That Panasonic is not necessarily a piece of shite
Ummm....
quote:
The particular model that Best Buy is offering -- the 50A400 -- scored a modest 6 out 10 on AVForums: "We have seen a number of excellent TVs from Panasonic this year but sadly [this] is not one of them. In fact, it's one of the worst TVs we have reviewed so far, failing on almost every level to deliver the kind of performance ... we would expect from even a budget TV."
quote:
A more significant -- and more insidious -- problem is the derivative model: In their quest to offer ever greater deals with which to entice shoppers, retailers contract with television manufacturers for special Black Friday sets. Like a piece of clothing purchased from an outlet store, these televisions are based on full-featured TVs, but are commonly missing key features, often made with lesser-quality parts or sold with sharply reduced warranties.

wait, so this is like an even shittier version of their most basic TV?

Yes
Like I said earlier...

Derivative models are manufactured in limited runs for the express purpose of being offered "on sale" during Black Friday. Unfortunately, it's difficult to determine which sets are derivatives -- the retailers don't make it easy, and even if you identify one, it's often hard to find its shortcomings.

oh, I missed that. I just saw the Panasonic name and assumed it would at least be halfway decent. I am out of touch with all of these Black Friday scams. I have never, ever done Black Friday shopping, at least not physically in store.

Neither have I, but I thought I might take a chance to get a new TV this year. Looks like I am avoiding Black Friday as usual.

I'm not buying this model anymore.
Are there any good gaming monitors out there?

I've always bought my tv's on black friday or at deep discounts and have only ever had one small issue. One tv no longer lets me hook next gen gaming systems into it so I moved it to the bedroom and hooked it up to the SNES. I'm pretty pleased.

I bought my last TV off amazon. I recommend giving that a look because they have some really good deals year round (not $199 for a 50" good though) and you don't have to pay taxes. If you have Prime shipping is free as well.
