    No, received an email informing me of the delay. The expected date of shipment is now December 2 instead of November 24. :mad: :rolleyes:

    dude you can use that surround sound right now without a new tv.
    all those games, dvds, and blurays have superior sound that you have not heard before on the Emerson.

    http://stevestechguide.com/amazon-black-friday-deals/ laptops, blu-ray player, more... :eek:

    DUDES, from CF.net fan to another, I need to ask a favor... I am looking to buy my wife a good laptop, Dell or Toshiba preferred... something that looks sleek and can have a PINK cover... I noticed you can customize covers on Insipirons, but what about HP's or SONY's or Toshibas? Do they let you do that? Can you recommend something around the $500 price tag with an Intel processor that is not a Celeron? Thanks in advance, y'all.

    My dad gave me a 500-$550, limit on a HDTV something I don't know much about which is the best brand and size. I probably will be stuck with 32 in with vizio or samsung.

    It'll still likely be a great upgrade from what you've got. I have a 42" Westinghouse and have had no problems with it and love the picture. I don't have it next to a Sony so maybe I don't know what I'm missing but I like it.

    Be thankful you got a dad who has $550 to give to you.

    Look into rear projection, maybe Sams Club still has them around? Best bang for your buck. I would think you could get a 50in 720p DLP for that price.

    RRR,

    If you're interested, I have a TV for sale here, http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=158110.

    I'll make you a good deal that would fit your budget.

    I'm confused as hell now. As I stated, I received an email stating that shipping of my order had been delayed until next Tuesday. I click on the order in the email and check it on Dell.com and the website has it marked as shipped.

    I contact Dell through chat and phone and both tell me that the item shipped to day. On the website Dell has the carrier listed as CEVA and they gave me a tracking number to use with that carrier.

    I'm confused because if the item did ship why did I get that email? If it didn't ship and is indeed delayed, why does Dell say it has?

    Who is CEVA? I've never heard of that carrier or is it some type of acronym or something?

    Hmm, I still haven't gotten a surround sound for the Samsung you got me to buy. This doesn't look bad at all.

    But no speakers...just one strip? How in the hell does that work?

    you can listen to it at bestbuy, i think they have this setup with the rockband or guitar hero setup.

    yeah the speakers are on that strip and the subwoofer/control panel.

    its suppose to be decor friendly. i mean if you are not hardcore into audio, then it should be good. it got good reviews from cnet. check out their review.

    Yeah, I'm not hardcore into audio. I just need louder than what the TV provides.

    Is that a black friday deal or a regular deal?
