40" Sceptre 1080p LCD HDTV (X408BV-FHD) $280 + Free shipping

Quote from New_World : i would spend a little more and get a LG or samsung 43" plasma for around $400. better picture bar none.

Any recommendations?

I'm in NJ so this is still not a better deal than Walmart once you take into account taxes and potential return shipping fees

need a sweet deal for a sound bar and i'll be all over this!

Would this work well as a PC monitor??? I don't care about it being so big and only 1080p as it is not for one big picture, but for say 3 side by side windows, and 3 smaller side by side windows up top (one for TV feed).

Quote from IllinoisDeals : I bought the 40" X405BV-FHD3 from Walmart. A few days later it would not turn on. No red or blue power lights on the TV. Took it back to Walmart. Some reviews that were negative said the TV broke after a few years and they gave it a one star review. If this TV lasted 2 - 3 years for $300 it is definately worth it and should be given 5 stars just for that. But yeah, mine died a few days after using it.

Do not buy this TV. Purchased from Walmart and returned it in a few days later.
Pro: Cheap price.
Con: You get a big headache for everything.

Very informative review!

So don't buy this tv? So which one

I bought this TV about 4 months ago when it was on sale for $300 at Walmart. I purchased it as a cheap bedroom TV. Hooked up to my PS3 it looks great when streaming Netflix, playing games, etc. When it comes to regular cable (not HD) it looks pretty shoddy close up. I've seen a lot of people complain about the sound quality, but I haven't had any issues, possibly because I'm so close to it I don't need to turn the volume up much. Overall I'd say it is a decent TV for the price if you're looking for something on the cheap.

I got this from newegg a couple of weeks ago for a bedroom TV. The sound is nothing to write home about, but it's very usable. The default color settings were terrible, but after some drastic adjustments I'm quite happy with it, especially for the price.

If you are planning to upgrade the sound, be aware that it doesn't have optical audio out.

didn't buy but repped for effort! reps for all!!

I recently bought this from newegg. It came pretty beat up and would not turn on (or display the standby light). I contacted them about an RMA and initially wanted me to fork over $50 to pay for return shipping. I contacted customer service and told them about the condition of the box. I went back and forth three or four times and had to e-mail pictures to the representative. Eventually they offered to pay return shipping. Honestly, I did not expect this sort of trouble with newegg. It would have been easier to return it to Walmart.

The TV itself is pretty chunky and the base felt pretty cheap. I was surprised to see that the base does swivel though. I did not have a chance to see the TV in action so I won't talk about the Quality of the panel or audio. I think the reviews here and on newegg speak for that.

I know you have to pay tax at Walmart and lug it home, but it might be the better option if you are opposed to playing email tag with newegg support.

If you do buy the TV I hope you enjoy it!

This LCD is a total POS that sells for $280 just about every other week at Newegg. If you like junk then knock yourself out

I forgot to mention this as well. My TV (the 42" version) and apparently most others came with "Energy Saver" as the default picture setting. If you change it to "Vivid" like I did, or manually adjust each setting, then the screen will look much better than right out of the box.
