[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 391482, member: 4264"] Just a wee heads up about t.v. purchases on sales like your boyfriend's (our boxing day) and other mass price cut t.v.s I bought our current t.v. at walmart. It was one of those limited sales (only 4 per store) and I paid $749 for a Sanyo 50" LCD t.v. (which I love by the way!). They sell now for $1249 so the deal was far too good for me to pass up after months of watching a t.v. i hated when my rear projection big screen gave up the ghost. e I learned after purchasing, how these deep discounts occur. They are almost always a different model number than standard ones for that brand. What happens is the companies manufacturer a small amount of t.v.'s in a model number specifically to shop for these sales as a promotional thing, get people talking etc. These models have less features than the standard models (even the big companies like Sony do this). Just wanted to let you know that in case it bothers you. It didnt bother me at all. I know this model I have does not carry the built in sound thing, where commercials etc don't suddenly go too loud etc, it balances the volume type thing. Im sure there are more features "missing" but I am loving my t.v. and we pushed our limits to get the $ for that sale price, so paying normal cost wouldn't have happened for us. We are quite happy with our model of t.v. But I'm sure some who are into all the latest features etc might be upset upon getting home and not always getting what you thought you were. [/QUOTE]
