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, 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. 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.. 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.

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. I have a Vizio 32" for my computer monitor and love it. It's a led/lcd unit as well.
