Comments please gents.

Thanks Bob
I don't know anything about televisions, but my younger daughter and her husband bought two new 50" Visios 7 or 8 months ago when they got married and bought a house. They mounted both of them on the wall; one upstairs in the game room and one downstairs in the living room. They look good to me.

As for the financing deal, I bought a new 40" Samsung HD/LCD TV for our living room and an Insignia 22" HD/LCD TV for the bedroom, and a new VCR/DVD recorder about 7 months ago at Best Buy, and got the 2 year no interest deal. As I said, I don't know anything about them, so I did pay for the extended warranties. Overall, I spent just over $2,200.00 and I've been making monthly payments of $22, then the last few at $21. I'm not sure how they came up with those amounts, but it's OK with me.

And I agree completely with MossRoad. I never would have bought the stuff if I didn't already have the money in the bank to pay it in full anytime. If you should fail to pay it off within that 2 years, you don't even want to know what kind of interest you'll get hit with. Read the fine print and it'll scare you.
