actually the tv i was looking at on walmart has the hz listed as 60hz
There’s been at least 12 things I HAVEN’T bought here just because of the texas tax…
This is the manufacturer/distributor of the TV:
(The TV isn’t listed on their website though.)
This is the manual for the TV:

Yes, using either the standard VGA input or (more rare for a computer), one of the HDMI inputs. But…you won’t see more detail than on any smaller 1080 monitor. It has the same number of pixels, just larger ones. And your video card has to support this resolution.
A friend of mine has a 47" TV that he also uses as a computer monitor. Works great–nice and clear, even with VGA input. But it looks silly when he sits in front of it.
When did woot start charging sales tax for Mass?
What’s up with nothing shiping to APO/FPO anymore? A shame, really great deals on here the overseas military can’t be apart of! No different than shipping to NY.
Tell me about it. What’s worse is that they will no longer ship the exact same item they shipped me to my APO address before. I can sort of understand it for this one since it will likely be delivered by freight company and not USPS, but tablets? Really Woot?
@ROGETRAY, I sorta get you don’t want ‘principles of sales taxes’ debates on product pages, but hopefully it is OK to mention the sales tax and highlight that the sales tax might break the deal for alternative-source price comparison purposes?
Just throwing this out there, Kmart has this today for $249.99 free in store pickup shipping is free, http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_012W005463191001P

Can’t find any reviews for it.
@jbrunel, MA is a new Woot sales tax state vs what woot claimed about 2 weeks ago:
AZ, CA, GA, KS, KY, NJ, NY, PA, TX, VA, WA, and WV.
Surprising the Taxachusettes AG didn’t come knocking on Woot’s door previously.
Another option is for all Wooters to move to a non-sales tax state, such as Oregon. Of course jobs aren’t too plentiful here and it rains a lot, but no sales tax is one good reason to stay.
you pay sales tax if Amazon has a facility in your state. In wisconsin, this just started friday–it killed my purchase of 3 memory foam mattress toppers I had in my cart. Now tax is a bigger factor than shipping. This TV? Add another $20 for tax, last week it was zero.
@populuxe, and now it becomes more clear why Woot wants sales tax discussions buried in the caves elsewhere… The list of states grows…
@MikeRaphone, good find.
Affinity appears to be a reconstitution of or somehow affiliated with the original Apex Digital. Apex filed for bankruptcy in 2010 and guess when Affinity started?
Strangely, while the original “Apex” claimed to be privately owned, the reconstituted Apex appears to be owned by the government of China. Perhaps China bought the brand out of bankruptcy since it had name recognition.
The KMART DW39F1Y1 deal on the Westinghouse seems a ton better. I cant find reviews on it either though…
The refresh rate is listed on the spec. page.
Check the spec. page. The refresh rate is there.
It’s not immediately accurate in that I have not done continuous checking. Historically, Westinghouse flat screens can come at a nice price point compared to the bigger names, but for a reason.
Almost every time I checked, their claimed contrast levels are far less. Every time I physically checked the images at Sams, it was confirmed to be true.
Contrast levels and at the same time black levels are what makes a screen look rich just as pixels and refresh rate.
For a while, plasmas had the edge because the individual pixels (photons) were flat turned off, but LCDs where just blanking the backlight to make a black pixel. Blacks were actually dark grays.
The new LED backlights allow the individual pixels to be 100% off, and now they can compete against plasmas. They also do not have the glare of a glass plasma if you have high ambient light, like a south facing room with no blackout blinds.
This unit seems to be a good deal, especially if it is truly LED backlit.
Yeah, like I said, it was my bad (I was nuking a BF useless post)
Tax discussion is regards to the topic at hand (toady’s offer) is definitely encouraged (especially when checking alternative-sourced price comps).
The only time it’s not welcome is when it PURELY is the topic at hand.
