OK, walked into Future Shock and got the following.. lemme know if it works out to be a good deal:
Philips 55" 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV (55PFL5505)
$1389 (regular $1499) - he took off $110 to offset delivery/disposal tax/screen cleaning kit.

Monster Screen Cleaning kit
$9.99
Dynex "EL CHEAPO" DvD player
$15 (he tried to throw this in but couldn't..i'll end up returning it)
4yr FutureShop Onsite Warranty Parts & Labour Full Replacement Guarantee
$299 (on a 55", i'll need some sort of piece of mind cuz it ain't gonna fit in a TL if i need to get it serviced)
...and some BOGUS disposal tax?
$35
slapped it on a 12month payment plan via Future Shop card.
total with tax. $1992.
the Philips has a USB port so I think i can plug in a usb thumb drive and play divx movies off it.. have to test that.
but other than that.. overall a good deal???
