I'd prefer to get it at best buy, because i've got a $500 Gift certificate there. so i'd like to put that against the tv.

the thing that confuses me with the samsungs, is they have different canadian and american model numbers. they both seem to be the same tv. but i cant find many reviews on the canadian model. R5064 vs american model R5067.

I'm gonna go into the store tonight, and test out a couple tv's and i'll probably make my decision early next week.

Almost all manufacturers do this. Even for things like appliances. You have to assume that it might be slightly different because of some government regulation, but the ratings and standing repair records for a US tv would be the same for the Can. tv.

You could always use the $500 for somehting else besides the headache of a, I won't use the word s***ty tv, because it's not that bad, tv that might not be exactly what you are looking for.
But maybe it's exactly what your looking for.
Another excuse to come on here and bitch about a product that doesn't live up to your expectations.
Hey, that's funny.
And I am kidding. Sorta. My point. Don't be cheap. And look into it alot further. $2k is $2k. Look at what it took you to earn it and the time you invested to get there and you'll see that it is a much more important decision than asking us dumb dumbs what our opinions are. :D
