I'm planning on buying a new TV around the holidays, and I figure that Boxing day is my best bet. Only problem is that since I don't get either paper delivered, I don't know how to find the adverts for the various electronic retailers.
Also, any hints on good places to try, aside from the regular BestBuy, Future Shop, A&B.
Be patient, these boxing day sales tend to stick around until the end of January anyways, you have plenty of time to find the one you like. Good luck with the hunt!
BTW...I found A&B sound and soundsaround have the better quality products to the modest budget, although, they do tend to have more of the annoying salesmen looking for their next commish.
The good news (for me) is that I'm going to be going in knowing exactly what model I want, and I can be even more annoying than those salesmen when I want to be.
If I can get the 42px600U for the price I want, I'll take that one, but I'm guessing the discounts won't be quite as deep since that's a higher-end TV.
Either way it'll be a heck of a lot better than the 27" curved screen CRT that I use right now.
Any of you guys get HDTV from Shaw? From what I can tell on the web page, you can't really bundle HDTV with the internet, which is what I would want to do.
"list" price of $2499 and $599. I got the combo for $2199 plus tax.
I feel pretty good about it, and I LOVE the TV. I don't yet have HDTV from our local Cable provider (Shaw) so I can't speak to that, but regular old TV looks pretty nice, and DVDs look fantastic. I may wait until it's time for Hockey playoffs to upgrade to the HD signal. One of the reasons I went with this TV is how well it handles SD content. Much better than some cheaper units.
I actually bought all of this on Christmas Eve once I had a chance to read the Boxing Day flyers. I'm very glad I didn't have to brave the crowds.
Why not consider switching to Star Choice (Shaw Satellite) and get all the same channels and more.... with 16-20 HDTV channels with options for PPV Hockey games for Flames,Canucks,Oiler,Senators ($10.00 each).
They just added a few more a couple days ago.
I get tons of sports from all over the place with Western Canadian Junior hockey Broncos,Hitmen,Rebels,Ice,etc
for USA networks:
I chose Seattle over Spokane because I got tired of Krem, Kxly,etc
I chose Detroit over Buffalo...for obvious reasons.
I have the Essentials package.
I dropped the shaw cable but kept the internet and save $8.00 from the tier-3 shaw cable/shaw internet package.
Right now they have an enormous deal for the satellite decoder.
