Any confirmation on the 42" Vizio Plasma from Costco? As far as I've heard, there is only a $200 coupon on it and the current price of the TV is 1299 direct from Vizio. Costco also doesn't seem to discount Vizio's TVs so unless they drop the price $100 and also apply the $200 coupon, it would seem that the final price of this TV would be $1099. I would really like to buy a 42" TV for under $1000, and the only other one that meets that requirement is the 42" Viore Plasma from Wal-Mart, but I'm obviously a little weary of buying a TV from a brand like "Viore". Vizio at least has a legitimate Website and Costco's return policy is very good, so if anyone can confirm that $1000 price, I will definitely camping out in front of Costco.

Thanks!

Hi Shash, thanks for confirming that for me. Do you have any idea if Costco will still have those booklets to hand out by the 22nd? I am actually at school right now and we don't have a local Costco nearby so I can't secure a coupon booklet before I get back home. Does anybody know if Costco usually physically requires the coupons on Black Friday? I want to be sure that I'll at least have a chance at it before I get back home for Thanksgiving break. Or can anyone mail me the coupon book- I'd be willing to pay to have it sent to me. Or does Costco also send the coupon flyers in their e-mails? Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

gdr75 said:May be this is just a bit out side all the talk of LCD's and plasma's, can anyone throw some light on the 51 inch Hitachi inch projection TV for $699. I am just looking for an upgrade to a hd tv and space is not a problem. Thanks and appriciate your suggestions in advance.

I was really excited about this deal until I went to BB to look at them. Compared to the LCD projection TVs or DLP TVs the viewing angle is really crappy. The picture is great if you as sitting in the sweet spot, but if more than a two people are going to be watching at a time I think you'll be happier with a LCD or DLP RP set. You should go to BB and check in out. The one I went to had one on display.

Hey does anyone have a reference chart to till what i should look for? Like how can i tell if the ratio 800:1 to 1200:1 is better?(Higher the better i assume) and etc. for HDTV Sorry just thought it would help me narrow down what i would like for blackfriday on an 32 inch TV.
thanks
Peter

i just got back from costco and got their black friday ad. the vizio is going to be 999 on black friday.

Anyone seen anything about Microcenter deals on BF? I'm counting on them to deliver a good Olevia deal, like last year.

Can i buy any of this tv now and go back on bf for price adjustment?

gdr75- The Hitachi is a wonderful set and an absolute steal at that price.

here is the best deal I have seen
32" at Home Depot? for 430
