Brrcats Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 can you even get something new for that size and price? maybe like a vizio or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Found a Emerson at walmart for 389. 42" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUGT Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I wouldnt be afraid of a cheap offbrand. We bought a 42in "VIORE" plasma in 2006 for $999. Still going strong. For what they run now, the reward outweighs the risk. Good luck on your purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Westinghouse 46" LED LCD TV for $549.99, FYI Westinghouse is made by LG http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Westinghouse+-+46%26%2334%3B+Class+/+LED+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+HDTV/4941332.p;jsessionid=8AAD273E1E4D052DEA309F1B76C4FD17.bbolsp-app01-68?id=1218582222336&skuId=4941332&st=westinghouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Bought a 39" Hisense from HHGregg last week for $299. Did some research before I bought it (I had never heard of Hisense) and it had good reviews. Talked to a couple knowledgeable people and they said it's a good brand, not junk like some of the other off brand stuff (Coby, Cutris, etc). http://www.hhgregg.com/hisense-39-1080p-lcd-hdtv/item/F39V77C ^^^ Thats what I bought. And I think Walmart has a 39" Emerson for $320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 For the off brands, its tough to go wrong but I'd look for the "house" brands like Emerson or Westinghouse that are basically less high tech LGs If you want a newer one with a brand name, my friends and I have been very loyal to Vizio and Samsung with no faults.

Mensan Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 For what I use on a daily basis, I will never buy anything other than Samsung. The quality and viewing is top notch. No complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 For what I use on a daily basis, I will never buy anything other than Samsung. The quality and viewing is top notch. No complaints. Samsung does make a great tv. That being said, keep an eye on http://slickdeals.net/ until the right deal pops up. Or wait until the pre-Christmas price wars begin.

SpaceGhost Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 For what I use on a daily basis, I will never buy anything other than Samsung. The quality and viewing is top notch. No complaints. Yeah I agree, got 2, 51" Plasma Samsung 3D Smart TV (built in WiFi) came with 2 pair of glasses each for 849 a piece to put in the new house. I thought that was a good price. Great picture, light weight, they were easy to mount. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/19/sy4ude3y.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
