Not the same monitor. The one from Target is the 332H model and the Circuit City one is the 232V model. Almost the same except the 232V has a built in tuner.

Side by side comparison

The Pixelworks Video Processor in the 332H reportedly does SD/DVD better much better than the ATi Exilim processor in the 232V.

I got mine today. The pixels are all good, but there is a bloch of very noticable backlight bleeding at the bottom left area.

Truth be told, they've got so much already, it's hard to figure out what to get them. 🙂

Got it yesterday & I'm glad I purchased it (no dead pixels, no bleeding). Looks good on the desktop, playing a computer game, watching avi files (dvi to hdmi), and playing xbox360. Getting another HD Tivo cable box tomorrow but I watched HD content from my other box in the living room w/ DLP (Monday Night Football) and it looked great. Not much calibration needed, no dead pixels. Also I heard that the 232V ATI chip makes it bad for watching Standard TV or DVD's at the AVSForum... no such problem on the Pixelworks chip with the 332H. It doesn't have a tuner but I use a box for HD. Black Friday is around the corner but this was a good deal.

airjrdn: I feel your pain.

my 2 cents: They are way better off doing something. Take the money and take them on a weekend trip. Or, give them a gift that requires them to do something, build something, create something, or even fix something. That's it!!! Give them a broken tv and tell them they can keep that in their room. Then give them a pile of EE text books. (jk) More seriously, I gave my kids PCs in pieces. We worked together to build it. Yours may be a little yung for that but you may be able to come up with something they want that they may be able to put together themselves, with as little help from you as possible. I buy my daughters furniture from IKEA. She could probably work there as a paid installer at this point.

Good luck.

Thanks for the thoughts jayR, much appreciated. Honestly, all they really want is time w/my wife and I. The toys (sooo many of them) don't hold their interest for very long, but I suspect it's the things we do together that they'll remember. I doubt I'll end up keeping the television, although it is a very good deal. I'd rather pass on the deal and not add to the possibility of them becoming couch potatoes than saving a couple of hundred bucks anyway.

Again though, thanks for the post.
