Help With TV and Audio Decision

[Mr. HiDef]

OK I need some advice my g/f dad is in the market for a new tv for christmas he was going to buy a 42" Vizio LCD for $700 but I told him to hold off and let me see if anyone has a better tv for the same price..So guys and suggestions it has to be a 42" or bigger and a LCD


Also another buddy I just converted him to Blu-ray and he now wants hd audio, he is using a PS3 for the bd player and wants a 5.1 system that is htib he was looking at the onkyos (I know he would be better off just saving for a real system but he doesnt have the money and wants something now) so if anyone knows of a good HTIB that can do the hd codecs for $500 or less that would be great

Thanks

As far as the TV, you may be hard pressed to find another one in that price range.

However, for $550 on Amazon, your friend can get this Onkyo HTiB.

Or for about $570, he can get an Onkyo 606 receiver and the Polk 6750 speaker package.

Yeah that is the one he was looking at but didnt want a 7.1 system but no big deal he can just not hook up the 2 speakers now do you know what receiver comes with that system is it the 606?

Yes, it comes with the 606 receiver.

You may want to suggest the Polks. They are better speakers than the ones in the Onkyo HTiB.

You might want to check out Best Buy...they had a Samsung 40 1080p for about 800.00.They had about 10 or so on the sales floor at my local Best Buy.

There's an $800 50" Samsung at Best Buy (and Walmart) for Black Friday. It was also a 720p.
