Apex 40" 1080p LCD - $349

[mazeroth]

Ripped from Fatwallet.

To think you can get a 40" 1080p television for 3 and a half Benji's is just absurd.

Has tons of inputs too

This is pretty hot but only a 60Hz HDTV... I have a 120Hz and not sure I could use to a 60Hz. It still is a good deal.

But it's an Apex.....

Beware of Apex, I have had nothing but bad luck with their products.

I believe it's supposedly 1 year...

except for the FACT that Apex is currently under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy...

Back in 2004 I had purchased a Apex rear projection tv, it died the same day. It took Apex over 6 months to get it repaired. Very poor quality and service. I even have less of an opinion of their throw away dvd players, had two and they lasted 6 and 12 months each.

Good deal. Given the reputation of Apex, it may be reasonable to get a 2 year extended warranty for $35 http://www.walmart.com/ip/2-Year-Ext...499.99/4100418
Still a cheap deal after that addition.

I've had multiple family members using the $20-$30 DVD players for probably 5 years without issue. Maybe its just very hit or miss?

I have a 3 DVD disc player that still runs...though not intensively.

i dont know, i think lcd prices have finally reached the old days of crt tv's in their prime.

back in the 80/90's, most of your 25" tubes went for about $250 and on up to the 50" projections that were $1000+.

now you can get most 32" lcd (widescreen, not much different then a 25" square) tv's for $300 and up to 52"+ for $1k and on up.

and even if it is still more costly to make an lcd tv compared to a crt, the savings you get in storage and shipping space is enormous.

Energy efficiency is up too, right? Compared to a tube/CRT so thats good.
