My HDTV

In my quest for all things tech, I made a serious purchase a few weeks ago. My friend and I were talking about HDTVs and he mentioned he got a good deal for one on ebay. Usually skeptical of purchasing things on ebay, I decided it can’t hurt to look. I searched for the same thing my friend got, a 32″ LCD HDTV. To my surprise I came across this TV. The maximum bid was $225 with 6 minutes left and being sure there was no way I was going to win it, I placed a max bid of $300. As you might have seen, the winning bid was me at $275.

I’ve got to say while I’m not usually one to do things like this, I am very happy with the TV. It was listed as defective for fuzzy lines at times, but I have seen no problem with it. And while I don’t have HDTV cable service, playing Xbox 360 on it has been incredible. The picture quality and color range is much better. I can see every movement and detail. The gaming experience is much better over all. I was also very happy to see the multitude of A/V connections on the back, including support for a monitor. As we speak, I am using my TV as a dual monitor for my laptop, and can watch TV shows and YouTube videos in full screen on the TV. You would think the large screen would skew the picture, but it does not. It looks just as good, and at a much bigger size.

Finally, the price was a steal. Here is the same TV on sale at WalMart for $598. I basically paid half price for it. The sellers also offer a 3 year warranty for an extra $40, which I took. The grand total price I paid after shipping was $366. Kudos to Webs Best Deals for the offer and great service. I could not be happier with the TV, even if I might be spending some more money soon for accessories; like an HD-DVD player, for instance.
