Fry's 26' HDTV Monitor LCD TV on Sale $499

[Carazariah]

My local (Austin) Fry's B&M has an ad for an unnamed brand 26' HDTV Monitor LCD TV for $499. This seems like a good deal if its a decent brand with good specs.

 

The only other thing they have about it is that it is 1080i and 720p compatible.

 

Seems like a good deal to me. . .

What a great price, I just wish it had HDMI

[ams_chris]

Yeah i agree with ya. HDMI would have been nice. i was able to get the 27" higher model during black friday and the picture is great with just standard cable. Ill be upgrading to the HD reciever nextweek.

Brightness 750cd (700cd)

Contrast 1000:1 (750:1)

Pixel Resolution 1366 x 768 (1280 x 720)

[RossMAN]

Thanks for the info.

 

That 27" would have made a nice 'computer room' TV but I'd have to pay for a cable HD box unless I went OTA.

 

Oh well I guess I'll pass on this unless the 27" drops to $499 anytime soon.

I saw this exact same model at Office Depot on display and it looked really nice. It was hooked up to a DVD player though so I dunno what it looks like with SD or HD tv hooked up.

 

I am really really tempted to buy this right now, but I just spent a lot of money on my laptop (a lot for me, a college student) and XMAS is coming up. Anyone see the price of LCD TVs around 26"-32" coming down in price this upcoming year?

[i-bystander]

That's a great price for the set. I've been keeping an eye on Fry's prices for a while now, and I was seriously contemplating about jumping on one of these... that is, until I got the 27" for $499AR on BF. It's usually up on outpost.com as well, but right now it's showing up at $799.

 

Oh, and Ross? You don't need an HD box for this set (if you're not picky) - SD works just fine.

Damn you Ray, you're supposed to talk me out of buying this

 

I'll have to see what Fry's return policy is, I just might give this a try.
