POS? http://www.markrushford.net/2008/05/23/seriously-whats-the-catch-pos/ http://www.markrushford.net/2008/05/23/seriously-whats-the-catch-pos/#comments Sat, 24 May 2008 05:27:12 +0000 Mark Rushford http://www.markrushford.net/?p=15 278742.jpg

Because I’m pretty heavily involved with direct/email advertising campaigns at my day job, I have a gmail account set up specifically to receive various emails from retailers, companies, etc.

I just happened to get this from Costco…

Philips 42″ 1080p LCD HDTV
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Dynamic screen contrast: 29000:1
Brightness: 500 cd/m²

$999.99

What’s the catch here? The specs look fine. I’m not completely sold on Philips as a brand over, say, Sony, Sharp, Samsung or even LG… but at under a grand for a 42″ LCD? Fuck it, that’s like a perfect second set for the bedroom or something if you had room.

Tya and I were just talking about how nice it would be to have a TV in the bedroom now that we have a nice huge bed to be lazy in… :P

Probably more like 8 and out with the remaining five episodes on the 13 episode guarantee being nice offered only on the inevitable “Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, the Complete Series” DVD set.
I hope I’m wrong.
