$600 television. What would you buy? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

tinytim · 10-17-2004, 04:45 PM

I have about $600 to spend on a tv. I'm not real sure exactly what I'm looking for. I'd like it to be widescreen and it doesn't need to be very big. I'm not interested in little 15" plasma or anything. Mabye the 25" inch range. From shopping around it looks like I can spend up to $300 or over $1500, not much in the middle ranges though.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Any suggestions?

I wouldn't spend 600 bucks on a TV.

The cheapest I've seen HDTV widescreens is 1000 bucks. So 600 bucks is not going to do HDTV. And 600 bucks is too much for a standard tube TV.. So I'd either look for a good 32" in the 300-400 range, or wait and get a HDTV.

Just did a quick look at BestBuy, you are either going to get a LCD at like 15 inches or you are going to get a 32+ incher with money left over. If you only want to spend 600 check ebay or something or look for refurbed models of HDTVs. But still, spend much less or save up for much more.

tinytim · 10-19-2004, 03:19 PM

I was kidding, thanks for the link. Thats pretty much exactly what I was looking for.

saigon1965 · 10-19-2004, 04:58 PM

Have you checked out Costco yet? they seem to have a pretty good supplies of tele at not a bad price either. Are you limiting yourself to 26" because of room or budget?

tinytim · 10-20-2004, 12:47 AM

check out Overstock.com -- their stock changes almost daily, most of the electronics tehy sell are either reburbs or open boxes (it wil tell you in the ad) Prices are great, shipping is cheap, and I've never had a problem with anything I've gotten from them

For 600 i would recommend that same samsung someone else posted, for 1400 i would recommend a Mistubishi 48", used to sell them at bestbuy, cant find it on their site anymore. Mitsubishi makes the best Big Screen Projections Tv's bar none.
