To say I've been frugal in the past couple of years is probably an understatement. I haven't bought much of anything outside of my budget for quite a while.

Well, it happened. We had been debating on where to put the TV in the bedroom and after a couple years finally settled on it. I picked up a couple of 40" Sony LCDs 2 years ago for less than the price of one and had been using one of those, but that just wasn't going to cut it. I sold one to a co-worker who was getting by with a 19" CRT. And I don't mean a young broke co-worker, I mean a 57 year old man with a bank full of money and a love for television and movies. Some people amaze me.

I decided to look around and found one of the new Samsung LED with the 0.2" border for a steal. I never cared about 3D and had no intention of buying another TV anytime soon. I had been happy with the 52" I've had for 3 years and the 2 40". That said, I was really impressed with these new Samsungs. Even though I love technology I don't necessarily have to have the latest and greatest just because, but having practically no border was very impressive. I actually looked around to see if I could find a non-3D for cheaper, but they just don't do it.

So, I picked up a 46" UN46D7000. Luckily at the same time, Samsung was offering BOTH a 3D blu-ray player (BD-D5500) and 3D blu-ray starter kit (2 pairs of glasses and 5 blu-rays) FOR FREE. I ended up getting it ALL for $1500 from Amazon (so no tax and free shipping). I consider that to be pretty ridiculous. I might not have bought anything had it not been for this deal, but I would have been borderline on paying that just for the TV.

I've had it for just over a month now and can't praise it enough. DAMN this TV looks good!! You can read the reviews if you want and all the ones I've seen are accurate. A totally black screen shows to be quite uneven, but I've never been able to notice anything wrong with the lighting while watching something. The 3D is pretty cool too, a lot better than I expected.

Now I just need to hang it on the wall...

Nice, after I get to working again we plan on getting into a 60" something. I have a huge wall space I need to fill with a tv

I love this TV, although the price gap to 60" is very significant.
