Big Screen TV?
 
So does anybody know who is selling any "New" 55-60" tv's out there at really screaming good prices. Prefer something in lower mainland/fraser valley area and with the following perameters. led/lcd wi/fi {3d optional} let me know. No panic as the living rooms not finished yet.

Looks like Costco is changing stock. On the weekend was seeing bunch of the displays going some $400 less than regular and discounts on the ones still in the box.

Costco had 60 " plasma for $1199 and a 55"LED for 1099 last I was there month ago or so
They werent big name companies tho but Costco warranty is really good apparently
I would consider those screaming good prices for that size TV

You can't beat Costco's return policy, I have never heard a single complaint from anyone about trying to return something. I had a 7 year old jogging stroller that I broke the handle on. I went back to Costco to see if I could order a part for it, they said they couldn't and without a receipt they just gave me my money back for something I had fully used with 2 kids for many years. I told them I didn't need a refund as I felt it was way beyond warrenty and I enjoyed many years out of it but they practically forced my money back on me! I had an older projector TV from Costco that wasn't a major brand name either and after waiting 10 years for the thing to die I finally had to give it away on Kijiji so I could by a new 55"LCD.

Costco has changed their return policy for electronics items, and rightly so. People were returning 5+ year TVs for a full refund, just so they could upgrade to the latest model:

Buy near Xmas
 
Best prices is at around Xmas and shortly after. New tvs are shown to the trade during ces in January...consumer electronics show. In lower mainland, also try memory express
.com. For 55 inch led, a good price is 899 or so. If you got 3500$' get a 70 inch one.... 2 hrs ago, these were 8ooo$.

Costco has always had a written return policy for all their products, it's there for people who abuse it. Buy a TV from any electronics store and after a month decide you don't like it and see how much money you get back from them. To be honest I have never had a TV fail on me so it doesn't matter to me where I buy one but I have been happier with some TV's and not with others which is were Costco is nice. Take a TV home and if it's not at all what you thought it would be like in your own home you can take it back for a full refund. The only problem is Costco's selection is smaller and they don't carry every brand or the very newest sets.

I herd Vision offers a warranty that in case that you do NOT use it the ammount will go back to your credit card after waranty expired.
But i dont know if this is true or not.

Yes the tank is big enough:lol:, but with the massive renos being done on the house right now, I convinced the wife to move the 47" downstairs and get a 55"-60" for upstairs above the new fireplace.:wink: So far I am really liking the LG at future shop for $1899. Just not sure whether the added 3D features are worth it or not. Really sweet pic though in 2D. Barb is already giving me flack about the 32" I am using in my "Man Cave" for my computer. Havent told her about turning the house wi-fi compatible so I can use the new big screen.:biggrin:. Looked at Costco but the selection wasn't the best, prices ok though. Will check them out online as well. Tried ebay, no screaming great deals and then it is usually a bit of a hassle for wty. Keeping in the search mode for now.:mrgreen:

I bought a 55" at Christmas because it was on sale for under a thousand but still wish I had went with a 60". It doesn't sound like much but the size is noticable. I didn't look at 3D TV's because I wear glasses and it's uncomfortable to wear 2 sets all the time, I don't even like 3D movies for this reason. I talked to a marketing manager at one of the stores I went to and he said 3D TV's that don't need glasses will be available in 4-5 years. One thing I did notice is that there is big picture quality difference in HD TV's when it comes to standard definition TV stations, some TV's are just terrible with fuzzy over pixelated images well others are crystal clear. So ask to see a standard definition channel played on the demo TV while at the store.

Well I made the purchase today, I went with a Vizio55" Led/Lcd "vf551xvt" 240hz non/3d but fantastic picture. And it has all the bells and whistles I need. Price was great.$925.00 plus tax. wall mounts as well $35.00 each. Just a long trip into Vancouver to a place called the "Open Box". Couldn't beat the price for the same quality, even on Ebay etc. I hope I enjoy it as much in a years time.:lol: I have a Vizio 32" for my computer monitor and love it. It's a led/lcd unit as well.
