    The insignia ones are usually rebranded lower-end models from LG, samsung etc. I don't know how they got it to 600Hz though.

    Looks to me like they are finally selling these pieces of crap at the price they should have been all along.

    You're better off going over to Sam's Club and picking up the 32" Vizio they have on sale this weekend for 40 bucks more. It's a CR best buy, and a damn decent tv.

    For $50 more (or maybe even $0), you could easily get something better from a major name brand. Just check out any of the daily #dealzmodo articles.

    TVs like this make a great gift for the tech impared loved ones who still haven't caught up with the times.

    Last Christmas I purchased a super cheap, off-brand, 42 inch 1080p LCD for my mother to replace her 15 year old 25 inch crtTV. I felt bad for buying her a cheap TV, but to her, I'm was her hero. Now, if only I could get her to watch better shows...

    For the love of Christ, don't buy this thing. Seriously. They get returned as defective more than any other brand Best Buy sells. They are NOT made by LG, any Best Buy employee with access to the inventory system can pull up the manufacturer. Do yourself a favor and wait one week to catch a killer deal on a name brand.

    I picked up a 42" LCD 1080p Dynex from BestBuy off a Dealzmodo a few weeks ago. I think it looks great.

    @Dr. Evil Genius: The built in speakers are horrendous. But it's got an optical out. I hook that up to my receiver and it works perfect.

    Has a VGA in - works great for hooking my MacBookPro.

    @bornonbord: I circumvented the whole expensive 1080P process by buying a 24" Acer monitor for $250 after taxes (I live in NYC).

    Plug a few things into it and it more than does the job.

    That said, it will be replaced by a 52" XBR9 in the next 6-8 weeks.

    In reply to Sprint's HTC Hero Takes Inevitable Price Dip to $100
    I've been with Sprint for awhile (out of contract now, so I'm supposed to get a discount...)

    Is the Best Buy deal restricted to new contracts or does it include renewals? And if I got the phone via Best Buy, is it still possible to get a plan using Sprint Employee Referral or other such voodoo? #htchero

    I believe BB can't do employee referral accounts. You could always sign up with them and then change your plan- but that may be more work than it's worth. #htchero

    @mawcs: Oh, bravo, Merriam-Webster. Because everyone knows that there is no such thing as fine print, exceptions, or ways to negotiate anything from corporate reps ever, and that all questions and disputes are always solved by a single screenshot of an offer, rather than contracts or paperwork of any sort. Bravo. #htchero

    You asked a question, I answered. Sorry you don't like the answer; but if you felt that "negotiating" might get you the same deal, you might have said that in your original comment and save me the effort of being a smart-ass. #htchero
