If deals like this keep coming, Black Friday is going to look darn near unimpressive.
For the rest of this week, Best Buy has the Panasonic TC-P42C1 42” 720p Plasma display for a silly-low $498.99. While only a 720p display, it boasts 30,000:1 native (real) contrast ratio, 600Hz refresh rate, two HDMI inputs, and side SD card input.
If you’ve been looking at a smaller set for a bedroom, living room, kids room, bathroom, guest room, garage, or storage closet, why not step on up to a 42” display for about the same price?
BONUS deal: Need some compelling source material to test out your new display? Looking for something as dirt-cheap as the TV you just bought? Best Buy currently has Firefly: The Complete Series on DVD for only $12.99.
This is one of my all-time favorites and well worth the price. I somehow can’t imagine the words “space” and “western” merging well, but somehow Firefly just works with no cheese factor whatsoever. While this is one title I’ll eventually replace with the Blu-ray version, at $69.99 it just doesn’t seem worth it when the DVD box set is so affordable.
Rocky,
Maybe I can suggest some glasses for you. Blu Ray will always look and sound better than your DVD’s. The better the source the better the end result period!
Might I also suggest waiting to buy anything for the next 30 years because something better is always going to be coming out soon!
Mr. Smutz
Stephen, why all the hype about replacing your dvd’s with Blu-Ray, its very difficult to tell DVD from Blu-Ray when
viewed on a good upscaler, and upscaling is getting better and better, with the latest talk about Ultra Hi Defintion
(which is some four times better than Blu-Ray in resolution)
becoming available within the next 5 years or so, it does
not make economic sense to replace your DVD library
for a minimum gain in definition, at this point in time,
save your money and plan for UHDI TV,
