    I was wondering if anyone knew of any good deals on TV's right now.

    I'm looking on buying one.

    Under $1000 would be nice.

    Anyone?

            There are usually used HDTV capable big screens in the paper for less than 1000...I'm not sure if you are looking to go used or not, just thought I'd throw the idea out there.

              20" for $950 is a bit pricey...

                    The funny thing is, around here HDTV really doesn't mean shit unless you have satelitte.

                    We have CableOne Digital, and you have to pay $10 on top of the already outrageous price of digital cable to get like 4 HD channels.

                    Regular Digital TV looks like shit even with HDMI cables / pure Digital signal to mine.

                    Depending on what your looking for, I'd go EDTV or just SDTV unless all you watch is DVD movies....

                      You can pick up high def channels with an off air antenna as long as the tv has a built in high def tuner. CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX all have either high def or digital in off air.

                        What brand/model are you looking for, I can get a few brands as well. Shoot me a PM with whatever you are interested in.

                              Don't waste your time w/ anything other than HD, you'll be wanting it and the cost isn't that great (compared to upgrading in a couple of years). If you'd like a practical look at HD, drop me a PM and you can view it at my house.

                              Do you want a Tube, LCD, Plasma or Big Screen (DLP)? What size are you looking for?

                              Keep an eye on Slickdeals.net - they have good deals on LCD TV's...

                                    On a side note, what are you guys paying for CableOne TV and how many channels?

                                    Dish Network has a lot of HD channels, DirectTV has a few more than CableOne.

                                      I would question whether or not the CableOne HD channels are true HD or if they're down-converting the 1080 signal... just a thought based on the hardware and infrastructure required to deliver HD - I don't have anything that would prove it is or isnt....

                                        It's real HDTV...

                                        You have to buy a different cable box (diffrent then the normal digtal box) for it and shit even if you have the HDTV Tuner in your TV set.

                                        $10 extra a month + Premium channels + digital services + whatever cable usually costs

                                        Huge rip off; if HDTV is what you want, Sat. is def. the way to go right now

                                        Sidenote: you will NOT pickup a high def channel on cable, without Digital service + HDTV tuner box

                                          The edge of my couch is 8 feet away from the edge of where I want the TV. I can't go super huge because I have my speakers/sub/DVD/AMP/RECEIVER/SUB and a fishy tank all to contend with that side of the living room. I have a really nice entertainment stand right now that can fit a TV up to 36 inches across, and I would like to keep that. Right now I have about $1500 worth of audio equiptment surrounding a $60 19 inch hundai special from walmart. A nice 32 inch tube will suit me fine for the next 4 or 5 years. I just need help deciding which one, and what I need to get. EVERYone tells me I need a 16:9 aspec ratio because broadcasts will be changed to widescreen in 2009.

                                          I am so confused on TV's. I don't need a GIANT TV right now. I have other stuff to pay for too (like car stuff...n stuff)
