Philips Outlet-30" Widescreen HDTV Model #30PW850H99-$299.99+tax

This is the model it seems to have a very good track record from the Philips Outlet, this TV is great for the 360 and HDTV over component. The only drawback is no HDMI inputs.

p.s.
I thought this was worth its own thread but feel free to add it to the other Philips Outlet thread.

Does anyone know how good this TV is?

from what Ive read.... awful. The reviews I see say that you have worse than a 50/50 chance of getting a working tv. The problems this model had was a bad power supply. And what phillips is doing to fix them, rather than installing a better/newer power supply, is simply replacing hte blown fuse with a new one. So the tv will still blow the same fuse down the line, if not immediately.

Good to know...I guess if it looks to good to be true, it must be.

Yea... I was going to buy this too untill I went over to fatwallet and saw how many people were complaining about having to send their tvs back since they didnt work. Again, dont take my opinion at face value.... Im just going by the statements of others. Its up to you whether or not you feel like taking a gamble.
