elena_398 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 The 52"tv is part of the secret 8 items Walmart will have. They will show the items only online on Walmart.com on Thanksgiving. Keep checking the site tomorrow
angela8282 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Posted November 23, 2006 thank you for the quick response! Is this a namebrand tv? i mentioned the deal to my husband and he is like" for that cheap it has to be junk" I disagree
webles Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I was just at one of the local wal-marts, and the 52" TV's were lined up in the electronics dept. The clerk said they only had 10 available. She said they were going for $454. And only on Friday. Not bad for a tv with a built in HD Tuner.
laffnatu Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 ! Is this a namebrand tv? i mentioned the deal to my husband and he is like" for that cheap it has to be junk" I disagree I believe it's an RCA. Not positive though.
tikidave Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Has anybody seen the RCA 52" projection TV that is selling in the $490 range in any of the ads. I saw it once in a flash ad on tv & the Walmart clerk at my local confirms it. Can't find it anywhere else though.... thanks! Tiki http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4872141
nickysmom Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 WE have this tv have had it almost two years and it is a great tv. However my husband if feeling a little sick over the fact we spent a good deal more than $474 for it actually right after we bought ours they dropepd the price down to $997. So it is not JUNK!
nindy8 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 here is the tv... go to walmart and paste this in the search box RCA 52" Widescreen Projection HDTV w/ Built-In Digital Tuner, R52WH74 to the best of my knowledge that is the one
fuzzylogic Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 It's the RCA model that's normally $897. If you buy it, be sure to get the extended warranty... you'll need it! It's the most returned projection TV we have at my store.

tbsomerset Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Has this been confirmed? I dont see it mentioned on the Walmart site...and is this for ALL stores nationwide?

morosea Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Because in Wisconsin it is illegal to sell items in below cost, the prices for almost all blitz items are higher. The RCA TV is $699.97 on Friday in Wisconsin. I don't know about the other states where prices aren't valid - but it's probably the same.
lancejenn Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I just called my walmart and confirmed the price at 474.00 but guess what they only have 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the first three back there get it i was really hoping to get one but who knows how that will go why only 3?
CocheseUGA Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Do yourself a favor, spend $100 more, and get the 32" LCD. From what I understand on other boards, this does not support 720p. So, owners of the PS3 would be eating it right now.
MichelleWoohoo Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Yes, definitely do not buy RCA. Folks, there's a reason why it's so cheap.
figueroa4 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 One question, when it says "RCA® 52" Widescreen Projection HDTV: Minimum 3 per store." wouldn't that mean that they would have ATLEAST 3 & maybe more, or does it mean they will ONLY have 3? Also I have read quite a few reviews on this tv on multiple sites. It seems that everyone who is happy with it has had it atleast 2 years. Everyone who is having problems with it has bought it more recently. Maybe something changed in production?? I think we are probably going to pass on it. Shame too, our big screen just went out a few weeks ago and this would have been great since it's about all we can afford with christmas here.
hmeshow Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 My Husband and I just bought a 51 inch from Best Buy for $699. We were just kicking ourselves for not getting this one and were thinking about canceling the BB order and getting this one. I am thinking that we will stick with the other one as their are a lot of various opinions.

emptynest-2 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 As I said in the other thread. As an owner of an electronics repair shop--that used to do warranty work for RCA--I would not recommend buying this set.
tbsomerset Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Well would buying this TV with the 3 year warranty of $45, which states it covers tubes, totaling $519 make sense then? Cant see if the warranty requires you to bring the 160lb TV to Walmart or repairs are covered to occur onsite. Seems the picture quality is good and can handle 1080 along with the proper inputs/outputs. The main concerns I see are blown bulbs occuring early. Anyone's thoughts?
laffnatu Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Well there was definitely some upset people at my Walmart this morning. The employees had no idea where the 52" tv would be. They finally told us to go to dairy and there's a table there, they would give out tickets. I get in line at 3:30am and I'm #8 in line. There are 2 people there who have been there since 8 pm. At 4:45am the guy comes over to the table with a stack of tickets. He informs us that he only has the tickets for the 20" lcd and the 20" tv for $69. He says the other tvs will be in electronics. I asked him how many of the 52" he had.. he said 8. $%&%^%$##@$!@@@@ Well everyone else hauled ass to electronics and I ended up being #1 in line for the 20" tvs. But I didn't want either of the tvs offered so I left. I wasn't after the tv for myself. We planned on picking it up for my brother but he didn't know we were doing it. So technically I'm not out of anything, it just bugs me that I could have been scoping the rest of the store instead of standing in line for nothing. I just hope the guys who had been there since 8pm got their tvs.
elena_398 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Our store got in 8. I was in Walmart at midnight (never went to bed). All eight were on skids as soon as you walk into the store. ALL 52" tvs were spoken for. No tickets, just had to claim one and not leave it. I was told all 52" tvs were claimed by 9pm.

Anyone's thoughts?The warranty doesn't do you a lot of good, when RCA doesn't have the parts to send to the repair shops. and NO repairs are not covered in your home, they will have to taken in to the repair shop.
cmanningjr Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 There were 3 at our local store. 2 went to employee's that were in line since 8:00pm the night before. Seems like they knew were to go while everyone else wandered around trying to figure out what to do. Congradulations to whoever got this deal! I wasn't one of them..
Kerryd Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Please... please tell me where you found this Model number. I purchased this tv 12 days ago for almost $900.00 and I went to Walmart at 5:00 am this morning with my receipt to ask for a credit for the difference in today's sale price. According to the manager, todays sale tv is a different model number. The one's they had for sale were already gone so I couldn't see for myself. Did you see this model number advertised?? Please help! Thanks.
