Panasonic PT-47WX53 HDTV monitor

[RossMAN]

Fry's has this for $999 today only.

I'm going to try and have Sears, BB or CC PM against Fry's B&M (will bring a Fry's flier with me).

Also going to see if there's any no interest finance offers currently available and will definitely buy an extended warranty.

Is this HDTV any good?

We have DirecTV, DirecTIVO and a Panasonic DVD Player.

Thanks!

It seems like the AVS forum guys like it.

Thanks for the info, I actually already checked their but the damn HT lingo is like jibberish to me.

The CC customer reviews seem to be positive.

I wonder how much a 3 or 5 year extended warranty is.

Damn, nice deal, especially if you can get it at 0%. Wish I had cash right now.

Yeah, they do like the jargon there - if they can't think of anything to say, they just blurt out an acronym or two

This could be bad:

One warning about this set is that it does not take any 720p inputs.

Also I think BB has (had or will) have 10% off.

$#@! I just realized something.

Does this mean I can hookup my computer to the HDTV monitor (assuming I have a video card with DVI)?

HDCP Interface DVI-HDCP
DVI-HDCP Interface Yes
HDMI-HDCP Interface No

Whoa.

If I can get this for a good deal I might go for it but I gotta find a DVI video card and prog scan DVD Player.

Rossman doesn't have a video card with DVI? Have you moved into the year 2000 yet?

Nope I'm still stuck in 1999 using a GF2 MX with my Dell 1900FP.

Yes analog

Nope can't really justify the cost.

If I were to go dual I'd use the 2000FP.

Argh... why do they have to have this deal again? I was sooooo tempted the last time they had it (couple of months ago) and now they have to tempt me again.
<tries to talk self out of deal>Damnit, my old 36" TV is good enough! I don't need a 47" widescreen HDTV with a DVI interface for my HTPC system!</fails>

talk me out of this ATOT....

I'm hoping (for my sake) that Sears, BB and CC shoot me down otherwise I just may get it.

Total should be around $999 + $299 (3 year warranty) - 10% discount = $1168.20

Not sure if I am going to purchase it using my CitiBank VISA or get 12 months financing.

where's the 10% discount from?

btw, have you seen the 17" planar deal in HD? little surprised you're not jumping on that one. (if you haven't already)

10% from pricematching

10% off is from either:

• Pricematching
• BB 10% off coupon
• Sears 10% off financing (would have wife apply for a Sears card since I already have one)

ah, and RE to the latter part of my post?

Damn it you're not helping my HDD (Hot Deals Diet) !!!

Yep I saw the Planar 17" LCD deal, quite hot but I already have a Dell 1900FP which I hope to keep until the warranty expires in November 2005.

No thanks, I'm sticking to iPods and digicams. Easy profit and they're small.

My house looked like a freakin' Dell warehouse.

Ross, which Frys ad is this in? Friday's? I don't see it in Saturday's.

And why did you turn your PM's off, O Mighty Nagus?

 

[RossMAN]

Because I have 700+ PM's.

Bad news, I checked today's The Oregonian back the Sports section has a Fry's ad but this TV is not listed.

I called Fry's and they show the TV as $1499 here locally.

Oh well I just saved you $1000, you owe me!!!
