I was just looking around at amazon and turns out they’re having a sale of some sorts and there are several HDTV's in my price range. I'll have to stop buying games/dvds for months to feel less guilty but my backlog is already huge... and since next-gen is getting closer I might as well upgrade now..


Any thoughts on any of these 3?

for that price its easily the sanyo 30" widescreen HDTV. Its just under $600 and its really a nice unit. Even has built in HD tuner. I bought one and would buy another.

its refurbished but still a hell of a deal, free shipping too.

I saw that philips TV in another thread and it sold out pretty fast. :lol

Yeah someone linked to it in that other tv advice thread but it's sold out in walmart.

I found it at overstock but it's over $700, with that price is it still better than the 3 at amazon?

have you tried, you know, actually walking into a store?

walmart has a pretty good return policy on their tvs if i remember correclty

i saw that sanyo at a walmart once and i was amazed at the quality for the price.

 

[Chrono]

I don't have a car but I'll manage to get to walmart tomorrow. They deliver TVs you buy in-store right? I don't think I can carry that thing back.

Just to make sure, those other TVs aren't that much better, or better at all, than the sanyo?

Anyone know if this tv is any good?

That's a good review of the sony one. I don't care about built-in HD tuner (will only use it for games + dvds) so I'm thinking about getting this if it's considerably better than the sanyo... so is it?

Edit: my local walmart doesn't deliver anything, so I'll have to pick it up myself and I can't do that. =\

I'll just get the sony.

Ok after this I'm making a decision I swear.

The Sanyo is back in stock at walmart's site, so I don't have to worry about delivery.

Now it's sony vs. sanyo and I have no idea what to choose. The sony one has better stereo speakers, the sanyo one 'upcoverts everything to 1080i' which I'm not exactly sure if it's a good or bad thing and a lot of other things I don't know anything about. o_o

So it's either this:

Or this:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/prod...ct_id=2601425&sourceid=0100000012231185702498

Both are within my range (the sony just barely). I just need to know how they compare in terms of quality. Like what does the sony one have that the sanyo doesn't, for example?

You're my only hope GAF.

Edit: sanyo out of stock again. :lol

That's it I'm buying the sony. I'll check out my local circuit city to see other options though must to make sure...
