A Wal-Mart near me has a 51' HD Wide Screen Magnavox on clearance for $850. There are some light scratches/scuffs on the screen. I'm not sure if it is HD or just HD ready because it says it can have a HD receiver installed. What I am curious is, is this a good price? It is covenant in the fact that I can put it on lay-away. I can't afford to go out and buy one and I'm honest enough with myself knowing I don't have the self-control to save the money up. Can anyone tell me if this is a good deal?

Magnavox = great products
If you can live with the scratches, buy it.

I'd pass on this if I were you. Save your money and get something better. Trust me, you'll thank me later on.

You usually can't put clearance items on layaway without an act of god or the facility manager's approval.

A couple of things to consider:
This TV is high definition. However, it does not have HDMI input like newer HDTV sets. It also does not seem to accept 720p signals, which is not uncommon for HDTVs.
What this means is that:
* This TV will work great with all High Definition Television broadcasts with a HD cable box from your cable co.
* This TV will work great with all High Definition XBOX 360 games
* This TV may have problems with 720p High Definition PS3 games (if PS3 has no scaler, unknown at this point)
* This TV will not display High Definition HD-DVD or Blu-Ray movies (they need HDMI)

I would wait. I remember reading earlier this year that LCD prices are expected to drop by 50% over the next two years. LCD or plasma would probably give you a wider viewing angle and more brightness.
