I went by my local Sears to take a look at the 42" LG Plasma yesterday, and I'm rather impressed. I'll definitely be picking it up if I can indeed get it for the $675 price. In the first post it mentions that the original price of that particular TV is $900, although it was $1100 in the store, maybe it will change before Sunday?

The customer service rep I asked about the sale had no clue about any of the details, beyond being able to confirm that there is some sort of sale Sunday, between 6 and 9.

I updated the first post to implement some suggestions and include some of the new information that has come to light. I also tried to organize the information better.

I would ask that people looking for model numbers simply consult either the BF ad scans or the VIP ad scans, both of which were at least alluded to in previous posts.

More thanks to jmoney48 for the insane amount of question answering he's doing. Thankfully I don't have to bother with that because I don't have any inside info anyway.

Glad to see so many enjoying the thread...both here and over at the SD rip

Any Sears guys that would be willing to tell me what the Sammy 4071, 4671 or Sony XBR would be on Friday?

I don't know about the 60inch but the 50inch is on sale for BF. It's listed in Sears' ad, it is a Friday and Saturday deal not a doorbuster.

The TV in the ad is the KDF-50A3000, which is LCD projection. Dang, I really wish there were an SXRD on sale with these discounts.

Oops your right. Though it is actually the E3000 which makes it the LCD projector.

I want to get a TV, and I don't have the Sears card yet. I'm going to apply for one in store on the 11th. I want to get the $150/$250 Cash Back, but the problem is I'm not sure what credit limit I would be approved for. Say, suppose I want to buy a TV of $1000, but I only got approved for a Sears card of $500, can I still get the $150/$250 Cash Back?
Thanks

Quick question for those in the know:

I am looking at buying 2 different TVs this Sunday at the F&F sale. Will I be able to get all the discounts/promotions if I buy 2 TVs? Specifically - if I use my Sears card for each purchase will I get the 5%, x$$ off, and 10% MIR for each TV?

Thanks so much!

jmoney, thanks for taking the time to post all of this, but i do have 2 questions.

1. i went to Sears, and the only 50 samsung plasmas they had were the t5054 models, NOT the 5044 models. does this mean im pretty much outta luck, since the tv isnt carried in the store?

2. do i need to have a Sears card now? or can i apply for one on the day of the sale? are there any hidden fees or crazy interest rates on the Sears card?

I am looking to buy a 1080p HD LCD TV in the size range of 40" - 42" (room is too small for anything larger than 42"). Which TV would you recommend as the best deal for the F&F sale? I am looking at

Samsung 40", LN-T4061F http://www.Sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_05771067000P

or

Sharp 42", LC42D64U http://www.Sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_05771195000P

I am not sure what the difference is between them, except that the Samsung is a little smaller but still $50 more expensive than the Sharp at the current sale price on Sears.com.

Advices? Thanks!

I will tell you, I have a sharp aquos 32 inch and it is AMAZING. The picture quality surprises me even though i've had it for 9 months. Another cool thing is that all of the settings are input independant... For example, you have your XBOX on HDMI 1 and your Satellite on HDMI 2....if the color on your receiver is off and you change it, it won't change it for HDMI 1. The volume is the same, so if you want to switch to a dvd player or something it will remember the volume and not wake people up in your house.

s4shawn said:Check the avs forums about the Sharp, many complain of 'banding' issues - I've seen photos that users have posted, so when I've been looking I walk right past the Sharp TV's - Its a shame, because we do have a smaller Sharp LCD here that has been very good. I've really liked the Sammy's in my shopping so far, thought haven't paid much attention to the 4061, been more looking at the 71 series. Good luck!

From what I've read, it looks like the Sharp banding issues were definitely present but more prominent with the xxx62 series and have been largely corrected with the xxx64 series. I could be wrong but that seems to be what many reviewers have said that I've checked online.
