And use that tool that I linked to earlier. Ordinary math would suggest that a 32" is maybe ~75% than a 19"- right? Wrong. It's almost triple the size.

Some people have a hard time wraping their head around that. Keep in mind it's screen area, not diagonal size.

I recently bought a 32" Vizio from Costco for about $550. No complaints about it. And although Costco's warranty on tv's isn't what it used to be, it's still better then anywhere else.

There was a boatload of Konka's on sale the past couple weeks at Zellars (atleast the one at Forest Lawn). 32" for $350, and a few 37" for $500 or $550, can't remember. I was tempted but I'll hold off until atleast Boxing Day. Like everyone else has been saying, some of the better brand named TV's are really dipping in prices. Even some of the 1080p TV's you can find for about a grand now.

Just to note that FutureShop has the entry level 32" sony on for $579.

Not anymore. "Renters" have ruined it for everyone.

Futureshop is having their customer appreciation day October 27th. 10% off all TVs... maybe you can get a good deal there that day.

Also, Futureshop, Sears, Best Buy and a bunch of other stores do price matching... if you can get your hands on a flyer from "2001 Audio Video" they usually have pretty low prices. Check out their prices and pop into Sears which will usually have the highest prices... get them to price match and beat by an additional 10%.
