Thankfully, most of the electronic stores in Red Deer are huddled together on the south end so I was able to check out a few stores. There are some nice deals, but again not a whole bunch in my price range.
I appreciate everyone's virtual support and I don't want to drone on and on about my decision process and bad luck. All I can say is that as a gamer I am too paranoid about plasma, and too paranoid about Costco. I'm going to take this Samsung back after the weekend. If I can afford an additional in-store warranty I will get one, otherwise I am not going to worry too much about it at this point. |
It just seems that you keep compromising on the suggestions and advice that have popped up often in this thread just because you want to save a few bucks or get a costco model which in the end defeated the purpose of that advice (spend a little more, maybe try Panasonic plasma, etc.)
I know from gaming on a $1000 (on sale) Panasonic plasma and leaving it for like half and hour didn't leave any IR that didn't go away after shutting it off for like 5 minutes. I also know my $1700 60" LG plasma has no problems with IR because I run a computer on it half the time with the windows bars and all that jazz being static for a long, long time.
Goodluck on your continued search for a TV. Go for an LED that you feel is right perhaps.
