HANNspree 28" LCD 1080p 60Hz HDTV, ST285MUB, at Wal-Mart for $169.98, B&M

Temping.....!

I have a feeling these use those TN panels that Hannspree/Hanns-G/I-Inc are famous/infamous for. I'd recommend getting a regular 32" HDTV, even if it's 720p, just to get the LCD panel with wider viewing angles.

Just throwing this out there, but mwave also has the non-basketball version of this, refurb, for $189.99, but if you're buying it primarily as an HDTV and not a part-time monitor, don't even think about it -- buy something else.

Sorry for being not so clear. The screen size is 28".
What I means is the overall dimension (with the edge or frame) is bigger than other 28" LCD TV.

Maybe in a man cave with a sports theme. 3ft basketball is enough to detract from any great deal price wise.

Damn basketball.

great deal on 28" 1920x1200 screen, 2x hdmi.

friggin ugly, doesn't look like it is easily removable from basketball. If I were in the market for a screen I'd consider seeing if I could renovate it (I guess at the very least you could paint it). Also looks like it's fairly heavy (35lb, vs other screens @ 15lb).

I had a 22" hannsG monitor that lasted 4+ years (still going), loved it.

First the pink TV and now this....oh well thanks anyway OP.

Would this be considered 1200p? It feels wrong to call it 1080p when it's 1900x1200...

I are confused about how walmart contradicts itself:

With a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution
True 16:9 aspect ratio

Scroll down a lil...

Image Aspect Ratio: 16:10
Resolution: 1920 x 1200

super ugly

I will probably get it if it's not in the basketball frame...wasted...

(1) Notice cconklin has failed to follow up on his first post in this thread? Makes me wish I could thumbs down a post.

(2) Somewhere,a guy is saying, "I thought it would sell like hotcakes. A TV shaped like a basketball. It was a can't miss idea!"...as he cleans out his desk and plans to visit the unemployment office.

(3) Everybody saying "I would buy this if it wasn't shaped like a basketball:" The reason this thing is so cheap is because it's a shaped LIKE A FRIGGIN' BASKETBALL and they couldn't sell it. If it was just a 28" television, you wouldn't be getting this deal.

Quote from ThatsNotADeal : The reason this thing is so cheap is because it's a shaped LIKE A FRIGGIN' BASKETBALL and they couldn't sell it. If it was just a 28" television, you wouldn't be getting this deal.

I don't think $170 is that cheap for a 28" HDTV when 32" sets can be had for $200. There's a (small) market for this type of set or they wouldn't have made it.

lol that thing is borderline surreal.
