[JoPh]

Apex AT2702 27" television for $180 online and in-store. From CC i saw the deal on hotdealsclub and i was wondering if it a good buy.


feedback please.

People say Apex TV's suck, my friend has the 27" model for $150 during Black Friday and his picture and TV looks great and he's never said anything bad about it.

Quite honestly, I very much doubt it's a good TV. If it's a good buy depends on your preferences and what you think makes a good TV. I'd rather spend more for a better picture but everybody's different. If size is all you want (ha ha) then this might be a good buy.

Anything from Apex is probably not a hot deal.

I would expect the thing to last 91 days, honestly. But if you just want a short-term disposable tv, could be right for you.

it's ok. I got one for a 190 - $20 gift card a couple months back. It's probably the cheapest s-video tv you can get. The overall picture is good (brightness/contrast/saturation). Don't let the factory presets fool you (they suck). The only thing is you need to make sure you don't get a weird model. The original one I bought had slight "rising suns" on either side of the screen when it was displaying black.

Anyway, there's no real point in spending more money unless you're getting hdtv (30" widescreen for $850.00 + 100 gift card at best buy).

i have this TV and it's not that bad, it has started to ghost however, dont ask me how, but it's annoying as all hell

Apex is probably similar to ECS motherboards...they get the job done.

i have this TV. not bad for it's price.

I have one for the past 9 months, No problem whatsoever. Crisp clear for PS2, and on cable/satellite its crystal clear.

These are the ones they were giving away with instant rebate at CompUSA with T-mobile phone activations, right?

The price isn't that hot but the TV is good. You can usually get them from CC for about $179 (sometimes they are around $189 or $199).

I bought the 24" Apex (it has a more flat screen than the 27") for $149 about a year ago. I still love it.. people always comment on the picture (especially the s-video), then I tell them what it costs and they're speechless. Definitely worth the money for an extra TV!

I picked up a 24" Apex last week. Works good pictures good. I just got it as a crutch till I get an HDTV. But wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for $160 its not a bad deal at all.

only thing i've had from apex is a cheap 49$ dvd player i got from walmart. works fine, nothing great.

anyway, i got a 25" sanyo tv from walmart a while ago, still working great. im sure the TV is fine for 180$, just dont expect a trinitron tube.

I bought one about six months ago and later hooked up the Apex AD1200 dvd player. TV works good, dvd works good, me happy;-)
