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
this tv does not have as good of a picture as most of the other 50 inch tv's that are 500-1000 dollars more than this one (duh!) but for the price you can not beat it!
from www.bestbuy.com
i saved $500.
from www.bestbuy.com
since most sources other than blue ray and some game consoles are 720p or 1080i save your money ($500) and opt for the 720p set.
from jbean7457, www.newegg.com
take the 500 bucks you save and buy a nice home theatre audio system!

if your not going to move it around much don't spend the extra money for this model - get the 500 or 600 series.

for those who state that tv sound was not great--all i have to say is if you are going to spend over $2k for a new tv, then why would you not spend another $500+ for a great sound system?!?
from www.amazon.com
my old set had a broken color wheel and instead of investing 500 dollars in replacement and repair on old tech.
