Trish1298 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I think no layaway will hurt there sales a little for Black Friday.
bluehutto Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I bought one two years ago and have had no problem with it.
hpowers Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I bought 3 of the 20in dvd combo's last year. 2 where for other people but I think they are still working. The one I gave my son, the sound went out on it a few months ago so I took it back. They gave me my money back so I upgraded and bought him one of the LCD screens with the dvd combo. If Wal-Mart didn't have such a good return policy, I wouldn't have bought from them. I guess you could pay more elsewhere and when you have problems with it, your stuck with it.
dilligaf Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Analog TV will be dirt cheap because will soon be going digital signal and than they won't be able to give away the old analog ones. if you still have an analog when signal changes to digital will need a converter box. Happy BF shopping and don't get run over. Crazy!!If you have digital cable or satellite, you will have the converter box. No digital signal will come in straight to the TV. They will need a tuner. All of the tuners I have seen so far have outputs for both HDTV and TV. Analog TVs will work long after analog signals stop transmitting.

I think that is a more recent change to their policy.

They also have a very good 2 year service plan on high definition sets for only $58 too. That's why I shy away from ordering online. I want to have a store nearby where I can return the set if something goes wrong with it.

It's a fine television for the price, it still works perfectly well.
fuzzylogic Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 May or may not be for black friday, but our purchase report lists 32" LCD HDTV's from Samsung and Emerson. The Samsung is probably going to be a normal item, but the Emerson had a price of about $700 or so and is likely to be a special feature of some sort. I'll need to look at the report again for the event code, model, and price.

Happy BF shopping and don't get run over. Crazy!!Analog TV will still work great with satellite since it's not using the TV's tuner!
kathywathy35 Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 My sister is a manager at Wal-Mart and yes they are having blitz this year. Only thing I have heard is there are going to be some really good deals on lap-tops in the coming weeks and blitz.
Reisch Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 I'm looking for a 37" LCD HDTV...maybe WM can need my needs this BF.
buckwheat_jegc Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I think they'll realize after they lose a big profit from the loss sales that the layaway generates annually and rethink it for next year.
pogiporkchop Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I'm looking for a 37" LCD HDTV...maybe WM can need my needs this BF. If WM can't then BB sure can. I posted some possible numbers that I found on another site this morning... check the rumored sale thread in BB forum
Reisch Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 If WM can't then BB sure can. I posted some possible numbers that I found on another site this morning... check the rumored sale thread in BB forum Excellent news! Hopefully they will be good models not cheap knock-offs like Ilo!
pogiporkchop Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 The link to the article that the numbers came from is www.twice.com/article/CA6383869.html(I got the numbers first from another BF site first and posted them just as I found them.) As I just posted in the other forum the article uses "top tier (1-2)" and "major brand". It's a very interesting read not only for the possible price points but also for the likely marketing strategy.
amyers12345 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I agree with ya...We got a 20" Symphonic 5 years ago for my son (then 2). The entertainment center collapsed, and it has been knocked over and beaten up on for 5 years and is still running strong. It is a little outdated, no a/v inputs, which is too many plugs w/ xbox and gamecube, so we'll definitely buy another this year. And I don't know how they're handled any differently. Like I stated in earlier posts, our walmart hands out tickets, then you pay, and drive around to lawn and garden and it gets loaded for you, so no BF damage.
bigdogofftheporch Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 I Go A 15" Polaroid Flm1511 L.c.d. Tv Last Bf At Walmart They Only Lasted 5 Min They Were Fighting Because Two Old Ladys Both Had 5 Each They Only Had 2 Doz So They Should Limit It To Two
MandaJo111 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 I am curious to see what TV's they offer this year. I want a smaller one for my son. Something under 100 is fine. They have 20 in ones around $100 right now, but I am curious to see what BF deals they will offer.
MandaJo111 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Oh, I forgot to add that I bought a symphonic around 1993 or 1994. It finally went out on me a few months ago. I never had any problems with it. And honestly I think the only reason it died was due to a move. Also note this TV has been though half a dozen moves over the past 13 years.
Cheryll Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Hope ur right "EliteaBomb" about the 32"-stay tuned.
oscar1961 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 HDTV... 30" LCD... $588.... hope so thanks for the post
Deal Grabber Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I know this may be a dumb question but can any one tell me how to measure for the size of a tv.Is it corner to corner of the screen.i want to get my kids a new tv for christmas and i want bigger than they have now.But im nt sure what size they have.Thanks.
g-man430 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Correct. It is from one corner of the screen to the other.
kiwibearkiss Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 to tell you the truth what they will lose at black friday will actually be less then what they lose with layaway. that is why most stores have quite having it. if you knew how mucha big lose it is. for example. they might lose a million not having it but with layawy they lose 2 to 3 million. thats per store and per month. so in teh end to them its cheaper hust to stop having it. if it wasnt for I was a store manager(different store) and I had to cancell lay aways every month and I tell you its a huge lose and we were a small store and we were losing millions. it eventually took the store under. they wanted to keep it for the people but the lose was so bad. it took the store out of business. so I can understand how they feel. and why. true I still want layaway its the only way I can get stuff at times.
Deal Grabber Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Correct. It is from one corner of the screen to the other.Thanks.They have a 19 inch.No wonder my son complains.(LOL).I guess i'll have to go for the 22 inch.Come on BF Flat screen..Make me :yelclap: :gdclap: happy
beckster321 Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 I need a good deal on a approx. 20" LCD TV. Any inside scoops?
dissident Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Well wal mart has got large numbers of 37 inch emerson lcd hdtvs in recently and they are made by Funai... right now they are $898 in store... do you think they could drop to $799 on black friday? Can't beat that... get the warranty for $58, and you can go right to funai's website to find local authorized service centers just in case something happens. That's one reason I'm hesitant to get the westinghouse from BB.. I want a 37 inch and my senses tell me that this television is a blitz item.. (the emerson)
angel-too Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I got the 15" Panosonic LCD last BF. I think that morning they took the price down form $188 to $168?? Well, this past july, it started showing a pink and red "combing" action across the screen and then down. I thought it was shot but didn't discard it. Hubby replaced it with a 27" YAY! One day I plugged it in the master bath (no cable hookup) and it works! so there it stays!
jewleyp Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 I need a good deal on a approx. 20" LCD TV. Any inside scoops?Meeeeee Tooooooo... I want one for ME to put in MY bedroom !!! Last year was Batman TVs, Disney Princess TVs, new LR TV. I rearranged my bedroom and watched the TV roll off the bed I have served my time !!
