Season job at Best Buy: What kind of HDTV should I buy?

On Nov 1st I will be starting a seasonal job at Best Buy and will start getting the Employee discount on the 1st day I start.

A few weeks ago I talked to one of the other BB employees and ask him how much of a discount I could get on a "Samsung 32 inch DynaFlat HDTV Monitor". The HDTV is being sold for $900, he said I could pick it up for about $650 with the discount.


Here are the HDTVs I was thinking about:
-Samsung 32 inch DynaFlat HDTV Monitor TXN3271HF (Price, Quality and size for my house)
-Sony 36 inch WEGA HDTV Monitor 2-Tuner Picture-In-Picture JPEG Viewer KV36HS510 (Size of screen, DVI Connection, Memory stick, Brand Name)
-Sony 32" WEGA Flat-Tube HDTV Monitor KV-32HS510 (Price, Memory Stick, DVI Connection, Brand Name)


I wanted to buy a 4:3 because of all the old TV shows I own on DVD and the price is cheaper to buy a 4:3 HDTV than it is to buy the same size Widescreen.

Looks like my chooses are between Sony, Samsung, Toshiba and Philips.

I am 60% leaning towards buy the Samsung for the price and size and 40% leaning towards the Sony 36 inch which will cost my about $400 more.


Any input from anyone who has bought one of the above TVs.

How about "Billy Blanks: The Best of Tae-Bo - Ultimate Upper Body"?

I thought with stores like BB and CC, you have to wait 60 days after your first day of employment. I know this was like that at CC cause I worked at one for 5 years

This is true for either new full time or new part time employees. I remember when I was working at Best Buy, seasonal employees began receiving their discount on their first day of work.

How about an Infocus X1? It's 4:3 native and not a bad front projector (if you don't see the rainbows).
