Bought a new TV! (Pictures added)

Reply Contact

I was on the fence about getting a different TV and today I made the decision. Went to Best Buy tonight and bought a 70" Sharp LED AQUOS model LC70LE732U. No 3D wasn't a big deal for me and it has all the other features I want such as Wi-Fi with Pandora and NetFlix.

They had the TV advertised online for $2799.99 but in-store they have it on sale for $2299.99, $1,000.00 off the original price. Plus, they offered free shipping and 36 months interest free financing.

They didn't have one in stock but said they'd have one in and delivered by Sunday. Can't wait!!

At first I was going to go with a 60" TV, but I just didn't like the idea of going smaller. So far my HDTVs have been 42", then 56", then 65" and now 70". I told my wife that I will keep this TV for a very, very long time.

Grats on a great TV I bought the same one. One thing to mention is turn off the film mode (it’s set to on default for some reason). Makes a huge difference in the motion and movement quality. No idea why anyone would have it on.

Yeah when I was going through the TV's menu at Best Buy I saw a lot of 'enhancements' that I'll be sure to turn off. If only TV manufacturers would make their TVs without all that crap they'd be probably be a lot cheaper!
