60" Rear Projection LCD HDTV on sale at Costo this week.
Anybody have any experience with this model or similar models? I'm looking for what would be the pros and cons for this set.
It's on sale for $2499 ($300 off $2799) this week.
Sorry but I couldn't find the model number.

What brand? Akai?
I'd be leery of anything that isn't a name brand, however Costco has by far the best return policy in the business, so it's pretty low risk if you decide to buy it.

Akai is a good brand. It is the same exact company/design of the Samsung models. I have an Akai TV and its the exact same as my friends Samsung who paid 100s more.

Yes, with some brands you pay a bit for name, but moreso, you pay for superior parts.
Though, my definition and your definition of "same" may be very different.

Which did I actually get? Neither. Decided to build my HT room with and now have a 94" DIY screen, front pj and everthing else I needed (paint, wood, etc) for about the same money.
