Should I buy or should I wait?

With the new crop of TVs coming out soon for the holiday season is it

models will be cheaper (list price) and more advanced than the previous
models of the same company, I would assume (I know I'm going to hear
from Jeff on that blanket statement).

Is it better to wait a month or two or get one that is on sale now? The
sale is from a regular price of about $4,000.00 to $3,400.00 and the TV
has a ATSC tuner built in (which is important to me).

Everyone's opinions are welcomed.


That depends, are you a football fan? You'll get untold pleasure of
watching this season in HD than waiting until it's nearly done.

Hockey, if anything. And hopefully CBC will be showing it in high def.
Anyone know for sure?

I don't think CBC is high def, could be wrong though.

ESPN shows some hockey games, don't they. You might want to check
their schedule to see if it's worth it to you.

Not to mention the new Fall network shows start in a couple of weeks.

Yes they are. Just not sure about all of the hockey games. They showed
the Hockey World Cup in HD and SD, as the recent link I provided attests to.
We have a few stations broadcasting OTA in Toronto including CBC but not
all cities, as of yet.

On the other hand, there are deals to be had right now. www.6ave.com has
the Sharp Aquos 37 inch LCD LC-37D5U for U$2236. This set has TV Guide and
all the tuners.

Hi,
Please keep in mind the original poster is in Canada.
I am looking around for 42" LCD or Plasma panel as well.

I beleive ESPN dropped their NHL game coverage. In the US at least
games will be covered on the Outdoor Life channel (or words to that
effect).

LOL. Too bad they're probably all gone now.

All the posts here and no mercy for the suckers

To all the newbies, don't bother with this newsgroup, it's just for
people who like to argue.

Go over to www.avsforum.com for info on good deals before they sell
out.
