Great value. I have this tv as my desktop monitor and I paid 279. It’s worth ever penny in my opinion. I’d def pay 230 for it. I bought it online for 279 before Halloween. Does everything I need it to as speakers and a monitor.
I purchased a 47" TV from Woot and I can tell you that the shipping is an incredible value. Plus, FedEx handled the delivery with great professionalism.
I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase a TV again from Woot.
I need one for the bedroom. My other one is a Philips and I’ve been rather pleased with it…and I would like nothing more than a matching set. But I shall wait until more senior Wooters chime in and tell me whether this is a good value or not.
Cue the 720p, refurb and Philips haters. Fact is, Philips is fine, refurbs are fine, 720 is fine. This is a hella deal, especially historically speaking. Wanna guess what I paid for my first 24" color TV in the 1970s?
Question, folks: I still use traditional 4:3 CRT TVs. Would this guy work with a plain non-box, non-HD cable TV coaxial input? If so, how does the extreme difference in shape resolve itself?
720p would be fine if it was the display’s native resolution. I have yet to see one that was. They just can’t stop making 768p displays and up-sampling the 720p signal, resulting in a softening (blurring) of the image. They need a 1:1 mode that doesn’t resample the image, even if it does mean there’s a black border around the entire image (for true 720p sources, otherwise go ahead and preserve as much of the 1080i or p signal as you can).
This coming from someone who uses an HP 768p monitor for iPod playback daily. No speakers, but at better than half the price. (But no 1-to-1.)
