    I If you want a cheap secondary TV like I did then they are fine. I have one in my room and it works pretty well for the occasional late night tv viewing or gaming session. Speakers are a little weak, but other than that for the price they are ok. The housing is also nice to look at...not as gaudy or flashy as the Vizio or cheap looking as a Westinghouse.

    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.

    Another obvious use for this would be to track not just kids...

    Drop this in a purse... hide it in a jacket... attach it to any car...

    The possibilities are endless. #littlebuddy

    I'm most likely gonna get raged at when I post this, but why don't we just use those same gps chips that we put in our dogs, and just put them in our children.. it's been argued that it's inhumane, but I'd rather my child be safe than be sorry afterward. #littlebuddy

    @kqboing1: What "GPS" chips? You mean the RFID chips which require a special reader to retrieve the code stored onboard, which is then cross refrenced with a list of registered users? #littlebuddy

    The stoopid thing about all these GPS tracking tools and apps (iStoopid included) is that GPS requires a view of the sky?!? So, if you'r kid is jammed in that back of some predators van, this thing ain't helpin' anyone. #littlebuddy
