I was wondering if anyone could make a suggestion for a good deal to be had in Canada. I'd like about 50in. give or take, with 1080p. It doesn't have to be top of the line but I'd like it to be modern-looking (i.e. thin bezel, etc.). I don't care about 3D and I mostly want it to be good for watching sports. It would be in a room with windows along the wall, but with blinds that can be lowered. Ideally, I'd like to spend under $700. Since I realize this is a tall order, I was also wondering if anyone has experience with refurbished models/dealers. Thanks guys!

Mister Macys posted:The biggest difficulty is getting a 47"+ TV for $700. $800 would be better. $900 would be ideal. As you've likely noticed prices are easily 10-20% higher than in the United States. Before sales taxes. At that price point, you generally are limited to plasmas and store/value brands. Plasmas and budget brands will have a larger bezel bordering the display, and the TV's actual thickness will be greater. Naturally, my first recommendation is a road trip to an American Walmart/Best Buy/Target/Fry's Electronics. Barring that, here's what I could find: Thanks a ton man, I'll check these links. That said, I'll also look into driving to Vermont soon (I'm in Montreal).

I hate to ask the same question a few months later, but I decided to wait until as close as possible to football season to get the most current deal. I'm looking for as large as possible a TV (ideally 50+ in.) with 1080p and a good refresh rate (I'm primarily going to be using it for sports). I don't care about 3D or videogames, so if I can avoid some features that apply mostly to those and save money then great--ideally, I'd like to spend <$800, although I guess I could go up to $1000 for a really good value. Has anyone seen any particularly good deals available right now that fit this general description? Thanks! edit: are refurbished TVs a uniformly terrible idea?

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889005318 Would you guys consider this a good deal even if I don't particularly care about 3D? On paper it seems to be a huge discount...

Aphrodite posted:Unfortunately, it is not. yeah, I am in Canada. Are prices a lot worse here for TVs? I basically just want to find the best possible value on a relatively state of the art (with the exception of 3D, and specifically as pertains to sports) TV that's at least close to 50", and in the next week so that I have it in time for football season.

Mister Macys posted:0-20% worse, depending on the product, and the venue you're purchasing from. Thanks! So is there a general consensus that plasma is better than LED and LCD for sports? I see that they tend to have much better refresh rates, but is that far and away the most important consideration?

Just picked up an LG 55LM9600 for $1250 last night at Newegg. Must have gotten one of the last ones because it was unsurprisingly sold out within an hour of my order. Seems to have some quality control issues based on the large discrepancy in reviews, but worst case scenario I can return in. If I get a good set though, it sure feels good to pay $1250 for a TV that's been sold for $3500--especially in Canada, where it seems so much harder to find deep discounts--even if it's not quite good enough to justify that price. Definitely recommend Newegg for anyone looking for a good deal in Canada. Also, the 5mm bezel is absolutely gorgeous:
