Well, I know this should probably go in some other forum, but this is a good deal for anyone interested in buying an HDTV (for xbox360)
I just got a samsung 26" widescreen hdtv (model 2670) for $337.xx at target including tax. It is on clearance right now. Used to be $699, now marked down to $350 (50%), and I got an additional 10% off by getting the target card. WOO! Great deal. This tv has many great features and i will post more about it when I get home. I also just ordered xbox Component cables for $5.01 shipped off ebay (to hold me over until the 360)
This tv is last years model, however, the only thing that changed in the new one was that the tv went from DVI to HDMI and is now black. All other features are the same. Also, the DVI on this TV supports the HD copy protection junk that will be coming soon. And has a built in tuner
Check your local target... I dont know if this is nationwide as it is a clearance, but I found it on another forum and went to my target and sure enough... 350. Check it out!

Thanks for all the info.
"This tv is last years model, however, the only thing that changed in the new one was that the tv went from DVI to HDMI and is now black."
I know what DVI is because my computer uses it for the monitor, but what is HDMI and which is better? Also, if I get one that is HDMI, will my xbox be able to use its HD pack for it?

At that size I'd much rather have a CRT over an LCD... response time, color, black levels, etc wll all be superior on a CRT, not to mention it's cheaper (even if they're both well below the $1K mark).
Unless you're REALLY REALLY hard up for space I'd go with the CRT in a heartbeat.

I didn't buy it though, called up a buddy who's been looking for one, I already have 5 friggin TVs and my projector.
I figure I don't really need an HDTV that size right now and when the 360 comes out it will be on the projector, maybe this time next year I'll need one and all the next years worth of models will be on the clearance rack

I got one of the 26-inch widescreen HDTV LCD's at Target for $458 before sales tax. Awesome deals, reviews on the model I got were good, and over the past month the TV has been excellent.
mirx999 was right about their electronics deals--lots of good deals where I am. Got a couple of Olympus P-10 photo printers for $37, sold one on eBay and my profit on that paid for the other one...lots of other great deals too, especially on summer-season stuff (grills, fans, air conditioners...).
