Newegg alos have the Samsung 710MP for the same price no rebate 710MP still trying to decide which one I should get.

Update:
I ordered one from Costco.com for $339 AR the LCD TV will arrive on Monday. I know there is not much reivew out there for this TV (I can't find one) hopefully I can write one and post here or somewhere else. If the TV is good I think I might return it at Costco and order one from JnR.

The $200 rebate is valid at a dozens of stores only, J&R is one of them. Others are Fry's, Outpost.com, Nexcom, AmericanTV, Office Depot, Fiftyfith, Datavision and BestBuy. Outpost, AmericanTV are more and don't have a picematching policy. The same TV is also $289 at Buy.com and Newegg. I called J&R twice (since they do pricematch), but said that they couldn't even touch this price from the other stores. :-(
At $429 w/ free shipping and $200 rebate, this would be a steal for a final price of $229. Now Office Depot doesn't carry it but Tech Depot (technology arm of Office Depot) sells it for $450, add shipping and tax and the unit comes to $500. But the rebate center couldn't tell me if they would honor the $200 rebate through Tech Depot, even though they are an Office Depot store. Anyone else want to try this? Phone number for rebate center is 1-800-741-1365
I just noticed that they dropped their price to $509.... Guess that my phone calls payed off...a little. If it was free shipping, then I would jump on it.

I bought this TV from costco.com for $369 after $30 rebate. Coscto.com sell it for $399 and the rebate is only $30 the l like it better at costco because the rebate is smaller. I can always return it if I don't like it I don't have to ship it back I can just return it in at costco store.
