Add to cart for the extra 10% off on clearance. Why a new model would be on clearance is beyond me. Might be 10% less than that with an additional Sears card rebate.

With a Sears card and Fat cash, I calculate about $1083 plus tax on the 1259, which would be about $100 here in Atlanta.
Beats the Frys.com deal a few weeks back that was 1100 for the -350 model, which I assume is an older, or lower model.
Good deal. Toshiba doesn't seem to raise too much excitement here at FW. I don't either, but I sometimes end up buying Toshiba stuff because their prices are more reasonable than Sony, Sharp, Samsung. Pretty satisfied with my 4 year old Toshiba laptop and my over 4 year old Toshiba/TiVo which recently died. Probably just a power supply, but since I have 3 other TiVo units, I don't think I'll bother to fix it(since I only paid about $50ar for it).

That was
1) online, not something you can pickup tomorrow and return to a B&M (or at least not for the 70% of the country without a nearby Fry's 2) last year's model 3) basically clearance and out of stock pretty quick 4) inferior in terms of contrast and picture quality from what I've seen in store 5) roughly the same price after rebate when you add in shipping versus the instore Sears tax
Or are you saying basically that if it's a 46" it can no longer be a good deal unless you think it is ? What price would this Tv have to be before you thought it was a hot deal? This ain't an Olevia or a Vizio.

Man... don't take it so personal, really! Are you just looking for good remarks to validate your purchasing of this tv?
I think its an excellent deal. Im not a big westinghouse/olevia fan. To me Toshiba is a brand name plus avs forums gives them high reviews. Nice deal op!

Nice finding OP. Be aware that Toshiba has this Regza brand and non-regza difference. Rumor says that Toshiba doesn't make non-Regza brand by themselves. This 46RV530U is on the Regza line, thankfully. Unfortunately I don't need a TV this big. Damn I missed that Fry's Samsung LN32A450 deal.

Question on this - it says its 1080p, but then for inputs it says "Input Compatible: 1080i". I'm just starting researching these TVs, think I want to go with LCD, this one looks really good, just curious on this.

according to spec in Sears.com it is 1080p input Upgrade your viewing experience to 1080p True HD with the 46RV530U, 46 in. diagonal featuring DynaLight dynamic backlight control, offering significant improvement in black levels for deep images.

sweet LCD, I just picked this up at Sears and so far so good. Not much adjustment needed in picture quality from the start. I hope this TV last me many many years.
I paid 1260 plus tax so it came out to about 1360 out the door. Not bad for 46" , 1080p and the Toshiba brand name. Beats getting a olevia, vizio, aoc, westinghouse cheapos at same price.

I have the 42" version of this TV that I picked up at CompUSA re-grand opening for $899. The TV is awesome.
I just got this TV delivered from Costco on Friday. Reading on AVSForum, people don't have many issues with this TV, which is rare for LCDs. I used the settings posted by Gris and think the picture is GREAT. No complaints about my purchase.
Bump for a decent price on a good tv.

It was more money at costco: toshiba but I was able to use a cashcard from a visio I bought in 1/2007 that I returned. It's the same model you're looking at here.
