Pre-Owned LCD-TV

[Hawkeye]

I'm in the market for a pre-owned LCD in excellent cond, under 27 inches. So basically, I'm looking for someone trading up to a larger screen. This is for my mother's bedroom which I recently had wired for DTV-HD.

PM description and price if you have a bargain setting around.

What is an "LCD?" Heck, I might have one if I knew what it was. If I don't, I bet Stratton does.

I saw a Sony at Sam's that was a demo model for under $1000.

Hell, I'm seeing new ones in the $500 range. I think the prices of new ones will drop even more after the super bowl. No, they're not 1080's but it's for my mother's room and most stuff ain't in 1080 anywho.

Make sure Stratton sees your post. He just upgraded a few months ago. Had some good stuff already.

I went ahead and got the 1080 because it would probably be 15 years before I buy another tv.

That's for real. I honestly think the regular channels looked better on my old CRT Sony. And I see a screwing coming on HD rates. PPV movies are already a buck more and it looks like they're setting us up to have to pay a lot more per month to get more HD programing. Can you say "Upgrade"? I'm seeing a lot of tease tactics.

I paid a tad over three hundred for my 25 inch hawk. I will keep an eye out there is always college kids posting there for sale stuff on a billboard we have.

A couple of notes: Generally, standard definition (480i) broadcasts will look better on standard definition sets. HD sets are geared towards HD broadcasts, and the downconversion process isn't as clean as it could be.

One of the reasons HD costs more (including PPV) is because of the increased costs in the storage and distribution of HD content. HD content is 5 times larger than its SD counterpart. This means that additional bandwidth and network space must be acquired. It's an expensive proposition, and it makes sense to pass the buck on to those who will use it.
