I'd say you're about $100 higher than the best BF deal.

Hi where did you find the link for Bing CB ... and ebates CB ??

Thanks,
Goodbadmas

 

My effective cost was
$400
- $20 (Sears card discount)
- $30.40(Bing CB - already in the account)
- $19 (Fatwallet CB - Still waiting to see in the account)
- $15.20(ebates CB - i d'ont know if im going to get that or not)
+ $22.80 taxes
_________
$338.20

NOW THATS A KNOCKER FOR 32" 1080p LCD!!!!! AND THAT AS WELL FROM NUMBER ONE LCD TV SELLING BRAND VIZIO!!!! COULDN'T HAVE MISSED THAT!!!!

AND BTW, PQ IS AWESOME AS EXPECTED. SQ IS FANTASTIC AND ITS 1080p SO MY PS3 LOOKS G.R.E.A.T
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

vampirenn said: 1lossir, I don’t think there is a 32" VIZIO 1080P for $380 this BF.Check http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/968537/

You're right. But you said in the OP "BlackFriday already in affect, this is the best 32" 1080P deal i can find for BF". You didn't say "Vizio 32" 1080p", hence my comment.

So, where exactly is a BF deal for a *1080p* 32" for less than $399 ???

montyp said: @vampirenn
yes, just picked it up on Wednesday! funny thing is i don't even have Sears card, i just used my regular credit card and to my surprise $20 was taken off at the final checkout. May be there was some problem with their checkout system. And im definitely not complaining...

@goodbadmas
you can go to ebates.com and search for Sears store cupons.
For bing, just go to bing.com, search for 'Sears CashBack', click on the first link and ur' in!

Hope that works for you.

This set has a very good picture, sound and reputation....doubt
you can do better for about $350.

Why you would need 1080p on this small of a TV is beyond me? But I wonder if it would make a nice computer monitor, or is the resolution still not enough for that type of use?

@nosatalian, well even i read somewhere that 32" won't make a difference between 1080p and 720p, but yea, it does make a lot of difference when you play PS3 or blue ray movie on 1080p compared to 720p. And yea you can definitely use it as computer monitor.

@jimyankel: to be honest i dont know if you can stack the CBs. But i did read somewhere that it works. So lets wait and watch!

FWIW, this $400 Sears 1080p Java Vizio (Model SL320M) also has an incredible Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 50,000/1 when measured with DCR, while the $448 WalMart 1080p Java Vizio (Model VOJ32) typical contrast ratio is only 1,300/1.

[EDIT: Turns out the 50,000/1 is a Dynamic Contrast Ratio [DCR], and the 1,300/1 is probably a Static Contrast Ratio -- apples and oranges -- sorry.]

[EDIT #2: At vizio.com, the typical Contrast Ratio Specs for Model VOJ320F1A are 1,300/1 AND 6,500/1 when measured with DCR, so it probably is fair to compare the Sears $400 VL320m DCR of 50,000/1 with the WalMart $448 VOJ32 DCR of 6,500/1.

BTW, List Prices @vizio.com are $650 for the VL320m, and $600 for the VOJ320F1A (which may or may not be identical to the WalMart Model VOJ32).]

A high contrast ratio is a desirable feature on any display. By definition, contrast ratio measures the luminosity of the brightest and darkest color that an LCD can display. If a display has a poor contrast ratio there will be a lack of true black and desaturated colors.

There are a variety of methods that can be used to measure a display's contrast ratio and each of these methods can provide a wide array of results for the same display. A typical contrast ratio may be noted as 1000:1 or 100:1. The larger number will result in the best contrast. Display manufacturers and designers prefer different methods of measurements.

Manufacturers measure the contrast ratio based on methods that isolate the display from the system, whereas, designers prefer methods that allow them to factor in the room effect. Ideally a room absorbs all light and the only light displayed would be from the monitor, however, in actual rooms some of the light is reflected back to the display which effectively decreases the contrast ratio.

To further complicate contrast ratio measurements, one must consider both static and dynamic contrast ratios. The static ratio only considers luminosity levels at a single instance in time, whereas, the dynamic ratio considers the luminosity the monitor displays over a period of time. This may be thought of more simply by referring to the static ratio as measuring a static image and the dynamic ratio by considering the affects of a more dynamic or moving image.

Ideal Room Measurement
This type of measurement is typical of manufacturers because it results in the highest possible contrast ratios. This is done by keeping the room at optimum conditions so that the reflective light remains constant. Testing in this manner has no affect on luminance levels, however, it does inflate the light levels.

Real Room Measurement
Contras ratios are more realistic when measured in real rooms that expose the display to conditions where some light is reflected back to the display. ANSI contrast simultaneously measures luminosity values using a checker board patterned test image.

The Ideal Room Measurement (full on/full off) measurement method effectively measures the dynamic contrast ratio of a display, while the Real Room Measurement (ANSI contrast) is best used to measure static contrast ratio.

Comparing dynamic and static contrast ratios is similar to one trying to compare apples and oranges. These items should never be directly compared. Some manufactures choose to market only the dynamic contrast ratio when the result is better than the display's static ratio. A display with a static contrast ratio of 10000:1 is a much better display than one with a 10000:1 dynamic and 5000:1 static contrast ratio when the input signal contains full range of brightness' from 0 to 100% simultaneously. However the displays will be equal when the input signal range is decreased to a 0 to 20% brightness level.

In order to achieve optimum contrast ratio results, displays are typically measured in completely dark rooms. It will be nearly impossible to achieve these same results during normal viewing conditions. The reduction in contrast ratio will depend on the display luminance and the reflective light in the room.

to be honest, i have no idea how did the $20 Sears card saving appeared in my cart! coz as i mentioned earlier, i was only using my regular credit card. Sorry, i can't help you on that!

Deal over now...price back to $480....and you
probably won't see it again during the holiday
shopping.

I'm very pleased with this tv and for $370
well worth it.

nevermind, saw response above....that stinks!
