Costco. All day.
They will essentially guarantee the best price, their warranties are dirt cheap and they basically just give you a new TV if something goes wrong. We bought a Samsung Smart TV which we almost grabbed from Future Shop...ended up spending $300+ less at Costco. - Colin Dambrauskas
nice, I was in Costco ( Ottawa ) they didn't have any of the higher end TV's
Most of the one's they had there were low/mid models. |

I was looking at the 70" Quattron's...q17 or q15, and then you go read CNET reviews and they make you double/triple think yourself. Went from almost getting out the cheque book to not even having a clue which TV I want
Could go Plasma ( it's going in the basement ) but the Panasonic VT60 are all sold out - Garnie
I got a 50 plus inch panasonic plasma, dont get much glare, does it really matter these days?, tbh any huge new tv is gonna be awesome, but like someone said try costco |

My main TV is a 58" plasma. It is not without its problems but the picture is just way nicer than any LED-lit TV I have see. |

CNET as a whole is garbage, find a different review or site - PinkSock
you think so?
You think they get paid to say a certain TV is better than another?
They had the Panasonic Plasma vt60 ranked as #1 on the planet...and I believe that to be true..I just waited too long and there all sold out and not making any more plasmas ) |

You don't need a smart TV. It is nice to be able to read many media formats though and networking is a good thing to have. |

I actually prefer the Samsung plasmas. I find them less harsh.

If they remain the easiest team in the league to play againts....I would say no.
If they learn how to play defense...maybe. |

I was looking at the 64"...would like to at least be 70" ( little man syndrome )
even better if I could go 80"...buddy at the audioshop says the 80" are $2k more than the 70" because they are hand made |

anybody have any info on TV's
Looking to purchase 70" or 80" probably 70" as the 80's are freaking expensive.
Anybody buy 1 lately and have any input?
thanks, - Garnie
Huge fan of Samsung...their LED smart tv's are great.
I would suggest get a curve tv if you can afford it.
I would avoid plasma completely. |

80" is simply too big....doesnt seem like value paying the extra 2k. |

A lot of newer TV's will play them directly over your network.
Mine is 3 years old, and won't play MkV, so I just convert them with Handbrake.

Can't agree.
my 58" plasma blew away the 60" Sony I brought home a few years ago. I have been very happy with my Plasma decision. Sports is great on it! |

Certain Costco's get newer shipments than others. Theres two here in London, one of them had all the higher end/newer versions...the other didnt. It is bizarre. |
