$600 and what to spend it on....

[HouseDJSTL]

So total for Xmas I got $600, and I was either gonna put it towards a laptop computer or a flat panel TV. Can't really decide....So help me pick!!

 

[MayoBoy]

Flat panel - Samsung or Sony. Don't shop by size or price - go for quality. A good 32" kicks the balls out of a so-so 40"

I was lookin at the Samsungs.....anyone have an opinon on HP's TV's??

second the samsung and sony. add sharp to that list. use to work at a electronics store selling tvs. this doesn't make me an expert but their picture quality is very good. if you can, i would wait until after the super bowl. they always have deals due to returns.

For 600 you won't get much TV, sorry to day.

 

[JxMetal]

if you want a tv, go big or go home. 40"+ only.

So go for the laptop.

 

[Bebo77]

Tv all the way.. ladies love flat screen tv's

This one gets high reviews and the LCD Display is made by LG. (There are only a few makers of LCD screens) It is 599 but by the time you add extended warranty (the only thing I recommend an extended warranty is a HD TV) and taxes you'll be up close to 800 bucks.

Thats not a TV Jack, would make a nice monitor for my PC though.

You've got a box you can see tv on: if you're typing at a desk, you're killing your back sooner or later. I'd go for an easy chair and a laptop. You can get a decent one from Dell for around that price, but 600 won't get you a very big tv.

What do you want for 600 bucks? I did see them at the store and the picture quality is pretty good, but the reality is 600 bucks doesn't buy much tv anymore.

Dude ditch the electronic do-dads in lieu of 3 prostitutes and a massage go for the instant gratification. Its only money...

Seriously, are you gonna remember what size TV you had on your death bed? No one will care.

[JxMetal]

maybe he couldn't find any good reviews?

$600 is what I got for Xmas, I will go up to as high as $1200.

 

[sirreal63]

Time to go shopping then.

An HDTV is just the tip of the iceburg and you'll want a nicer one than $1200 will get you. After the TV comes the HD subcription bills (I know you work for Charter, maybe you can get a deal ), a good DVD player (upconverting or HighDef), and a Dolby Digital stereo system with good speakers and a sub-woofer.

Been there, done all that, and I still could spend thousands more for nicer equipment. I will say that a nice home theater ROCKS big time !!!!
