So, I've been working on some spec to try to find a good deal on a TV. I have a few requirements, though...
- The TV must be 1080p (and actually display at 1920x1080 or 1920x1200)
- At least 42 inches, though bigger is better.
- As cheap as possible, but no sceptre brand unless they've gotten better since I bought my monitor.
Size, weight, type of TV, all not concerns. I have no preference on the technology. A 1080p projector, rear projection TV, LCD or Plasma TV would all work just as well for me.
My question is, where can I go to compare deals and browse TVs? I've tried best buy's website, walmart's website, newegg, circuit city, ABC Warehouse and others. Is there a de facto website to go to? Does anyone know of any phenomenally good deals? I'm not above used TVs (that work) from craigslist, etc or reliable refurbs/open box.
Answer
Phenomenally good deals = stolen goods. Don't go there.
Best Buy has good deals on their sale items. And they will price match major competitors. So they are a reasonable place to go. You could also check out J&R.
To meet your size, resolution, and price demands, you need to go Plasma. You're not going to find a decent LCD with those desired parameters. But you can find a really great Plasma 42" right at your budget limit.
The Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-P42S1 42-Inch 1080p Plasma is listed at $790 on Amazon right now. I think that's about as good a price as you'll get on that. And that is a top flight HDTV through and through. You get all the Plasma advantages (perfect fast motion playback, vivid colors, true blacks, and deep contrast), you get Panasonic reliability (the top dog in Plasma right now), and a good price (to get a comparable quality LCD, you'd need an LED LCD with 120Hz refresh rate at least, which would be well north of $800).
Honestly I think that's the single best TV you can get for your specs. Other sets would require a compromise in quality in some sense or the other, OR, would require you up your budget.

Im looking for a tv under $800
Answer
your in luck. there are plenty of TVs out there under 800 dollars! As long as it 720p to 1080i/p Hi-Def, are all equally as good as the most expensive TVs. But be warned! do not get a plasma TV! they may be cheap but have a low lifespan and burn out easily and expensive to replace parts! LCD's are a perfect standard and affordable! LED TV are a bit more expensive and thiner but offer more colors and near the 800$ mark while LCDs are around 200$ to 600$ depending on brand and size. Also there isn't much difference between 780p and 1080i/p so don't let that turn you down or a major deciding factor! Also look into "Hertz aka Hz" in your tv which I think is refresh rate which makes your games "look" smoother which is nice but very little difference but still noticeable
