Thanks Janet, i'm going to try like hell, and you can't beat the prices right now, just have to wait 6 weeks for my tax refund so i'll have lots of time to compare them, hopefully i hit a really good sale, but i do want to run to circuit city before they go out of business, maybe i could charge it and pay it off when my refund comes in.. we'll see what Mike wants to do. The samsung 47" is on sale right now at best buys, were also going to need a wall mount. and i'm going to have to switch our cable i guess to HD.. i have digital cable do i still have to switch to HD digital ?? humm have to call the cable company on that one...

I was checking them out this fall and from my research, Samsung is still #1.

My ex husband works for PC Richards, an electronics store. He says extended warranties are a big ripoff, and to never get one. The manufacturer warranties the product for the first year, and I honestly don't remember why he said it was a scam, but it made a lot of sense at the time.

Good luck with Circuit City! You can get great buys now.

I just wanted to let you know Haley that I talked with our TV repairman. He hasn't come yet, but will be here Monday. I told him I found out that Plasma's don't last long and he said that wasn't true. He's been working on TV's for over 25 years and said that in his career he works on just as many LCD's as Plasma. That he really couldn't recommend one over the other. He did say when plasma's first came out he wouldn't recommend them to anyone, but that is not the case now. I forgot to ask him which brand of TV he thought was best and worked on less. I'll try to remember to ask him on Monday.

He use to be the repairman for h.h. gregg and another company, but went out on his own.

Well I didn't want to contradict anyone, but I thought...who better to ask than someone who works on them. Plus the added fact that he doesn't work for a company...he works for himself repairing TV's. So I just wanted to share what he told me. I'm hoping he can come today and then I will ask him some other questions....like what brand does he work on less than any others.

Oh ask him lots of questions.. thank you !!
ask him what digital ready tv's are? and why some of them aren't digital ready?
I know whem plasma's first came out they didn't last that long, but like you said they must of improved on the life span... i just love the pictures on plasma tv's.. so nice !!!!!

He still hasn't called yet, but I will ask him your question.

Thanks Judy i am leaning towards the Samsungs, but one thing i didn't understand, they say that there not "digital ready" i have to find out what that means, i think its that you don't need the cable box, i have to ask that question.
