    I was thinking about getting one of these a few months ago when they cost $400+ on sale. Good price! Shame since the DTV switch though I can't get analog or digital signals anymore. I guess I won't do me any good now. :(

    I know, this would make an excellent 2nd second monitor ~ or whatnot! :D

    I checked amazon..and they don't even come close to buy.com's pricing on this! I'm so tempted but withholding.... :(

    What a pity. I was just about to order one. There are some refurbished ones selling on ebay for about the same price, but i've heard that refurb models don't come with a remote.

    Yup, I also got THIS 2 days ago....
    Got it when it was still $1299 and now it's $1150. I wonder if Best Buy will refund the difference since it's only 2 days old :eek:

    I'm checking dell.com first to see if they have it. If they do, my EPP Rep will price match, along with my additional EPP applicable discounts :D
    *fingers crossed*

    Good stuff :)

    I received mine yesterday and it's working like a charm. Crisp, clean, non-grainy images, awesome contrast and it's also the perfect accessory to any computer. As with any HDTV nowadays, it has superb viewing angles in all direction, but if that's not enough, the stand can swivel 360 degrees and be tilted vertically to your liking.

    There is one minor glitch though.... when plugging in the 3.5mm audio jack to the audio-in, the TV will make an annoying buzzing/whining sound. It's most likely a hardware issue, but it shouldn't bother most people since most would not bother use it.
