BUMP

I would definitely purchase one, but in Wisconsin it is $976 due to markup law. May have to drive to Illinois.
Sale starts at 10PM Thursday.

Wow that blows! I had never heard of such a thing, so I looked it up:

From http://datcp.wi.gov/:

Commonly referred to as the "Minimum Markup Law," is a general trade practice regulation prohibiting sales below cost. The law considers the practice of selling below cost to attract patronage a form of deceptive advertising which diverts business from retailers who maintain a fair pricing policy, ultimately resulting in lessened competition and market disruption. The law provides the following:

General merchandise other than alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and other tobacco products may not be sold at less than cost by either wholesalers or retailers. “Cost” is defined as invoice cost or replacement cost whichever is lower, less all trade discounts, plus any excise taxes and any cost incurred for transportation and any other charges not otherwise included in the invoice cost or replacement cost of the merchandise.

Must suck to be a FW'er in WI...

I hope I can buy two... but might not even be able to get one.

Same price I paid for my 55inch LG Smart tv 2 yrs ago with a p/m to a Frys add, not that big a deal IMHO

I guess a vizio could be compared to the LG tho

Does any one know the model number. possibly E601i-A3

Someone posted above, but no one has responded. Can we buy now and price match then so we don't have to stand in line? Also the model number?

Didn't know "BF deals in Wisconsin" is a myth!!!

since WalMart is doing "guaranteed" items this year ... will this be one of them? I will be visiting family out of state that week. Id love to get a price guarantee card and then just buy it when I get back home...

Wondering the same thing. I may pick up the E601I-A3, and if they don't price match I will just return/rebuy, but trying to get confirmation.

to this TV...I had one and sent it back.

Hmmm. Recommendations on a VCR I can hook my camcorder to, to copy my home vids?

Nice TV and great price, BUT be aware there is no VESA complaint wall mount holes in the back of this thing, so it can only sit on the included stand. can not be wall mounted.

If it's this one, then it sure can be mounted:

Wall Mount Specifications
Hole Pattern: 400mm x 400mm
Screw Size: M6
Screw Length: 10mm
Screw Pitch: 1mm

An incredibly judgemental elitist that can be bought for a few dollars. Your willing to compromise your moral superiority beliefs and dwell with the "scum of the earth" for a good deal on a TV? YOUR THE REAL WINNER DUDE! You disgust me. I feel sorry for the BF shoppers at WalMart.

YOU'RE right, I'll leave it to mental midgets like you. It's not judgemental, its real life. WalMart is dirty, with poor products and a clientele that has their own website dedicated to them.

Theres no shitseenattarget website.

i think there's a issue between someones keyboard and chair!

Be careful. They used "mental midgets" as an insult. If you push too hard, they may sling something at you as advanced as 1992 Lingo, that's a FULL DECADE harsher insult that could be coming your way!!! Not to mention, they're making the assumption someone's intelligence is lacking when they are looking to find a great deal and don't discriminate on where they find it.... which I find extremely ironic.

Doesn't it exclude BF deals...may be somewhere it is printed in microlines???

I have two of these and I got them at 999 and they are worth every single penny. They are amazing as 60" computer monitors on my GTX 680 and they run flawlessly with no lag and they are extremely bright. I had to dial back the brightness because it hurt my eyes. Before them I tried every panel around the 1k to 1.2k mark and these bar none beat anything in that price range. At under 700 bucks these things are going to FLY off the shelves.

Can you purchase the warranty from Costco if the TV is purchased elsewhere?
I do not have a Costco membership, so, can I have a friend buy the warranty, and I register my TV with it?

TIA!

That was a joke, right? If not, why not call them and ask them, I am sure they have prank calls all the time.
