You're not supposed to read reviews after you purchase.  Content: is there a better or worse time of year to buy a television, price-wise?

Uziel posted:It says April/May, but I also always thought that right before the Superbowl is good assuming you live in the US. I bought my current HDTV right before the Superbowl and felt like I got a good deal. I'm still happy with it years later but my wife wants a plasma to hang on the wall and reclaim the space taken up by our RPHDTV. It's difficult to argue with getting a new tv.

My 8 year old RPHDTV is tired so I'm doing my homework now with plans to buy a new TV in the next month or so. 1. Gaming : does LCD vs Plasma matter anymore? 2. Is video lag a concern with gaming anymore? 3. Is one 3D technology better than another? Not sure what my budget will be yet but I want to round out my knowledge so that if I run across a good deal I can pounce.

Well when I started I was pretty certain I wanted an LCD (rather than plasma) but after reading some on Cnet and a few other sites I'm more informed and more confused than ever. I'm looking hard at this U50 I've seen mentioned a bunch of times.

I have 8 year old Hitachi, 1080i, 46", RPHDTV that I'm about to replace. The picture is great but is it worth trying to sell? I see tons of them on craigslist but I don't know if they ever actually sell.

Think I'm about to pull the trigger on this LG 47CM565 47" LCD http://www.amazon.com/LG-47CM565-47-Inch-Cinema-1080p/dp/B0074WVSFI/ref=dp_return_2?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics Any opinions?

Well, last minute decision and I bought the JVC 47" LCD for $399 at Walmart, hopefully it doesn't bite me in the rear end.

The 47" JVC LCD I bought from Walmart.com on Black Friday arrived today, a week early. The picture looks fine to me, better than my old RPHDTV which needs new lamps. The only downside so far is that channels are a bit slow when changing. I do have a question though... the tv speakers do not work when the tv is connected with hdmi, is that normal? My old tv is dvi/component so this is my first experience with hdmi. satellite > Onkyo receiver > JVC tv

BrettRobb posted:That might have something to do with your receiver not passing through audio. I have an older onkyo myself, and the only time I've noticed sound coming out of the Tv's speakers is when I forget to turn on my receiver. Figured it out this morning, there was a setting under hardware. This (HT-RC260) has been the fussiest receiver I've ever owned (not because of this particular question), I don't know that I'd buy another Onkyo after this one. It sounds better than my old Pioneer but only after extensive tweaking. Sometimes I want to go back to my old Sony, that thing always sounds great.
