Big sales the week before the Super Bowl

You should be able to get a really good deal on a plasma TV, and you'll get a bigger size for your $$$. They also have a very nice picture. Notice, LED might have 120-240 hz, but plasma has 600+hz.

Yea but he is looking for a 30-50 inch for 500. I would look into a vizio, heard they were pretty decent.

The whole thing about 120-240 hz is misunderstood by people. You don't even need that crap. All it does is give the picture a smoothing effect. You only need that if you are watching movies and even then it's not really needed.

gtc08 · Jan 22, 2011

yea, what is the hz deal, explain that please. i also saw a nice plasma 42 inch on best buy, here's the link:

Get a 42" vizio.....great set for the money.

seanm0520 · Jan 22, 2011

Vizio's not bad by any means but ANY Sony, Samsung, Panasonic will put it to shame. It's been a little while since I sold TVs but I know Vizio hasn't improved THAT much. Solid picture for the money though.

Vizio's highend series is rated right up at the top (xt series, I think?).

For 500 bucks, and if you're in the 40-inch range, i'd go with a Panasonic plasma... the black levels and contrast are great, and while not 1080p, at 40" it probably won't matter.

That's a pretty darn big range. 30 for 500, sure. 50 for 500, no.

Got a 42" 1080p 120hz LCD from BestBuy for 500$ last Thanksgiving. You can find deals if you hold out.

DeathEatsaCracker · Jan 22, 2011

I bought a Sanyo 42" LCD 1080p 120hz for $478 at Wal-Mart in a Black Friday sale. In fact, the last three tvs I've bought were from Wal-Mart. I shopped around big time but could not find a better deal.
