My buddy just picked one of these up last night. He added a 2-year warranty, and with the California recycle tax and sales tax it came out to $620 out the door. It was hooked up to the lan PC first and we played red alert 3 on it for a bit as well as bioshock... everything looked awesome. There is a little ghosting on the FPS, but were sitting way to close to it really... if we were about 5 feet away, you wouldnt be able to tell. PS3 looked even better with SF4.... blue ray(300) also looked very good. The speakers surprisingly sound pretty decent. If you need a TV, you can't loose with this set IMO.

There's a sucker born every minute, so they say.

About 6 months ago BB had the 32 inch version of this for $299 so I snagged 2 of them

Edit: 720p but I like mine!

1080p 32"? Sheesh, I would have snagged one.

 

[ctcsoft]

isn't Dynex horrible though? I've had very bad luck with their products.

I would rather spend $50 more and get atleast a vizio or something a little better.

 

[Macgyversite]

Yeah like whats the durability of these things. Anyone?

 

[voodoojc]

I wanted to see the quality of the TV in the store, but they didn't have any on display. I only saw the smaller Dynex TVs on display and was afraid they would be cheaply made too, but when I opened the box I was pleasantly surprised that the quality is at least a step higher the their smaller models. I figured I have 30 days to return it if it sucks.

Dynex is comparable to vizio for the most part. If you want something better get a samsung or a panasonic plasma. FYI sears has a 1080P 42 panny for 699 this week.

Frys.com has the LG 42LH40 for $599 + free shipping.

I will try and remember to take a couple of pictures of the setup we use at work as a welcome board. One of the VP's has this LCD as a second monitor for meetings and as a TV.

I love that they turned the Geek squad into their service dept. Now the geek squad also warranties dishwashers, microwaves, and vacuum cleaners lmao. Leave it upto corp management to destroy a brand name.

Here's to hoping this gets discounted on Black Friday.

 

[dakels]

I got this TV almost a year ago
As I said in a Previous post, it's a great TV for the money. It has always been a low end cost model but the quality was comparable if not better in my experience to the other low to mid range TVs. I use this every day from normal HD cable, to Blueray, to HDMI from both my PC and wife's laptop. It works great. At this price I am looking to buy a 2nd one for the spare bedroom.

 

[iLEktron]

$550 now,

...waiting for BF, these things will go for $400 a piece

 

[ivwshane]

Can anyone comment on the viewing angle quality? I'm looking for something with great viewing angles (specifically horizontal) but it needs to be cheap since I will most likely be dismantling it for a project

 

[funboy6942]

I have had mine for 1 year next month, it gets used EVERY NIGHT between 7pm and shuts down at around 12, since I bought it. Picture looks amazing at 9+ feet. Lots of inputs, sound is not to bad but I run a sub and some cheap logitecH $15 side speakers. I run a pc through it along with sat, and has been flawless for me this whole time of ownership. I paid $100 then it is now for it, and for the most part all LCD tv's are made from one of like 3 places that build them and slap a brand name on it, and change the case around. But with HD sat or movies, or even games for that matter for I have it set up to do it all in my bedroom, and if I had the funds Id buy like 3 more to replace the rest of my old CRT stuff. Id kill to run one of these as a main pc screen for my work area here.

But 42" 1080P for $5 bills what could you really be expecting? A 80" Samsung perhaps for that money? IMO its worth the 5 bills and more

 

[breweyez]

Funboy....The part where you said "I paid $100 then it is now for it," .....that prob means you paid $600, and it is now $500.

I think your review may have convinced me to buy this for my folks. I will look for it to drop back to $500.

 

[Steve]

Yeah, I think "I paid $100 then it is now" should be "I paid $100 more than it is now".

 

[ericlp]

Well, really... it should be 50 bucks since it's 550 bucks now. So basically your getting the TV for what he paid for it - the tax unless you live in Oregon.

Just wait till it's 399 on black friday.
