I'm in the market to buy a television & need assistance.

$199 is insane for that teevee.  I'd buy two of them minimum.

[Munson]

haha even though it's bottom of the barrel?

I wish I could afford to buy two.

[Tomahawk]

back it up further: 

don't put a television in your bedroom

bedrooms are for farging sleeping reading and dressing....that's it.

white trash weirdo

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah the lower model ones do.

My mom bought one - as soon as I heard it I went out and bought her a new one.

If you have to wait for 10 hours on Thanksgiving to save $100, your time is clearly worth very little.

Sad.

[General_Failure]

At least they were entertained by the prospect of horrible, deadly car accidents at that intersection.

and your bank account is worth even less

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

If you have that little money, you shouldn't spend it on a TV. Wait for an idiot like me to buy a TV I don't need, then buy my old one on craigslist for pennies on the dollar.

But anyway, BLACK FRIDAY!

Been looking to upgrade from my 8 yr old Sony Wega for a few months now. Came across a 51" Samsung @ Best Buy yesterday. Reg price $1100, on sale for $800. Has all the bells and whistles...3D, Smart TV w/web browser, 1080, 600hz, etc. also has a 2D to 3D converter that gives regular channels some nice 3D depth, but you don't have things popping off the screen at you.  But it's a plasma. I looked up reviews while in the store and saw overwhelming positive reviews.  I know a few years back there were issues with images burning into the screen but they seem to have resolved that for the most part.

Hooked it up last night and the pic is amazing. 3D conversion is pretty cool but after a few minutes wearing the goggles my eyes start to hurt a little. I assume it'll take some time to get used to them.

Anyway, anyone have thoughts on plasmas?  They seem to be a lot more stable than when they first came on the scene.  Should I be worried at all?  I can return in 30 days, hassle free.

Also, I saw on BB's website today that they knocked another $100 off the price so I'll be collecting that tomorrow.

Don't leave anything paused for several hours and you should be fine.

Holy Christ, unemployment and living at Mom's sounds good.

Seems like sound advice.
