The 50ST50 is now hard to find, but Best Buy may be able to special order for $1,095. I think it had previously been $999. But they do have the 50UT50 still around for $699, which may be the overall best value. The glossy screen doesn't bother me, so do the custom controls and pro settings make the GT that much better?

Ordered 11pm est Thurs Jan 3rd.

Shipped Info:

Going from Virgina Beach to Western New York via freight.

Personally I am not in any hurry since receipt will require quite a bit of work on my part but I will edit this with updates.

FWIW its says

1/10/13 Update: Ordered on 1/8/13 at 1:06pm. Being shipped from Denver to Fresno, CA by HomeDirectUSA. It was picked up yesterday (1/9) and status said "In Transit". Estimated delivery date is 1/18. Hoping that is conservative and plan to call local delivery company in advance to secure actual delivery date sooner.

Will keep you posted if interested.

Yeah, I agree, but where are you finding the 65vt50 for 2500? Paul's has it for 2600 w/SAVE400 code. The spread between GT50 and VT50 pricing appears to be larger on the smaller TVs. For the 55", I'm showing best price on the VT at 1699 versus the GT at 1249 (both at Paul's w/ applicable coupons). Has anyone found a 55GT50 from an authorized reseller for anything lower than Paul's?
