I've finally decided to take the plunge and buy an HDTV. I've
narrowed my
choices down to four LCDs. Please help me choose because to me they
all
look great.

Sony:
KDL-40V2500
KDL-40S3000

Dell:
W3707C

Sharp:
LC-32D62U

The Television is going to be for a bedroom that is not huge by any
means,
actually quite small. It's under 20ft x 20ft. I just want to make
the
right choice since I'll have it for years to come. Thanks!

Get a Samsung LN-T4065F (40" LCD). I just got the 46" version
(LN-T4665F) and it's awesome.

kinda can't, have credit through dell, gotta stick with those.




if you need credit to buy a TV, you do not need a TV.

Did anyone ask you? I think not, now go away.

He won't. He believes that his opinion is a "true fact". It doesn't
matter that there is *nothing* that supports his opinion.

So he's here often I see?


It's usernet(tm), so he is here as often as he cares to be. That doesn't
change much of anything. He still believes that his opinion is a "true
fact".

Which one do you want?


so when this guy is living in a box under a bridge,,,

you are going to give your money to support him, because he bought a
nice HD flat screen TV from China on his credit card.?

Instead of saving it for the future like you did.

Sorry but maybe buying a house, a kidney, or a liver transplant makes
sense to do on a credit card.

A TV does not.

People like him are the reason that this country is on the brink of
economic catastrophe,

It has nothing to do with bottomless pockets,,

It has to do with common sense,,

and common sense says - borrowing money at 22 percent to buy something
as frivolous as a big screen TV is stupid.

If you were buying a house, or a kidney then my comments are stupid.

Buying a TV - rather than saving the money for retirement, or your
kids college, that makes you stupid.


===============================
And qualifying for Magnolia Credit and buying on a no interest for 18 month
deal
makes one SMART!
I bought all my HT equipment that way and have never paid interest on any of
it.

when the great crash come - dont be one asking the responsible of us
to save you.

When the great crash come[sic], your investments will likely
be worth less than his TV.

paying 8000 dollars, for a 2500 dollar TV, that you could buy in 12
months, for $2000 , by saving 200 a month in the bank, and have 500
left over,,,,is bad advise??

no,,, I don't think so,,I am not a 'deep pocket", just an average Joe
that saved and did not borrow.

Though maybe all those Bnk CEOs , and Loan Company Presidents , Living
up on the hill in the big mansions, will ...

Right now however - they are laughing their collective asses off with
him paying 22 percent interest to watch a TV.

That is what is called a false hypothesis.

The really neat thing about a false hypothesis is that when you use one
you can "prove" anything.

Instead of saving it for the future like you did.

Um... I charged my HDTV purchase, but don't let that interfere with your
"argument".

Sorry but maybe buying a house, a kidney, or a liver transplant makes

Actually. I would expect that most people use something other than a
credit card for those transactions.

A TV does not.

Why not? I know lots of people who are in good financial shape that
occasionally use credit to buy something sooner than they otherwise
might. I'm one of them.

People like him are the reason that this country is on the brink of
economic catastrophe,

People like you, AKA non-thinkers, are the reason that Fox is considered
to be a news station.

Yes. Per what I recently read, the average credit card debt is now about
$9000. That's up from about $4000 maybe 5 - 10 years ago. Whether the
charges made to that level are important to one's survival... I sure
wouldn't know. But I bet you can count on many of them being what *I* would
label as unnecessary purchases by those who have no idea how to manage
money. No one NEEDS a fancy tv. "Want," yes... "need," no. I suspect many,
many people don't know the difference.

And no, we have NO idea what the OP's financial situation is, and I don't
care.

Hey - you have the facts,,

Whether anyone else wants to listen to them, does not make them less
facts.

Mr wants a TV could easily save 200 bucks a month fot a year, and then
pay cash, and have money left over,,,for say educating his kids, or
taking a vacation.

However Mr "Martin" lacks the basic math to understand that.

Thank you for posting from someone that does,
