Anyone know of any great current flat screen deals?

In the market for a 42" and 55" inch LCD.

I know many of you are always on top of this kind of stuff.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Don't think it's that cheap, but it's still around 1k which a great deal for that TV. I know exactly which one you're talking about. The picture is outstanding.

Just got the 60" Samsung UN60ES7100. Great LED TV with built-in WiFi and apps like Netflix, etc. Wall mounting it next week. It was just over $1700 from Amazon when I ordered in January.

Follow someone home from Best Buy and take it from them when they unload it from their car.

If you aren't 100% set on getting an LCD I would suggest taking a look at the Panasonic VT50. Comes in 55" ans 65".

a Panasonic Plasma is a lot of bang for the buck. If you dont need a ton of inputs and you don't have a bright room, then a ut50 in particular once you customize the setup will give satisfying results at a very affordable price. It lacks the aggressive louver filter that is found in upscale Panasonic Plasma's which is actually a good thing.

I picked up a 50" (also have a 55") for $549 shipped/no tax from Amazon about a month ago. They price matched Frys...

Check slickdeals.net, here's a couple of nice LG LED's...

Good luck, you really can't go wrong with any tv these days.
I prefer to avoid the latest technology, "best" as tv technology is booming and in 2 years the new base $500 models will be better than the one you bought now for $2500.

Reminds me of what happened with computers...

Never heard of Abe's of Maine, but thought Ira's of North Dakota sounded like a competitor.

I almost just spit out my bagel. The choice of 'Ira' was perfect.
