Re: It's finally going to happen!

Speaking of that, When do we get our $600 bucks from him.

The rebate checks should start going out in may according to your social security number. see chart below. Also, for anyone considering future purchases at Sears, they are offerring a 10% bonus if you bring in the rebate check and convert it to a gift card with no expiration or fees. I believe they are offerring this from May 14 - July 19. Not a bad deal depending on the amount of the rebate. For folks recevieng the rebate via direct deposit, Sears is working on a way for that to work also.

The economic stimulus payment will be issued based on the last two digits of your Social Security number and whether you are receiving the payment by direct deposit or mail.


DIRECT DEPOSIT
Last two SSN digits: Payment will be transmitted:
00 through 20 May 2
21 through 75 May 9
76 through 99 May 16
PAPER CHECK
Last two SSN digits: Payments will be mailed by:
00 through 09 May 16
10 through 18 May 23
19 through 25
May 30
26 through 38 June 6
39 through 51 June 13
52 through 63 June 20
64 through 75 June 27
76 through 87 July 4
88 through 99 July 11

Thanks Derek

DLP. BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. My 2,000 dollar Samsung destroys alot of LCD/Plasma costing alot more. 56" Baby....and sitting 10 feet away...Booooooooya.

Congrats Tim...happy to hear someone is getting back instead of owing

My 52" Toshiba DLP spanks just about all of LCD sets that I have seen, with the exception of the extremely expensive Sharp Aquos series...yes, there is a certain graininess to the pic, but I actually have gotten used to it and think that sets that don't show any grain at all are not showing you the true resolution available.

And Panasonic does do a great job on plasma...good value for their price point.

But, if you can, see if you can pick up one of those Pioneer Elite series sets...dealers may want to walk them out the door now that Pioneer is getting out of the plasma business.

Hey Tim, I think the IRS monitors this web site LOL!!!!!



Just JOKING, enjoy the WAMPOM, and have fun getting your new DIGS.

tim,

the toshiba regza line is fantastic. however, if you stick with regular dvds, then you're getting very little use out of an hdtv. you should get hd cable, hd satellite, an hd dvd player, or a blu-ray player to get the most use out of your new tv.

eddie

p.s. did you enjoy jimi's latest spew salad?

Or even just a plain old roof top antenna or bunny ears work too )

Dish Network offers the least amount of visible compression artifacts...DirecTV has more...HD Cable has even more artifacts...

Next time, claim 0 or 1 on your W-4 with your employer and you won't have that issue. Of course, if you're self-employed, I don't know what to tell you.

Now as far as the picture goes, that's where I differ from a lot of people. I'm the kind of person that prefers the softer picture. Too sharp equates to lots of grain and pixely things dancing all over the screen! That drives me nuts! I like my picture to look smooth, and most of the newer plasmas I've seen do exactly that -- however, I'd say the opposite just a few years ago as plasmas looked the worst to me for grain. Obviously many improvements have been made on plasmas since then. I have a buddy of mine that owns a Samsung 60" DLP, and I can't stand all the grain -- plus it seems very difficult to get rid of as the settings don't have a lot of range, IMO.

OMG! Tell me about it!

I don't see why Henning just doesn't make a BLOG section on the site, then Jimi Love can Blog away in Blog paradise. I tell ya' Eddie, it's so much more helpful for me to read a short paragraph that's to the point, short, sweet and simple. Then again, you and I know that Jimi does it just to annoy the crap out of us.
