Honeywell 42" LED HDTV 120Hz, $339.99AC or less shipped at TD

Quote from boho : Ok got the TV and set it up. Manual says it is 29.8 lbs without base. You need M6 screws, I got M6 - 1.00 x 25 screws from Lowes fit perfect, do not go any longer then that. Energy guide is $24 per year based on 11 cents/kw. First impressions is very positive, great picture, the TV is actually pretty thin, I was afraid it will be 5-6 inches thick but it is 1.5 inches without stand. I did not adjust anything yet just hang it on the wall and watching whatever Blue ray movie we had. So far I think good deal IMHO. Anyway to tell what brand of screen used in it without disassembling it?

so glad to hear this. where do you live btw? seems like you got 2 day shipping!

Also, what kind of tv wall mount do you use? can you post a link?

I live in VA and it was shipped from GA by ground service. I got my wall mount couple years ago, I do not think it matters as long as it is VESA 200X200 compatible.

Ohh cool. Does it matter if you get the mount for a smaller tv even though its max weight capacity is 2x the weight of the tv? I want to buy the 20-39" mount from Walmart that has good reviews... And I have no experience whatsoever ever..

My wall mount is for 26-36 inch TVs according to the manual. It is holding 42 inch TV just fine. I got it for FAR couple years ago: link [amazon.com]. It is already attached to the wall, did not want to fool around with another wall mount and drilling the wall. This TV is only 30 lbs should be fine.

Just wanted to get back with TV update. I have 2 news one bad and one good.

Good one is this TV comes with 2 year warranty. Included Limited warranty card says "Sonitronix (apparently they license Honeywell Avanza name) warrants this unit against defects in material and workmanship for period of 2 years for in home use and 90 days for commercial use"

The other thing is then I was looking at the TV from the side I noticed it was a little curved, I put a straight edge against the screen itself and in the middle I have 1/8 th of inch gap. I do not know if the structure of the TV cannot handle the weight of the panel and the sides just flex down a little. The screen is a little bit curved.

I never had thin LED Tv before so is it usual for big screen TV's sides to curve a little due to weight and gravity, I have TV tilted down a little. It does not affect the pic quality but I am afraid if one day it will be too much and LCD will crack. Is there some tolerance for flex on LCD panels?

Is there some LCD specific forum I can ask that?

Thanks

Thinking about pulling the trigger on this TV before it is gone. For those that have received their TV, does this model have a universal remote code so I can use my Dish remote to control it? Reviews of another similar Honeywell model on HSN say it doesn't have a universal remote code.

Thx

Isn't the 1/8 inch gap thing a "workmanship defect"? I think you can ask in AVSforums..

Can you also take a picture and post it here so we maybe able to understand more what's going on..

So this is the true product page of the TV:

http://honeywellce.com/index.php?...cts_id=346

Apparently it is an LCD/LED tv. It didn't even say if it was edge-lit or something. Now I am thinking that we got all screwed by shady marketing. Also, it says it is 120MotionPLUS. what does that mean? Is it the same as the samsung clearmotion 120 which is actually 60Hz? Deyyym..... and we can't return this tv unless its defective..

not sure what you don't understand

Panel Type: TFT LCD (FULL HD)
Size: 42 inches (measured diagonally)
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Frame Interpolation: 120Hz

Quote from bud914 : not sure what you don't understand Panel Type: TFT LCD (FULL HD) Size: 42 inches (measured diagonally) Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Frame Interpolation: 120Hz

I just find the interpolation being a gray area. Is it the same as 120Hz refresh rate?

I was just thinking, it shouldn't matter whether you have it hanged thru the wall or the TV stand unless the TV stand is attached directly to the panel. The same gravitational force should be present when using the TV stand. So maybe you got a unit that has already curved panel or screen? I am going to check my unit once it arrives..

QC is not their strong point.

The Energy Guide sticker is stuck so that some of it is wedged in-between the screen and bezel. Now I have small bits of paper sticking out.

My unit also arrived with a chipped corner. The package came undamaged.

Who should I complain to first?

Hooked up to my DirecTV HD Receiver. The good news is that the TV's OSD says it's 1080i resolution; the bad news is that the TV's OSD says it's at 60Hz.

I think we can do google store complain. It had that when I was buying it at TD. Are you sure that 1080i is not because of your source and not the TV. not very familiar on the topic too..
