Mentok has his TV! Nice large pics inside!

**MentokTheMindTaker** · 03-03-2007 08:20 PM

I have just purchased my Sharp LC-37GP1U from Buy.com. I paid $1,414.99 for the TV, $149.99 for a 2 year extended warranty and $136.00 for shipping. All in all it cost me $1,700.98.

The TV should arrive next week and I will post pictures and video of me enjoying it right here!

I am giddy with joy and anticipation!

Nice one Mentok. Let us know what you think of the display.

I don't know too much about the Sharp LCD sets, they are certainly not as popular over here as much as the Sony/Samsung/Philips LCD sets are.

Woohooo, Party at Mentok's pad! when the TV arrives of course, I'll bring keg and some HD titles

Sweet... lizard is bringing the beer... I'll order some pizzas!

Congrats Mentok!

You are all gonna boo and hiss, but the first movie I am going to watch in 1080p will be The Fifth Element. (Don't hurt me!)

It was the first Blu-ray I got and I have forced myself to wait until I have my HDTV before I can watch it. Even if the print is not so good there are scenes in the movie that I am very anxious to see in 1080p!

Then I want to try out Tekken 5 DR and Resistance Fall of Man.

Buy.com has said my order is delayed.

But they are going to ship it to me as soon as they can. I think it sucks that they have my $1,700 and that they get to hold on to it while I get nothing. They have said that I can cancel my order, but I would prefer it if they gave me my money back until the actually ship my TV.

**Iggytx** · 03-07-2007 10:47 AM

We are all a little heart-broken for you Mentok.

I don't know if this is a federal law, or if it's specific to California (in which case it's useless to you)... but I was under the impression that they can't charge you for something until it ships.

I know that amazon won't charge your card (at least they won't charge my card) until they ship the item. It really is a LAW thing... you should look into it Mentok... you could be earning interest on that money while you wait (or not earning interest if it's a credit card).

I may do that if I don't get an update by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
