Uh Oh! I've Got Dead Pixels! - Blu-ray Forum

one thing that ticks me off about futureshop, is that I bought the tv 5 months ago, and now you can get a ps3 with it surround sound system (only 5.1 though) plus the prices have come down like 300 - 400 dollars. But that is the way the ball rolls for me I guess. Just like how when I bought my ps3 it was $649 and now they are $399 with a game.

im checking out the prices of the bravias now, i paid 1999.00 for my tv but he knocked off 300 right off the bat because he knew me. So I basically got the higher end model for the same price as the lower end model. plus he gave me my rogers programming free and a monster hdmi cable for half price, 75 instead of 150. But this could hurt me if I'm going for store credit, lol!

from Canada?? im in ontario

FWIW, I love my Sony SXRD, but I was considering a Sharp Aquas for the bedroom. Making we wonder about it now though.

We're getting ready to remodel our bedroom here, and I'm going to do the same thing, no more getting out of bed to change movies! I'm thinking about putting my BDP-S1 in the bedroom and picking up the new Panasonic for the living room. $499 for the next-gen Blu-ray player?! You gotta love that...

Most manufacturers will not replace the lcd panel under F/W unless it has a certain number of dead pixels. One definitely won't qualify it for replacement, so unless you know the salesman like you said you do, or you purchased the unit less than 30 days ago, you're SOL.

nothing.sound · 11-12-2007, 12:55 AM
