no shit!!

In other news, I found a Vizio wholesaler in Orange County that has those Vizio TVs pretty cheap. And open to the public. 37" for $499. Compared to $689 at Costco. Place I found in South Dakota for $539 is actually refurbished. Vizio isn't my first choice when it comes to brands, but picture is great for the price.

He didn't say anything about SF DJs being better than SoCal DJs....he said DJs play better in SF. I take that if the same DJ (like Armin) plays in both LA and SF, you can bet his SF set will prob be way better.

If history is any indication, it's true, IMO! :-)

The marginal utility of saving $200-$300 would'nt be enough for me on a longterm investment like a TV to choose Vizio over a Samsung or Sony. And your Sony or Samsung might actually have a bit of resale when you went to get rid of it. Just sayin. Welcome and good luck in southern cali.

Dell at the moment has deal on a Sony Bravia KDL-46V4100 46" 1080p flat-panel LCD HDTV $930 ($893 w/ DPA)

Best Buy is selling it for $1599

I have a strict budget for my purchase at the moment. I don't have a job...hehe...I'll go a little over it if it's worth it...but that's it.


The plan for this TV (it being my first HDTV since the last couple places I've lived my roommmate(s) have already had swank ones so i didn't need to worry about it.) is to use it in the living room for now and then once I have a solid job again and can get a nice one, get the LCD that I want with the features I want. And put what I buy now in the bedroom.

As HDTV clarity is increasing at a rapid rate and response time decreases (as a guy who works in video production and worked on 100% HD material between early 2005 upto when I was laid off a few months ago, I notice quality differencees very easily between HDTV), I don't plan on any HDTV I buy at this time to be considered a longterm investment. And no HDTV you buy at this time will be worth anything in a few years. Look at HDTV prices a few years ago and how much they are worth now.

Then you should get one off craigslist that is still under some sort of warranty for $400-$500 Cash, if its only shorterm.

Yeah, where I'm finding public wholesalers in Orange county that have the 37" Vizio for $500 ...another place for $550 out the door.

I've seen costco sales/coupons for like... $500? 550? Perhaps that was for a 32 inch 1080i though.

Doh. I have a car today to drive around. Dunno if I'll have one later this week. I won't be buying my own car until we are cmopletely moved.

Trying to keep my cost at $600 or less, out the door (that stupid CA dispoal fee and tax included, though most places in OC that sell TVs super cheap say no sales tax)

Open Box is fine as long I can get a warrantee.
