Missed a couple on Black Friday. I have read many places that the best time to buy a tv is the week prior to the superbowl. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. I am looking for a 42" and above could be Plasma, LCD, or Rear projection LCD. Thank you for your help.
Need a big but cheap tv, when to buy?

FW receipt, showing discounts
What most people are doing is buying a TV just over $999, getting $600 off the TV price by buying accessories, then returning/cancelling the accessories and install. This results in a $1000 TV costing $399.
Hot Deals January 6th to January 12th 2008 Edition
32" Sony 720P LCD $499
42" Philips 1080P LCD with Ambilight $799
ULTIMATE BF FATWALLET CHALLENGE:
Use the 10% off coupon on the 65" to take the price to $1350, use bonus $15 in rewardzone money, use HD Advantage deal, call it a gift (allows returns thru Jan 31st), and get the 65" 1080p TV for a mere $720.
It probably won't work for anyone, but maybe, if you've got an honest face and a spirit made of solid grit, you can get this deal.

Costco has a 90 day no questions asked return policy..............on all Tv's. They do from time to time have floor models that are cheap.
yea, I know... a lot of info to take in.
it breaks down to paying $500 for a 1500 tv after you return all the other stuff.
there's an error in their price coding on tv discounts...when you return items, it is letting you keep the dicount off teh tv.

if you are wanting a good TV, stay away from rear projection. My boss bought a 52" and it is a POS.
I have also heard other horror stories.
Plus, Plasma and LCD look better.
my 2 cents
