Sears is currently selling PANASONIC TH-50PX75U 50" HDTV Plasma for $1,699.99+Tax.
Yesterday I did a price match for with PANASONIC TH-42PX75U 42" HDTV Plasma Frys.com [They are selling it for 1,099+Shiping] and took a printout of the frys.com shopping cart [don't add the shipping charge] and went to local Sears store [Costa Mesa, CA] and bought the TV for $1,089+Tax.
YOU CAN TRY THE SAME PROCEDURE FOR PANASONIC TH-50PX75U 50" HDTV PlasmA.
Price Match with 10% on the difference would bring the TH-50PX75U TV cost from $1,699.99 to $1,489+Tax and dont forget the Fatwallet 5% Cash Back $85.50
So the final price would be $1413.5+Tax.
Dont try to do a price match at CC or BB, they dont accept FRYS.com [Online store price match, they will price match only with local fry's store advt]. Sears sales folks are flexible, if you're nice with them.
Login into Fatwallet and go to this link. http://www.fatwallet.com/cash-back-coupons/Sears
Click on "5.0% Cash Back Rebate Available" link which will take you to Sears website. order it online and go to the local store with frys.com shopping cart printout and your receipt. Do the price match..and take your TV
If it a reasonable price difference, they wil accept it. If you try to play around with HTML and do price match for diffference of $400 then they will call the local fry's store and make the process more complex.................
I just wonder if you could mark it down to something like $1399 and then go from there.
Also, what is the Sears protection plans like? If I'd be getting something like this, I'd definitely want a good plan to protect my TV. And supposedly Sears has always been known for great care -- my girlfriend's parents bought a dishwasher that malfunctioned after like 4 months and they sent like 4 repair guys (free) and then eventually just allowed them to swap it out with another dishwasher without cost of a different brand for the same price.
You can do HTML editing and take a printout, but i wont advice you do that. It is too risky...
I bought the protection plan for $400, for 3 years. But you can always cancel the plan within 11 months so that you can get the $400 money back from Sears.
I'll cancel the plan on the 10th month and get the money back, or if something happens to teh TV within the 10 months. I'm covered. So i'm not losing anything....
THIS IS MY FIRST POST ON FATWALLET...PLEASE ENCOURAGE. THANKS
Just wanted to let you guys know that Frys in San Diego now has the 50PX75U for $1499 IN STORE. It was in the San Diego Union Tribune circular. That opens up every B&M with price matching. Use your American Express and get 2 years warranty. If you want an extended warranty, which might be a good idea on a big ticket item, check out tapeworkstexas for a 4 year MACK warranty for about $130.
NOTE: The prices on these sets are dropping fast. I am sitting on the fence right now and might just wait until the MSRP drops and the discounters follow with even lower prices. Panasonic just announced their 11th generation Plasmas in Japan, so they should be here in the beginning of next year. That means every current model is going to be blown out for Christmas. The 1080p models look very nice, and are more future proof/compatable with PC's. Not that these 75u's don't look good... they are amazing.

omair2k2 said:on panasonics site (linked above) it says it is 1080p but states native resolution is 1366 x 768?
The TH-xxPX75U's are 720p (768) native resolution. They will accept 1080p/i, and then deinterlace it and then scale it for the 768 panel. The TH-xxPZ700U's are the 1080p panels.
These have 10,000:1 contrast ratios. The 700U's have 5,000:1 contrast. Some argue that contrast ratio is much more important than the resolution, especially when you are sitting over 8 feet away from a 50" screen.
I feel like a dunce but I can't find the FW cash. I ordered the Panasonic 50" but now where does the 5% Cash Back show. What am I doing wrong. I have already ordered it.
