I know a lot of people don't want to think about it but how much did you pay for your first HDTV? Every time I think about what I paid for my 50" Panasonic Plasma I :cry:

Want to know how much I gave for it? Don't ask. Lets just say a new one now costs less than they wanted for the extended warranty for one back then. Glad I didn't get the extended warranty.

What did you give for your first HDTV? I bet no one wants to say.

1. I bet there is ONE for the entire country at that price

n/t

[quinnox]

2. don't have one

I'm satisfied with a little 13" color tv in my bedroom to be honest.

[Maine-ah]

3. that looks like one of those sites where you have to give up

a ton of personal info and fill out surveys and credit card apps to get the "deal"

[Earth_First]

8. Exactly...

Something doesn't feel right about this...

$599 Canon cameras for $19?!

[Maine-ah]

15. yep, total scam

[Fumesucker]

4. I'll let you know when I get it...

Probably about fifty bucks on Craigslist, I see them for that price from time to time..

[formercia]

12. You're lucky you don't get an Oven Door with the Remote

Plasma, eh? I bet the electric bill was a sight.

[Ship of Fools]

5. Ugghh! Well, that's probably why I'm so pathetically behind the times.

I wait until everyone is on to the next best thing before I move on to their last best thing.
Learned that lesson from my dad, who bought the digital wristwatch when it first came out for
something like $200. Hell, I didn't get a cellphone until about 2 years ago ... Nope, not me.
Won't pay full price for the newest fad ... excuse me ... Honey! Where'd you park the Studebaker?? :)

[Initech]

6. Overstock, that's all I needed to know.

[we can do it]

7. Don't Want One Wouldn't Take It For Free - Thankful To Be TV-Free

[Downwinder]

9. Think I'll wait until I can pick one up in the alley. Cost should

be less than 100 paces. Can't carry one more than that.

[whistler162]

10. Much better than the grey Thursday 42" LCD TV

I bought for $300.

[msongs]

11. who will be trampled to death in the stampede to be the only buyer allowed? nt

[Incitatus]

25. Good point. The owners don't give a shit as long as a herd of customers comes into the store. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. I have yet to buy one

My tv is easily 15 years old. It works, no need for new tv.

[sarcasmo]

16. The shareholders, think of the shareholders.

[bluestateguy]

14. That's the thing about getting the new technology

If you want it when it is brand new, cutting edge and better than anything else out there, you will pay much more for it. If you are willing to wait a year or two, you can get the same thing for much cheaper as prices come down and supply goes up.

[Webster Green]

17. Fifty-two foot screen? That's a hell of a deal.

These "Black Friday" prices are probably about the same as what you can find online, if you know where to look. Either that or the supply is severely limited, and it's a promotion. Often, the sale price today is what the regular price will be in the near future.

[Raine]

18. I don't have one. I'm still using my 19inch hooked up to cable

it's too heavy to move but it's works fine. One day I'll get one but I'm not in a big hurry.

[WinkyDink]

19. About $300: 24" with built-in DVD player. Too bad TNT isn't in HD.

[MilesColtrane]

20. I'm still rocking LDTV and rabbit ears.

[Digit]

21. Still using my regular TV I purchased in '98

Necessities come first in this economy.

[notadmblnd]

22. dont have one

[SomethingFishy]

23. DONT BUY A BRAVIA!

I paid... are you ready... $1600 for my 42" Bravia 3 years ago. After a year and a half pixels started to fail. I now have a line of dead pixels right through the middle of the TV. Big line maybe 8 pixels high and across half the screen...

I talked to Sony, they told me it would be cheaper to buy a new TV then to fix this piece of shit. So if I can ever afford it I'll be buying anything but a Sony to replace it.

[Demonaut]

37. paste a note on thier facebook page and research sony if they had a recall or

acknowledge a problem with that specific model.

and in the future buy warranties on items that are expensive but the repairs are even more expensive, you can buy warranties from third parties
within a certain time frame,

Sony's are some of the best built sets but like anything they still have a small failure rate..even after the warranty expires
every pixel is a TFT, 720p sets are a million pixels and 1080p sets are 2 million...that many moving parts

[Skittles]

42. none of these TVs are going to last very long

24. My first one was about $100, an LED screen for the computer

that I got at online auction on a holiday weekend. Most of the electronic stuff I have was bought refurbished and at auction. It all works, although that first screen had one bad pixel. Big woop.

[GreenStormCloud]

26. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably isn't true.

I don't believe nomorerack.com. It smells like a scam. You can't access the site unless you create an account.

[abelenkpe]

27. My tv is almost twenty years old

Still haven't gotten an hd tv

[mucifer]

28. me too.

[JanMichael]

29. same here

I guess we'll find out how much they cost when ours breaks down. I hate it though; we don't even have cable.

[JVS]

30. It doesn't bug me at all. I've not purchased an HDTV

[bullwinkle428]

31. Still using a 12-year-old Sony 27" tube TV, so no comment on HDTV price.

[lbrtbell]

32. No HDTV's for us

The picture is too sharp and choppy, very unnatural, and causes severe eyestrain. Worse still, the flat screen makes them unviewable except in a narrow area.

We love our CRT's, and we have backups available for when these TV's give up the ghost. :)

[Skip Intro]

33. Not real. Nobody got a Sony 52" LED for 60 bucks. Not real.

The link only goes to some signup form. Not sure what it might have led to earlier, but I promise you, there were no $60 52" Sony Tvs.

Come on.

btw...I had to sell my HDTV for cash months ago, now have some late-model HD tube tv by Samsung. Great picture, but huge tv, weighs a ton.

[Demonaut]

34. seriously?! no one is getting a brand new 52" led sony for that price

they don't even make the 52" sets anymore...they stopped production early 2010 and switched to 55" panels
that set was used or refurbished...and your panasonic was built in Japan where the QC is top notch...still works right?

[KharmaTrain]

35. 2005...You Don't Wanna Know...

I bought my 42-inch Bravia for the 2005 World Series. It was either buying the set or tickets to see a World Series game at "The Cell". I chose the TV (about $2500 vs. the $4000 for the series ticket)...and the set is still here while the 2005 White Sox are now a fond memory. Last summer we bought a 42 inch set for my son for $400.

[elocs]

36. My first was a 32" crt hdtv for $1000. I now have a 50" Panny plasma which cost $800

a few years ago. I'm watching it now as I type this on a 32" Insignia hdtv that I use as a monitor and I love the size.

[SheilaT]

38. No TV here.

When I moved to where I currently am about three and a half years ago, I couldn't afford to buy a TV nor pay for cable or satellite service, so I did without, sort of as an experiment. I find I simply don't miss it, in part because I get to watch most of the shows I want to watch over the internet.

And when any important breaking news is happening, there's all sorts of live feeds on the internet, so I don't actually miss out on anything.

[MrSlayer]

39. Cost me $1000 and it "fell" off a truck.

Would have been $1400 in store. 52" Sharp top of the liner for the time.

[LeftyMom]

40. That's a scam.

Oh, and my 65" Toshiba set me back $499 a few years ago.

[Skittles]

41. no, it makes me laugh

at people who bought over-priced crap just because they HAD TO HAVE ONE!!! I do not fall for that shit. I wait until prices are reasonable before I buy ANYTHING. And I'd NEVER pay a lot for a flat-screen TV:
