I just got an email:

https://blackfriday.bestbuy.com/door+busters/product/4758734/toshiba++40quot+class++lcd++1080p++60hz++hdtv

About this, from bestBuy. I know they're not "known" for their TV's...

But I sit about 5 feet back from my bed or so...I was told 37'' or above from this viewing distance was ideal. (Originally I was going to settle on 32'')

Can't really think of anything in that price range with such good specs. Any thoughts on a 40'' or around 40'' that's perhaps under 300$? That's worth it? I mean...

Right now I have an old 27'' TruFlat, which 20% of the screen is kinda a black, warped line thing...broken audio that is sometimes to low or to loud...and well yeah, normal definition.

Thanks.

The Toshiba is fine, but it is worth saying that what you are looking at is not a 'sale' price, it is a doorbuster. Which means that they have about 2-7 available in each store - probably 5-7, and if you aren't one of the first ones in line on Black Friday, you aren't going to get it. I got a 42" Sharp last year for about $200 from them, and it works fine. Not exceptional, but not horrible either, and it is still working fine.

With 45 reviews, it seems to be well enough received, but you aren't likely to get it for that price due to demand - unless you plan to camp out at your local BB on turkey eve.

I remember this thread from last year. I think we determined that based on the model number that it was proprietary to best buy. In other words made especially for bb black friday.

I say try your luck. Like bmxtrix saix there will most likley be less then ten at the store. Good luck!
