i got the 1080p philips 42" LCD last week when it was $680. Hoping everything is kosher with it. I should have it by Monday or so.

got it from where?

12/7/2007 11:05:42 AM

refurbished units...



lol

philips outlet last week. they sold out in a few hours.

i know its a risk with the refurbs, but there are a couple of 3rd party warranty places that offer protection, as well as some credit card protection. For that price, it was worth the risk to me.

^ 1080p 42"? huh, that might actually be worth it. i'd have to look at the connections / tuner and few other things, but huh, i may haven gotten that.

pm me if you see that deal again. i'd probly buy

12/7/2007 11:42:11 AM

that is pretty good...

might grab that up.

12/7/2007 11:57:49 AM

newegg wants like 1200 i think for the same refurb plus 100 in shipping

12/7/2007 12:23:32 PM

with tax and shipping its like $780.

That TV pales in comparison to other good brands, but at least it's better than a westinghouse. If that's you goal, that's a pretty good deal.

I thought about getting that $180 Blu-ray player last week when that deal was on Slickdeals, but between having spent way too much money lately and the reseller ratings on that site, I decided to pass...definitely should take a look there before buying:

those sound pretty scary.

some arent. it was my best chance to get a pretty bitchin tv for awhile. i'll let everyone know if it worked out or if i got screwed.

So I got my TV yesterday, it was in perfect condition cosmetically. I haven't had a chance to test all the inputs yet, as I don't have HD service but my xbox and regular tv look great. It came with a nice stand, and everything about the picture looks flawless. I'm hoping that it holds up, but so far I am happy with my philips outlet experience.
