We bought our TV on black friday about 6 years ago. It was the same sharp I had my eye on at Best Buy and has plenty of ports (6 HDMI and 2 standard, and I *think* it's a 1080p resolution, but, like I said, I bought it 6 years ago...). Though it wasn't a "doorbuster" it still was about $100 cheaper than it's normal price. I bought it on Best Buy dot com Thanksgiving morning. As stores comes out with their ads, do the research on what they are actually offering. The info was all right there. I agree that the prices that are "to good to be true" probably are (lesser quality) and the stores seem to only carry 1 or 2 in stock.
