They usually have 70 year old retiree's at the door, so as long as they don't have tasers you may be able to out walk them and make it to the TV section before they catch you. biggrin.gif

$4698 I'm paying tax but would rather buy from a B&M, plus I'm a Platinum member and I get some perks.
Now to decide on a tilt mount.

be careful with "Video Only" I have heard horror stories about their return policies ...... U agree to accept a open box as a return replacement & other bad things google them you'll see what I mean ................also tales of getting a open box when it was to be a 'New Item "

Interesting thing I just heard from a Sears salesman in the TV dept.
He said, I have been selling Tv's for 15 yrs and I would not buy the 632U because it is only 120HZ
I asked him why..he said with 120hz on a 55" panel it would not be an issue but on an 80" set fast motion is very noticeable.
I didn't say anything to him but then again if I was buying the 632u I don't think I would have an issue as I am not a sports watcher...He was adamant.

"SEARS"


"Salesman"

add both those keywords together = a person who might not know what he is talking about .

I Really would expect a Sears Salesman to spout gibberish like this , I would be nice & nod my head .......
Learned along time ago not to argue with idiots ,you have to sink to their level & at that low level of thought processes they have more experience than I do & he would win at being a idiot.

I was in Sears getting a price quote on the 632 about a month ago, and while waiting my turn I overheard the two "salesmen" explaining to this old retired couple that they need 240Hz if they want to clearly see the tennis balls during Wimbledon. This was the extent of the differences between 120Hz and 240Hz.

This week I ended up picking up two 80 inch 632u from Sears for my parents and myself for $3419 and no tax. No tax was because the store I chose was in NH where there is no sales tax. I paid $38.00 total to rent a Uhaul Van and my daughter and I picked it up and brought it into my parents home and the other to my home.
They had an issue getting them from their warehouse to the store and was 3 days late yesterday so I spoke to a Manager on Wednesday and he credited back $200 off each...Price paid was $3219 Total. In addition, I cancelled my internet order on the 844U because the price was so good on this TV I couldn't pass it up.
I got both sets for the $3219.
The set is now on my wall and 120hz or not...the picture quality looks as good as any of the other tvs in my home which are a Samsung 55 LCD,
a JVC 46 LCD and a Toshiba 52 LCD. At the price I paid I am extremely satisfied. I used the Sanus LT25 Tilt Mount which leaves a few inches behind the set to reach back for cables, etc....The easy adjust mount is awesome..You can adjust tilt and left and right adjust as well as if the tv corners are tilted down left or right all with the tv on the wall. The mount is rated to 175 lbs,

The 632 80" has the best track record for no issues & is easy to set-up with famous Suzook settings , dollar 4 dollar it's the best bang 4 buck , if your not a 3D fan then it's a no brainer ... smile.gif
That Sears price is great

Also, the majority of 240 rate sets are really 120's with a strobing LED backlight - so the pixels aren't being refreshed any faster than a 120 set........

I guess it was about three weeks ago when Sears and Best Buy quoted me $3909 for this set. eek.gif

I held out for many months waiting for this model to drop below $3500, and bought because I didn't think it would ever get below that price. Who knew it would happen if I waited just three more weeks? mad.gif

On Saturday the local Best Buy matched East Coast TVs price of $4497.22 for the 844U and gave me 36 months no interest. They did charge sales tax on top of that but delivery into the home was included. The manager that was there asked me to go to their web site for the after sale survey and tell them it was because of the price match that I bought it there to give him ammo to keep doing it. My timing was good, I see East Coast raised their price $600 from Saturday.

Does anybody know whats going on? Everyone seems to have raised their prices of the 844 by 500 or 600 dollars in the last few days. I'm getting ready to purchase but now maybe I should wait to see what is happening.

as stated a couple of times stock is low on them so prices went up they will come back down and stablize once sharp starts shipping more out again. so if you can wait just wait a bit smile.gif

I think because of the fact that this size TV is Sharp's market, they will go to new models before you see those type of price drops. They want to keep the prices up for profit rather than give them away so new models allows this....

really does not help that other companies like Lg Samsung etc make bigger tvs or rather starting to and they price them so high the average cusomer does keeps on walking by. so who is gonna buy a 10k plus tv unless your making 6 figures. sharps reasonably priced 80" is right there at the line for justification for most. Im just hoping it creeps down more so all that ensures is they sale even more units

Yeah, somehow $4500 with a pair of glasses just "feels" reasonable and even a "deal" considering how much even 80" DLP was a few years ago.

Lets face it, when calibrated this panel has amazing quality compared to teh best stuff from a few years ago.

Fry's has the 632U in today's ad for a paltry $4,499 + the usual $69.99 + $1.50/mile over 20 miles delivery charge + tax on both. The good news is none of the three Houston stores have any stock available.

For all you in locations with no Fry's store, you can get the $4,499 price on line at frys.com. The bad news is they are in stock and ready to ship!wink.gif

$4500 for the 632+tax is not really a deal smile.gif I mean, you can get the 844 with glasses shipped for $5100 now from East Coast whatever. BB will match them.

I am pulling the trigger on the 844 when it is in the $4500 range with 1 pair glasses
