Oh yeah

So about two months ago, I happened to be browsing the Newegg daily deals (which usually last at least a week) and noticed a 42" LG TV at a huge discount - $1400 off. I thought "Wow, that would be great to have. Oh well."

A week later it was still in the daily deals. $999 for a $2399 1080p LCD TV. I really wished I could have it.

A week after that it was still in the daily deals. Such a huge discount, and a seriously sweet 2" thick TV. So I discussed it with Leen and we decided that it was totally worth it. We bought it, and a few days later it arrived in an enormous box. It's a beautiful TV - it looks very sleek and the picture is amazing. The "120 Hz Truemotion" feature takes some getting used to, but it's not that bad (and it can be disabled if you really can't stand it). All in all, for that price, it's an incredible deal. In fact, it's still on sale at Newegg (I suspect they're trying to clear stock to bring in the new line of LG TVs) so if you're in the market for a new TV then you should really go check it out. The only disadvantage is that the built-in speakers, while being invisible as advertised, sound awful. But honestly... I wasn't expecting much.

not to sound like a jackoff or anything, but i bought a 42" panasonic for $999 that wasn't on sale (though being military buying on base means no sales tax). anywho, i think newegg might be jerking everyones chain saying that the tv you bought is really $2300. but still a good find to see a 42 flat panel for under 1k.

Of course! It was the first thing I hooked up!

No, actually if you search for the model number (42LGX) you'll see that the retail price is $2400. The cheapest I see it anywhere besides newegg is $1700. The LGX series is (or was) LG's top-of-the-line models, which is why they're so expensive. It is true that you can get 42" TVs cheaper (I saw a few in the $700-$800 range at Costco), but they're not as nice.
