Re: Was this supposed to be Big News?
Magnavox, 36" LCD HD 1080i, Office Depot - $499.99... those must be SOME Ford Pinto you have.. and that dirt bike.. oh.. ok.. I'll stop and be nice to you.. my point is that HD TVs are available at the same costs as traditional tubes have been. You may not be able to get a 52" or 65" size TV, but you can still get 26", 32" etc for a damn good price these days.
Hint: don't rule out WalMart, OfficeMax/Depot, etc. Sometimes you find good bargains in the least expected places. |

| I just base my views on the prices at our local Fry's. The only ones sub $1000 are the ones with the red tag which means you pretty much get the display model which has been abused and of course usually has visible picture problems.
My car isn't that crappy, maybe it was an exaggeration... but I'm not far off. '91 Integra and '82 Vision. Reliable but old with high mileage. |

| Well, you don't have to help me understand or bash Fry's.... I used to live in Sacramento... it was home to the returns center. Many of the items from around the state would be shipped into Sacramento and had the White Tag on the box.. they allowed anything to come back and just assumed that people made up excuses that something didn't work in order to get a refund. They'd re-shrink wrap it and put it on the shelf not checking it. (Verified fact)
Seriously.. check places that you wouldn't expect.. you'd be amazed what you can find these days. |

My TV did cost about as much as my car did (a '91 Accord), but that's why I drive an old car, so I can spend the money on things that I find more entertaining.  |
