Hot? Cold? Advent 27 inch flat screen HDTV monitor, $499

[rile0161]

I don't know if this is a good deal or not....Best Buy (both B&M and .com) has a 27 inch flat screen HDTV monitor for $499. It's an advent though, I'm not sure of the quality or if they are worthwhile or not. If anyone has any opinions, please feel free to state them.

Some cheap company in China bought the Advent name and is slapping it on crappy products. I saw some of these units at BB and compared them to a decent quality product and found it greatly lacking.

best deal for a nice 27 is samsungs EDTV line you can get thier 27 for 450-500 its a 480p tv but it you go to www.avsforum.com they have instruction to get into the service menu to enable 1080i. which gives it the same features as thier HDTV equivelent

I saw some of these units also at BB, I had some Advent speakers years ago good quality, I thought maybe they were made by the same company, wrong, this looked worse then the cheap Apex TVs.
