Saw this and the (supposedly) upcoming 50" at slickdeals but no one knew when they'd go on sale. Was considering either a 40" or so for a basement room we're converting into a gameroom/gym. Either that or go bigger in my "mancave" and move the 50 down. This sealed the deal and I jumped on one.

I have such a hard time buying a non mainstream Chinese brand, I almost pulled the trigger but just couldn't do it.

I don't own one but it gets good reviews on Amazon. If they had a 55 instead of a 50 I'd probably give it a shot.I have such a hard time buying a non mainstream Chinese brand, I almost pulled the trigger but just couldn't do it.

I figured for the price and where it's going I couldn't go wrong. Certainly wouldn't want to drop much on that brand not having heard of them before a few hours ago.I have such a hard time buying a non mainstream Chinese brand, I almost pulled the trigger but just couldn't do it.

Quick search on the goog says Seiki uses Samsung parts. Could be decent...I figured for the price and where it's going I couldn't go wrong.

Damn, got on waiting list but missed it. Want something that size and price for girlfriend, and something 55+ for me.

Got the 50 inch Seiki on a Lightning Deal for 229.00. Yeah, it's an off brand.....but its getting good reviews and has Samsung parts. For that price...why not?

I stumbled on it. I missed the 40 yesterday and checked right around 7:00 to see if anything new was up. It was there...but I don't remember seeing it on the upcoming list. I got on the waitlist and got it about 10 minutes after.

Damn, I didn't see that one either - maybe the tv deals are just added a little ahead of time to the upcoming deals roll?
Right now there is a 20" sekei deal... of course I was successful in clicking on that one
I thought maybe it would be priced at something ridiculous like $35, but no, $75... so not worth it without a specific need for it.

One of those old brands (Chinese) that's trying to catch up in today's market like RCA/Philips. Iffy purchase, I wouldn't do it unless you just don't care about wasting $400.

The look on your friends faces when you tell them you bought a Changhong TV has to be worth at least sixty bucks.

Up in Canada, not the great deals you guys have down there, but, I'm wavering between:
Samsung PN51F5300 51" Plasma - $699
LG 60PN6500 60" Plasma $799
Samsung UN55FH6030 55" LED $899
I don't care if it's a SMART TV. Not at all interested in 3D. Just want good value for the buck. Mostly watching sports but my kids will be playing games on it - CoD, NHL 13, etc.
Thinking go for size, but not certain about LG quality. Pretty sure the Samsung are safe bets.
Thoughts?

I will try to ignore my old motto of "if it's not Changhong, it's crap".

I would go with one of the plasmas then, I have an LG in the bedroom and it's a good TV. However, either choice is a good one. Samsung may have a bit better of a picture.

just set my alarm. Will this link take me to where I need to be to buy it at midnight?
Thanks. Your LG doesn't have a humming/buzzing sound when lots of whites are showing does it? I'll be watching lots of hockey on it so if that happens it'll be annoying. I've read some comments on this - specifically with Plasma and seems to be with LG Plasma in particular.

Nope mine doesn't and I watch the Hawks a lot. Have a Panny plasmas as my main TV and no buzzing there either.

Doesn't look like a "deal" but seems like a decent price -- Samsung 51" 720p for $428 delivered. Would you expect better in the next 24 hours?

I personally wouldn't go for a 720p... not unless it was a huge discount. You should be able to score a 1080p in that size range for close to that price.

So lame, this is the one I've been waiting for. Had the page for item up on my computer past two days. Installed amazon app on phone and put to notify me of lightning deals hoping it would give me notice, but still missed it.

wtf. No way I can catch stuff that quickAmazon's 32" Seike for 98.00 hit 25 minutes ago and is sold out. I missed it but am on the waitlist

And it wasn't in the upcoming deals or anything. I have been pretty religious about checking the page as well. Kind of pissed about that.wtf. No way I can catch stuff that quickAmazon's 32" Seike for 98.00 hit 25 minutes ago and is sold out. I missed it but am on the waitlist

Kids room for me. They have gotten good reviews and it's Amazon so the return policy is great so I am not too worried.

Looking for a 32" or 40" 1080p for my kid's PS4. If anyone sees anything let me know. Has to be 1080p, though.
