Wireless capable TVs are sitting and waiting for the inventory of these TVs to be bought up-buy them up people so we get on to the next technology....this stupid ecomomy is slowing down progress!

"Wireless capable TVs" lol.. and this new marketing bullet does what, exactly? You realize this has an ATSC (digital) tuner which receives TV signals... wirelessly!

I am personally anxious to see what BF deals there will really be. IF you are patient, there are PLENTY of hot deals that do not require camping out in the cold or risk being trampled in a stampede. I plan to stay warm, stuffed and drunk on Turkey day watching football, and not get caught up in all of the marketing hype. Kind of disappointed that people here are still buying in to it.

If you are concerned with the reliability of an item such as this, buy a Squaretrade extended warranty.

Many FWers picked up 42"+ LCDs for this (and lower) over the past two years, thanks to Worstbuy HD Advantage promotions.

that's probably just the importer who puts their name on the TV. they most likely buy from a Chinese manufacturer, but who? could be a factory that already makes TVs for other major brands which if so, should have good manufacturing standards. but if not, then questionable. LCD screens are only made by a few manufacturers so that should be ok (except possible concern that a small company would not have the clout to demand the best ones; ie, zero dead pixels).

What ever next... "wireless" radios I bet????

And then "wireless" phones!

The "wireless" Plasma tv in a recent CompUSA ad sounded like a 802.11 bridge built into the base so that your gaming console could plug in the base. None of the tv signals were going through the "wireless" portion of the tv.

You want info? Call the 1-800 on Monday and chat with someone in tech support. They might to be very forthcoming with the straight dope.

Having to wait until Monday to get tech support, should tell you something.

Best T.V. I ever had.

That's just my opinion though.

not that I am dissing you, but I bet that was the only plasma you've had.
How many plasma's does someone have to own before you aren't dissing them?


I've owned 42" vizio plasma, 50" Vizio plasma, 42" Sceptre LCD, 52" Philips LCD, 50" Panasonic Plasma, and 42" Philips Plasma to this date. Best TV I've had was 52" Philips LCD so far.

I just can't trust anyone claiming to have the best TV in his life when in fact he busted his butt on black friday to buy a haier brand for $499. The best TV in his life, not your life. Sounds like you've got plenty of disposable income and you're burning up the plasmas and lcd's. Not everyone is so finicky that they aren't satisfied with the first screen they get. So, if he says it's the best tv he has ever had, how do you disagree?

See. You are mistaken. He can afford all these TVs. But doesn't have health insurance so he can't seek help from a Shrink. Perhaps he should have thought of seeing a Shrink v/s buying all those TVs.

So who's the OEM of this set? There's so much crap in this thread already, sorry if I missed it.

PS. Phillips TV's stink. They might be the only brand in history to sell more refurbs than new. Might be the only product in history to have one million PPM.
