I posted this on some other blog you made this one is more appropriate…

Hey for Black Friday what do you think are the best deals in TV’s?

I am looking at the 32? Samsung at Best buy for 499 or the 32? Toshiba at Curcuit City for 449.

Still can’t decide on which am probably gonna get the Toshiba. What do you think. I am a young student 500 is my price range…
What do you think?

Actually the brand does matter to me. I am actually just looking at those two as they seem to be the best deal, not the lowest price but they are good deals for good brands.

So you said the Samsung outshines the Toshiba is the extra $50 for the Samsung worth it over the Toshiba…

When i was at the store at best buy both screens where next to each other, the Toshiba looked nicer then all the other Low Brand ones like Vizio, Dynex, etc. The Samsung looked much bigger although it was still a 32″ and it had a much nicer picture.

I am still undecided.

The Toshiba is actually a 31-1/2″ (but is still in the 32″ class) compared to the Samsung which is a actual 32″. (Toshiba weights in at 31, Samsung in 34 roughly)

Going down to just pure specs, the Samsung has a higher brightness range (better color/contrast/and more effective in brighter days, than the Toshiba). The Samsung also seems to have better sound quality, with the simulated surround sound. (The Toshiba doesn’t specify it’s audio details, so by default it doesn’t have the feature.)

Overall the Samsung is the better system, but if the price is a little to much to bare with, then the Toshiba isn’t a bad choice either. (It’s really personal preference when it comes to price-performance ratio.)

Where are you getting the Specs? i have only found specs for the Toshiba but not for the Samsung

I also cannot find reviews for that model of Samsung, people say lots of nice things about the Toshiba and it is making me want it more because of all the positive reviews. Is there any reviews or customer reviews you can direct me to?

I am having a hard time locating The samsung specs and reviews…

The reviews for the Toshiba might be the deal breaker, unless i can find specs and reviews about the samsung ln32a300

Also, Thank you for helping me decide.

It was, thanks now the problem is the bad reviews for toshiba talk about TV not loading up fast enough, the PC connection not being so great and some others i may be forgetting.

The Samsung people talk about in bad reviews about not being able to hear good sound when connected directly to cable and not using a box, that the sounds gets distorted….

I don’t know which to choose yet.

Do you know which model is more newer as in which one was made more recently or did they come out at the same time?

If you where in my shoes which would you choose? Taking into account, Value, Price, Specs, Reviews?

9 Pervy { 11.25.08 at 10:51 pm }

Since I don’t own either so, I can’t say if the reviews are liable or not. Also it seems the date for both systems are also not specified. (but judging from the SKU/reviews, the Samsung seems to have came first)

Personally if its a pretty tough choice for me to. The Samsung seems to be technically better, but Toshiba as a company itself have come out with more quality products. Learning from history, I’d go with the Toshiba.

Wise man, that last paragraph helped a lot. I will tell you my decision as you helped me a lot, i love talking and brainstorming from people and getting their opinions. Thanks. You will be the first to know.

Also you may want to make a blog about HDTV’s many people this year will be getting them and you may help them like you helped me.

Thanks.

Hey Pervy after doing a lot of homework the Toshiba is looking to be the best choice still. I did find a nice deal also if you wouldn’t mind and i hope i am not bugging you i need your opinion again.

Toshiba 32″32AV500U $449 Vs. Sony Bravia KDL-32L4000 ($523 using sears price match plus 10%)

In your opinion again, what is the best choice in terms of Value, Price, Most Features, Warranty, Pros, Cons.

I am thinking of going to my first black Friday at Circiut city and trying to get the Toshiba. As my second choice i think i may get that one.

Also am waiting to see if Fry’s Saves Black Friday with good deals on TV’s.

Your opinion is important to me. Thanks

EDIT: I am thinking of going to my first black Friday at Circiut city and trying to get the Toshiba. As my second choice i think i may get that one.

(What i meant to say is that Toshiba first choice if able to get at black Friday, Sony as second choice if i am unable to get the black Friday deal)

Nice bro! You should take pictures of the whole thing and post it up. I will definitely try to do that, so expect some cool documentary over the black friday event.

15 C { 11.26.08 at 9:33 pm }

Still waiting on Pervy to give me his opinion on those 2 Tv’s i mentioned.

16 loyalkng { 11.26.08 at 9:36 pm }

Pervy is out at the moment but I will inform him about your comment. So check back to see if he responds to you. It will be maybe 3 hours till then.

17 Pervy { 11.26.08 at 11:39 pm }

Hmm, they both seem very similar in almost every aspect (the more major areas). Same response time/fps/contrast ratio/and audio.

Though the Toshiba is 32″ while the Sony is actually 31 1/2″ the 32″ class. Also the Sony seems to have more optional inputs/outputs like Headphone output, and Analog Audio Input (Most deal with audio). Personally I’m more of a Sony person when it comes to devices. But if you manage to be able to get the Toshiba during Black Friday, then by all means its better in price-performance ratio. Though if you don’t then the Sony at that point will have a better ratio. (comparing the regular pricing of the Toshiba, $629.99, to the Sony, $585.99)

By the way, I used a this source for the Sony (product KDL-32L400): http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665370677

(price-performance ratio) Just the word i been trying to get out to you. Dude, did you see the Sony took a nose dive it is now $499 so if i don’t get the Toshiba the Sony is in second place, i really don’t like the Samsung for some reason.

I might also do this, go to sears and make them price match a dollar difference and try and get their 10% off + price match.

499.99 at sears 498.99 at WalMart so i want to see if sears will give me the 498 price match and take 10% off. I hope they don’t laugh at me for 1$ but at the end i can come out with a Sony for 450…If i am unable to get the Toshiba which i really want.

I am also waiting to see if Fry’s ends up having a killer deal on a 32″

but for right now that is what i am planning on doing.

1.Toshiba
2. Sony (sears price match +10% OFF) if they don’t price match it i will just buy it for advertised price its still a killer deal. As it will be my first HDTV screen and am upgrading from a cheap no name 17″ CRT

20 Pervy { 11.27.08 at 1:27 pm }

Sounds good, lol. I’ll be crossing fingers for the plan to work out, good luck ^^.

21 C { 11.27.08 at 6:15 pm }

Good Luck to you, Fry’s Just saved us…

598 for 42″ plasma

388 For Samsung 32 “….

22 C { 11.29.08 at 9:28 pm }

Wow, Fry’s was crazy! 100′s of people. Old ladies getting squished it was crazy! The samsung A330 for 388 was sold out in less then an hour. So i made it to Circuit City, i was in and out in like 20 minutes with my new Toshiba for 449. I am glad i picked it up the PC input is a big plus. I am using it now also the FOX HD streaming website look incredible on this screen…

Did you pick up a TV?

23 Pervy { 11.30.08 at 4:16 am }

That’s good to hear ^^. Me on the other hand, just got myself a spiffy 22″ monitor from Office Depot (roughly around $150).

Though, all that talk about that talk about TV’s made me want to get one myself, but temptation has lost it’s effects on me, lol.
