Says it costs 775...what deals are you using to get it down to 600+?

I assume they have to do with you working there but if not then let me (us) know.

They have a deal going where if you apply for a Sears card in store you get a 10% off pass for 3 days. Then i get 10% off for working there. Which brings to like 630 plus tax.

I thought it looked crappy in store, but bought it anyway because I heard that once you adjusted the settings and got a good signal, it looked great. Turned out to be very true in my case.

[Nicholasp27]

yeah, stores almost never have the settings right

they also will make the more expensive models look better by putting the right settings on them and incorrect settings on the cheaper tvs

they also many times don't even use an hd source and cabling to the tvs

etc etc

re: 720p vs. 1080p

I really don't see the big deal. I know it's great to debate technical specs and future proof and all, but the reality of the situation is that a good quality 720p/1080i picture looks very very good, and it will for a long time even when 1080p gets more maintstream. The majority of people probably can not tell the difference in 1080p and 720p on a 42". I've never once found myself watching a quality HD picture and thinking "damn, I wish I was watching this in 1080p". All I can think is "damn, this looks so damn good."

Damn Sears is cold blooded. I guess they sold a crap load of these, so many that you can't even order it now and they completely removed it from their website. Argh this sucks.
