Is it just me, or does anyone else think this is an amazing deal:

42" TV, 1080p for $996.99 from Best Buy
TV

Anyone know the catch here? It's like $1000 off the list price...

The contrast isn't that great. The Sharp 46D64 is on sale at CC for $1300 on BF. That's a better set, and it has a 20% bigger screen.

Thanks, I didn't notice that. I didn't think they still made TVs with a 1200:1 CR.

But damn, what a ridiculous deal on the Sharp TV.

I got this for $1300 before shipping (over $1400 total) a couple of months back during their F&F promotion. Awesome deal indeed!

where did u buy this?

[Hoya]

If you aren't a baller, don't bother with 1080p at 42, because you won't notice a difference.

Dell website sale through 11/26 or while supplies last... I am looking at getting one also.

Although I think there are some laptops for 400 and you can get them with XP. (look under small business)

Whats the word with Vista?

You can get the deal either way (XP or Vista).

Vista - some programs don't run on it yet. Also you probably need 2 GB RAM to run it properly. At least that is what I keep reading on other (more technical) message boards.

So if you want to keep your cost down while having the best performing machine that you can, I would go with XP with this deal.

** Again, not a computer know-it-all but where I go to learn about these things this is the prevailing opinion, even when the board was discussing this exact deal.
