Well, I've been looking to buy an HDTV from 19" to 26" and I came across this one:

Element 19" LCD HDTV (FLX-1910)
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Customer-reviews-for-Element-19-LCD-HDTV-FLX-1910/sem/rpsm/oid/175558/rpem/ccd/productDetailReview.do#tabs

Which will be on sale for Memorial Day at CC for $219.99 from the $329.99 price tag it retails for and was wondering is it worth it to get it now because I have been looking for months for a TV around this size that supports up to 1080i and they don't really come along this cheap often.

Edit: added a pic of the ad where the price is located for Monday & Sunday.

There's almost no info on that set on the internet... and you honestly can't trust CC's user reviews because it seems like they give everything out there a fairly high rating.

Honestly, I'm not saying brand names are perfect or that non-brand names are perfect but it's hard to recommend a TV when you can't find much info on it on the internet.

I'd say save up a bit more- for $300, you can get a sweet Samsung or Sharp LCD. But it's your decision so go take a look at it at the store and play with the settings... if you can get a picture that you like, then get it.

That is the exact reason I started this thread, to find out if someone else has this already and enjoys their tv.

Well, it looks like I won't be getting it at all because they never updated the site with the sales price that is in the print ad so I might have to go to the store to get a rain check on it since no store near me has it in stock.
