Got a good deal on a lcd tv.

[AquaShrimp]

Went to best buy this morning looking at tvs.  Found a 42" 1080p LCD with 2000:1 contrast ratio and 1920x1080 resolution for $899.  Its called a "Dynex".  Just what I was looking for.  You can barely get a true HD 37 inch lcd for that price.  It has a 1 year warranty too.

Olevia has the option to buy a 4 year parts and labor warranty with in-house service.  I don't know if Best Buy does the same.

My samsung came with an option for 3 year warranty for just $200 extra out of $1500.  It still works with the tiny exception of a subtle dark spot near the right side of the screen.  So far, no pixels have malfunctioned, the backlight still works and no black lines or loss of picture have occured.

My sharp TV has been repaired twice under warranty in the first year.  It had a 1 year warranty.  It was $200 cheaper than my samsung and they both had same performance specs and size.

I would buy an Olevia over the Dynex regardless of the higher resolution.  The PC resolution may not be 1920x1080, but a lower resolution due to the physical input not capable of handling the higher resolution even though the screen could.  You'll want to call their tech support to verify max PC resolution input if this feature is important to you.

But I would buy a Samsung over anything.  They are a Korean company.  Glad we helped them in the 50's.

your money will pay an american regardless of what brand you buy. or where it was made. if it's made overseas, then it'll keep dockworkers employed, along with truck drivers.

just out of curiosity, what do you drive? car, or cycle? willing to bet unless it's a toyota or honda, it wasn't made here

I have a GMC.  Maryland assembly plant.  I have a Pennsylvanian 1983 VW Rabbit GTI, ...purchased before I started wondering where my money went once I spent it.  I have a 1947 ACF Brill bus converted to a motorhome.

If I buy an American made TV some $ will still go overseas to pay for foreign made parts, but not as much as if I bought all the parts overseas, and paid an overseas assembler to build it for me.

Olevias are not built in my hometown, so I will pay a truck driver to bring it to me regardless.

As for the American dockworker, he can go work at the Olevia plant.

Just for informations sake Honda is Japanese.  It is not made here.  Unless that sentence is meant in another way. Not trying to be mean.

Honda and Toyota and BMW (in SC i think) have American assy lines.

Well ok, I just meant the roots of Honda.  The original place or origin.  Didn't know they were made in SC.  I learn everyday

This thread is about an entirely optional purchase...  isn't it?  I mean we may want one, but we really don't need it I mean really.

We could all save a grand by watching American Idol on the old CRT TV now couldn't we?
