Not a bad buy for the price but for 200.00 more you can find yourself a better 1080p Tv

better than most lcd's between 1600 and less. It's a good tv, with a 42 inch you don't need 1080p, just watch it at the appropriate distance

I was just about to post my "find" on this set at Best Buy this afternoon.
Went over to pick up a Garmin GPS mat mount they had on sale and was looking around before picking it up. I noticed they had a bunch of different sets scattered around the store with "additional 20% off clearance" signs on them.

This set was marked $599 but had one of the signs on it so I asked and sure enough it was included. It was sealed in the box. So no open box nonsense.

Paid $513 out the door with my 7% sales tax in MS.

Just need to ditch my 37" LCD in my bedroom and get this one set up in there. Very pleased for the price!

i myself had a score today...a local shop named bernies accidentally advertised the tcp46g10 for $1099..it was suppose to be the tcp46s1...so i grabbed that off them asap before they could realize the mistake

The 600HZ is the subfield drive. Yes the TV is a 60HZ. Its in no way shape or form the same thing as 120HZ/240HZ like you see on LCDs.
