Its a great price, but these TVs have crappy picture. Even HD TVs of this size is not as good as a good Sony Wega. I've bought the best tvs in all size and brands so I know what I'm talking about.

It's better to save the money for a good Sony WEGA 36" than getting a comparably priced projection tv. Anything else is all marketing hype.

The deal is dead!

Don't believe me? Read this:


Dear Best Buy Customer,

We regret to inform you that your recent order for the 43" Toshiba
television has been canceled. As this item was discontinued and offered at a
clearance price, it sold out very quickly, thus we no longer have any
quantities available. Unfortunately, we will not receive additional stock of
this discontinued item.

In addition, due to a systems error, you may have received an e-mail on
re-scheduling delivery of this TV. Please disregard as this was generated
assuming there was stock available.

Thank you for you understanding. Please do not hesitate to contact us again
with additional questions or concerns.

Best wishes from Best Buy,
Ryan and The Customer Care Team

Its people that have no idea what they are talking about that give projection sets a bad name. This set "might" be garbage, but there are plenty of great HD projection sets out there. You really think your Wega looks better than my Elite when watching DVD or a digital or HD OTA feed? You must be kidding.

I bet they increased the price to $1500 so that noone else would order it. If it were a real Best Buy price, it would be $1499.99. Obviously they want the insanity to stop as well. Now if someone at Best Buy had only thought of that yesterday when they knew they were not going to get any more, then we wouldn't have all of these hysterical people wnating their $525 TV.

I think people take crap in here too serious. It's just a damn thread. Geesh, get a life, a job, or something. Maybe you can become a rent-a-cop in your local mall. That may solve some of your issues.

Bah, the only way I could get the order to go through was to order some cd I didn't want. I just called and Ian said "I can cancel the tv, but not the Music from Crossroads. Serves me right for gettin greedy I guess.

My order status still shows this TV on order. They charged my credit card the charge including the TV. I have received no emails from Best Buy regarding this order (not even a confirmation of the order). What are my chances of getting one?

progressive scan dvd ok, normal dvd player wega wins, and considering 90% of the time you can't get a digital signal on cable, your tv is actually only better 10% of the time, because if you think an hdtv looks better than a wega or any flat tube tv with analog cable you really should get your eyes checked
