I want this TV. Missed the FS boxing day price of $1,499 on the older model 37" Aquos. I'm headed to FS to PM this evening.

I don't have my PC hooked up, I use the VGA in for my 360 so I can upscale DVDs to 720p.
Here are some shots, 360, Wii, and Cable.
360 at 1360x768
Wii at 480i
DVD upscaling from 360 to 1360x768
Digital Cable from QAM tuner_______________

Aquos are nice but for that kind of money Id rather get a Bravia or Samsung - besides I want to go bit bigger to the 40-42 range. Originally Posted by Netcruzer

MrKAT.
I have owned BOTH. Sony and Aquos.
the Aquos is awsome.
option/menu and scrolling thru options are SLOW..
BUT: comparing pic quality.
the only better is XBR 2 and up..
so yes, I would compare a Aquos as having deeper blacks and better
contrast (noticably) than a bravia from personal experience...
This is a STEAL Deal, and when it is gone, people will be kicking themselves.! Reply With Quote

And i hope hes not going to force me to buy their warranty if I want it at this price. Its bit out of my budget but I dont think any other places will be able to offer me a lower price. Im checking out video and sound in the morning to see what the owner says, if not then Ill most likely head to visions friday afternoon.

Why do I have a feeling you won't and you'll keep giving us the play by play for years to come of your LCD hunt.

Take my word. Get to the store, get your price, get your TV. Once at checkout refuse to get the warranty and threaten to leave the store without it. you will be hassled for 20 minutes, the manager will even show up but if you stick to your balls, trust me, you WILL be out with your TV. But don't try to work anything until you reach cash checkout as they will try to frustrate you by running away. We all know, the money is in the warranty only. Only last thing I can suggest is, if you are ok to afford $100 for warranty, bargain to that point and Yes they will do it.

God awful day, what a waste of time. After today I will never lay foot in any future shop again for big ticket item. What a complete joke the morons working there, seriously. This ******* is lucky because if I wanted to make a big stink about it, I could get his ass fired, but meh theyre not even worth my time or effort in doing that. Why do I even bother walking into future crap stores? nothing but bad news everytime. I dont even know how this chain is even in business.
Whatever, I dont care anymore. It just makes me realize just how good costco is to shop at.
Btw this deal is dead, Future **** lowered all their prices to the bricks.Last edited by MrKat; Mar 8th, 2007 at 04:48 PM.
