How's your TV shopping going? Sounds like you have a good amount of time to watch prices before you head down south. I don't want to pull the trigger to early on the TV, but I'm already noticing price drops on rear projection and plasmas in the Sunday circulars (not that I'm committed to the BBs and CCs of the world). I'm sure there will be some additional Labor Day savings. However, I would probably save more if I wait for Thanksgiving. But do I have that kind of patience -- I will have been in the house close to a month with my current TV!

The ReallyBigScreen TV "shopping" is currently limited to reading ads, and cruising the net...but, prices and, more competition in the high 60 -70 inch size means prices are eroding by the week. You have a good memory,

, as we don't "need" the new screen until December, when we get to the FLA joint for the season.

Our sole cable co. there, is Comcast, which is Really pricey if one loads up on HDTV, std cable w/some premium stuff, internet, etc. WTF are these companies thinking?! Their ala'carte menu reads like having to pay top buck in buying a stripped car and then having to pay for power steering, the fooking steering wheel, etc.

My Daughter has Comcast in CH,NJ and her bill is about 60% of what the Collier County, FL Comcast Nazis want for same bundles of service she has.

NEway, time is on my side, and we may even slide the first month watching our bedroom(s) tubes until after the holiday buying frenzy when stores like BestBuy and C.City are trying to make their nut by the Jan blowout sales.
No biggie and no hurry, but the models that come and go like weekly, are very confusing to us non-techies, lol!
