Sanyo 32" bubble TV at wal-mart, good brand??

New member Username: DespPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-05 | I've been looking around at different stores, and wal-mart seems to be the only place that carries sanyo, is that because it's not a good brand? I always thought in the past they were decent... Anyway this is the TV - http://www.sanyo.com/entertainment/televisions/stereo/index.cfm?productID=1113 - and wal-mart has it for $247. Anyone know what type of comb filter it has? It does have component input so that's decent.... Opinions? |

Silver Member Username: SamijubalPost Number: 939 Registered: Jul-04 | I have a Sanyo 25" TV in the house that isn't very old. Pretty good color, lousy geometrics, crops off a fair amount of the picture. Last I knew according to Consumer Reports, Sanyo TVs had lower breakdowns than most. |

videographerII Unregistered guest | I bought that Sanyo 32" 3 years ago for $500 at Best Buy in Wisconsin. I already had 2 smaller Sanyos based on the Consumer Reports "frequency of repair". I noticed the Walmart price and went to 2 different stores-both were out. Seems they are discounted because of not being "HD ready". Mine are great with cable and one in the kitchen runs great with "rabbit ears" |

Silver Member Username: VindslPost Number: 187 Registered: Jul-04 | I actually considered buying a 32" Sanyo, a couple of years ago. It was in my 'Top 3' list. I anguished over it for weeks. If I remember correctly, they sold Sanyo's locally at Wal-Mart and Best Buy. 'The choice', so to speak, was between Sanyo, JVC, and Toshiba, in that order. I ended up buying a JVC. The thing that 'bummed me out' and 'turned me off' the Sanyo was the finish and general appearance of the cabinet, not the PQ. To me, it looked VERY Wal-Mart'ish, for lack of another word. The picture quality looked great, and the price and availability was fine, but I couldn't get past that 'cheesy' cabinet. Maybe they've improved its' looks, but I doubt it. Sanyo TV's have always looked rough-cut and utilitarian. Personally, I don't want a TV that looks like it belongs on 'Captain Kirk's Pedestal', but I don't want something from 'Sanford and Son' either... |

Doesn't matter, unless you're using s-video or composite inputs, which I assume you won't be. Use component input and forget the comb filter...  |

fx Unregistered guest | Seems like a fulltime job correcting the Vinster: A comb filter is not used on an S-Video input either, only on composite inputs. Back to your regularly scheduled program of misinformation. xvxvxvx |

Silver Member Username: VindslPost Number: 190 Registered: Jul-04 | LoL! Oops! Good catch, X-man. Let me rephrase that... Doesn't matter, unless you're using RF cable or composite inputs, which I assume you won't be. Use component or s-video input and forget the comb filter.. |
