A quick search has that in the ballpark with some other retailers but none with a better return policy or reputation than Costco.

Great TV at a Great price.

Excellent price! Got the exact same TV for $400 more from PC Richard. Very good TV. You must get a surround sound! That's the TV's only weekness..... :thumbup:

I got this exact tv for $1299 during BF. Great price I think the MSRP is $2,499 or something. Very quick response time and THIN compared to other LCD's.

Nevermind I got the 46D64U model...

Exactly, I have the LC-46D64U as well. I got a slammin' deal on it at Circuit City of all places for $1699 + a FREE Sharp Blu-ray player. I also like it better, because it is ALL BLACK. I don't like silver anywhere near my TV to distract the eye :).

The problem is Barry's model is Costco specific, and it's hard to compare. It does have weaker specs than ours though.

we have the 72u series with 10000:1 ratio got it for 1399CDN .the 64u is also pretty good as its a slimmer design but i would suggest going for a 120Hz panel if you are getting one now as 60hz panels are losing value quickly

I saw the Free Blu Ray deal afterwards and I was going to do the return/rebuy thing but the price was a BF only price and they didn't run that promotion until later. I already have a PS3, but it would have been nice to get a free Blu Ray player.

for some reason that link from OP doesnt work for me. Can't see the sharp being referred too. But 1399 for a 46" is generally a good ball park figure. The 64U is probably a better buy though. someone mentioned the 60hz losing value quickly and thats true. I have my eye on a 52" aquos 84U or the SE94U.. and home ent system and PS3...

Definitely purchase the surround sound if you plan to use this as primary TV (family room / living room etc). Should be good enough for a bedroom with 20watt speakers but not for large spaces. Sharp seemed to have invested their technology into the picture and not the sound... the one drawback of these TVs

Thanks all...The sale ended Sunday.
I didn't buy but the info was very useful
