46" Widescreen LCD HDTV $989.00

Can't beat this deal on a 46inch lcd, even if it's refurb! http://ecost.com/detail.aspx?edp=37278057

2 things, where does it specify refurbished? and why wouldn't you put that in the title?

I have the w4207, I like it. but this thing is 46" and integrated HD tuner. Very tempting.

Edit:

Ah I see the REF in the part number.

46" and 720P... that isn't too great.

Either tell us about all the 46" LCDs we can get for a better price or just move on.

Um, it does 1080i too. How is it not that great?

No, it emulates 1080i, to "do" 1080i resolution has to be higher than 1366x768. otherwise, my old '99 4:3 memorex $20 TV does 1080P.

I apologize for thread crapping, but I had to answer the question.

Doesn't seem to be worth the potential hassle.

Dont quite know what your talking about but this TV does everything including 1080i, Theres no emulation involved, It meets all HD standards. Only thing it doesn't do is 1080p. Which if your not getting an HD-DVD or Blueray player or not hooking your PC up to it this monitor will do you just fine. 1080P monitors are a must in my opinion if you plan on using it as a PC monitor.

Agreed - no 1080p isn't a big deal unless you want to view as a PC monitor (I'm enjoying my 1920x1080 32" Sharp) ... but even then, 1368 x 768 on a 46" screen is easy to read, easy to see, and *still* gives you a nice picture --- and it's not as if it's not big enough for web browsing or similar.

I'm honestly considering this. $1110 delivered for 46" with QAM tuner (I won't buy a TV without....) rocks.

agreed. horrible ratings are the last thing you want to worry about when buying a long term purchase like this.

In case someone considers this - 90 day warranty. For me, this is a fatal flaw.
