HDTV's on Clearance, should I buy?

[weiv0004]

An electronics chain in my area is clearancing off their older HDTVs. Two in particular caught my eye.

Sony KDF50E2000 50" Grand WEGA rear projector LCD TV - on sale for ~1000.00

Sony KDF-42E2000 42" Grand WEGA rear projector LCD TV - on sale for ~900.00

Any reason I should not purchase one of these?

I've got ~$100 in credit due from sony, so these are more appealing than any of the other brands available.

They are 720P which isn't too bad, but you can get a non LCD projection (1080P) for less.

Thanks for the reply! So you're saying I can get a better TV for cheaper? Any suggestions on a make/model?

There's never "FOR" cheaper............ It's just.... "Cheaper" (drop the "For")
I know you kids like to abbreviate, but also add words that are'nt necessary?? Shame Shame !
I bought a tv for cheaper down the road!

You kids need to make up your mind.................. Are you going to abbreviate or add words to your sentences?

Um Cor, do you really want me to evaluate your examples?

If you want to get technical, cheaper is an adjective not an adverb; therefore, your sentence is also incorrect. In the sentence, "I bought a tv cheaper down the road!", cheaper is modifying the verb bought and not the noun tv. Adjectives cannot modify a verb. The sentence should read,"I bought a tv more cheaply down the road!".

I would actually say that the OP's sentence was more correct than yours, because the phrase "for cheaper" could be seen as a shortened version of "for a cheaper price". It's similar to saying, "I weigh more than she", as a shorter version of "I weigh more than she weighs."

And let's all throw the cow over the fence some hay

As for the tv's in question, I know someone with the Sony KDF-42E2000 42" Grand WEGA and it's a decent set.

Personally I feel at that size one really needs to evaluate wheter they want size for size's sake or quality. I cant stant 720 at anything over 46-50 especially if you are viewing alot of hd content. At 40 inches and below 720P looks fine to me.

Shop around, I know the 1080P projection screens are still very pricey but I would hate to get home to a tv that I would hate in six months. I did that very same thing and ended up buying another one less than six months later and ended up spending alot more than I wanted.

LCD Projection sets look better than standard projection sets and dont have many of the issues that DLP sets have.

That said, you're still dealing with bulb replacement every 2 yrs.

My buddy has the 60" or 65" (its ridiculous) monster version of those sets. It's a nice TV. But he had to convert his 2 car garage into a finished man cave in order to view it from a comfortable distance.
