After discovering that Circuit City was bought out and saw the great deals they were offering, I opted to take advantage of them and ordered the LG 47LG70 LCD TV from TigerDirect for $1199( same parent company as Circuit City). Technically, I don't need the TV until the fall when I move into my apartment , but couldn't pass up this great deal. I am not a TV person, but from my rough understanding and haste research, it is a pretty decent TV. Full 1080p, 120 Hz refresh rate, HDMI, etc. From reviews and consumer reviews the only weakness is the speakers( just from them being invisible) and that the blacks are a bit weak, but everything else seems to be great. Anyone out there know anything more about this TV? Was it a smart buy, etc?

All Flat panel TVs have weak speakers. I have 3 of them, all different, and they all suck with sound. Invest in a receiver and speakers.

Sounds like a good deal to me. The LG's I have seen are nice. For more on your question: http://www.google.com

Kind of. Systemax (which owns Tiger Direct and CompUSA), bought the circuitcity.com domain. They do not own Circuit City.

this

most tv's have pretty bad speakers, thats why you get a sound system in at least one room.

but congrats on getting a good deal (i think)

Freaking TV is now on backorder. Stupid TigerDirect overselling their crap. If they cancel my order even though they will get more of the TV's, I will never buy from them again. GRRRRR.......
