TV Question
 

So our local TV place has a sale on some Samsung plasma TVs. For a 60" plasma 1080P it is $650. Is this something I should jump on? I'm not a huge TV guy, but for $650 it sounded like a steal. Any thoughts?

Buy it. Good deal.

Which Samsung plasma is it?

$650 isnt bad..but it may not be a smoking deal either.
It somewhere between a decent deal and a smoking deal.

I'd assume the 500(0) series. If its a higher series than that it's a steal. You get used to 60" fast. I remember when the 58" 720p was like $5999.

Minor threadjack, but I'm looking around the 50-55" range for a tv in the next couple of months. It seems like you can get a screen at that size for anywhere from $400-$1500, depending on what "smart" features it has and probably some other minutiae I'm not even sure of. What "smart" features are worth having?

SI

I'm in the same boat as sterlingice.

If I was going to stay with DirecTV I know that certain Samsung units can function as a box for your system. Otherwise I'm not sure what else really matters much if you're going to have multiple consoles plugged in. I like the way that Plasma handles motion. I'd probably avoid the cheapest units but I wouldn't go all out either.

+1...Except I wasnt aware of the Diretv deal...that is interesting.

You can get a 60" Panasonic Plasma for less than $900 that set up properly will make your friends ask how much you paid...

Couldn't tell which Samgung the deal was for. Will need to check.
