Right now at my Wal-Mart we just put quite a few floor display tvs on clearance, one of them being a 30'' widescreen Sanyo HD tv. The price tag says was $558 (I think) now $400. Well, my friend(coworker) talked to one of our overnight managers tonight and he told my friend that our head manager is wanting to get rid of these pretty bad and will take some money off them.

How much extra do you think he would have to take off for it to be a must buy deal? And do you guys think this will be a good tv to have for when I move out of the house? Also, would it be good for next gen gaming?

Here is a link to what the tv looks like and what it can/can't do.

Thanks a lot for the help in advance.
 
Anything under $400 would be excellent. The refurb Philips 30" HDTV's were going for $360, this is a better TV and not a refurb.
 
Sanyo is junk.
Also,... it isn't the best of what Sanyo puts out anyways,... and that's not saying much.

Seriously,... go with Sony, Hitachi, or Mitsubishi for your HD. If you're looking for a well made set, with a lot of options for the price,.... go with Samsung. They have superb sets, with great warranties and usually everything you'll need for the next 3-5 years.

Good luck.
 
Take in cash and offer to pay $350 on the spot and tell them it will be moved within the hour. Store managers hate it when people want to pay later or pick it up the next day. Personally I know nothing of the brand so I can't comment on it's quality.
 
So does the "Integrated ATSC Tuner" mean that the HD tuner is built in the tv? If so, what can I do with this tv compared to a tv that does not have the tuner built in?

The tuner is for over the air (broadcast) signals anyway, so its fairly useless for most people.

Don't listen to anyone who says Sanyo is a bad brand. Its a great brand. And you're paying a bargain basement price. Sure, if price is no object, we'd all love that 60 inch Sony or Hitachi. But the object here is to get the best TV you can for the fewest dollars. According to Consumer Reports, Sanyo had the second fewest amount of serious problems or repairs. This TV in particular was long considered a good deal by many, at the regular price. On this popular HDTV message board (I forget what its called), people like this TV. If you can get it for less than $400, or even at $400, get it.
 
So if I hooked up the directv to this tv would I notice a better picture quality, or would I have to buy a tuner or special cables for it to look good? I have the same question for video game systems as well.
 
Have you shopped for a tv dafoomie????
I guess Consumer Reports is precise eh???

I have seen the quality of Sanyo's sets. They aren't horrid,... but they do not portray what HD is meant to be.
The resolution looks like a non-filtered tube. There are also issues with interlaced signals.

Sure,... if having a BIG tv is your goal,... fine, go get it. Just make sure it's only the size you want.
I'd recommend browsing a few stores, with mid-higher end units, to see what you won't be getting. Then you'll understand how cheap doesn't equal great, or even fair.

Also,... just listening to us,... or reading reviews is the first step. You really have to put some time into this. So you've seen this set in action. Now go look around at other stores to compare capabilities, in/outs, future compatibilities, and overall quality.
Guaranteed, if you care about quality, you're going to be dissappointed with a rushed, bargain purchase.

A good Samsung set would blow any of Sanyo's out of the water,.... that's from hitting about 20 stores across 3 states. They are much cheaper than the BIG name companies,... and because of their quality products,... are now becoming recognized as a BIG name. I personally have a Grand WEGA,.... and am totally happy with it. For the money, it was a deal to me, considering most of my time I am either watching movies, or playing games.

It's all in your mind. If you want to brag here about the BIG set you got for cheap,... go for it. If you want to amaze yourself every time you toss in a new movie,... shop around first.

Good luck.

Is a Samsung better than a Sanyo? Yes.

Can you get a comparable Samsung for $400? No. You'd be hard pressed to get one for $800. You're trying to compare this TV to something that costs double. Show me a better TV for less than $400. In fact, I only know of two HDTV's for under $400, this, and the refurb Philips deal. and I'd much prefer this to a Philips (and I own the Philips). This isn't about a "big" tv. Its about HDTV. This is, in fact, a very small HDTV.

If you've got the money, and aren't afraid to spend it, there are better TV's to be had, for sure. But this is a great deal and not a bad TV at all, in its own right.

This is a good TV. Here is the avsforum's thread about this TV:
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=435721
 
There is no way to say no to this deal. Even if you despise it in a year you can get $250 for it easy. Heck, I see regular 4:3 Tvs for $250 on craigs list weekly.

Buy the tv.

Buy the tv.

BUY THE TV!!!
 
[quote name='Sarang01']Fooms will this TV support 720p? If it does and has a fairly good picture Jericho you might want to settle for a while.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't display 720p natively, but it will upscan the signal into 1080i.
 
There is also a Phillips tv like the refurb ones that we are selling for $400 as well. My buddy wants that one, but I would much rather have the Sanyo. My friend is going to call our manager tomorrow morning and tell him we will take both tvs if he'll take some money off or give us a deal on them.

I'll be sure to post something on here tomorrow morning on how much he'll take off of it. I am hoping for $350, but I'm aiming for a longshot at $300. Someone on cnet posted that they got this TV for $225(display).

Actually the tuner does Clear QAM (I think that's the right term) also. After a certain date they disabled it though, not sure if they ever re-enabled it. Supposedly you can call Sanyo and they will send someone out to enable it for you.

Yeah, but if you get cable or satellite, you get an HD tuner anyway, making this redundant. Even if you did use this tuner on your cable network, you'd only get your locals. Comcast rents out the HD tuner like they do a regular cable box, you don't have to buy it.

The tuner with this TV is a nice thing to have, but it won't matter much for most.
 
I highly recommend you stay away from samsungs slim fit CRT if you happen to take a look at it. I went throught 2 sets with bad color and geomerty and eventually exchanged out for a sony CRT thats sooo much better.
 
Yeah but consider he's getting a bastard HDTV signal then Fooms. Interlaced is the bastard format of HDTV, no matter how high the rez is. JMO.
 
I disagree with the statement that Sanyo is junk.

I've talked to a few people who have bought Sanyo's and they have lasted them for many years. I've had a Sanyo that has worked great so far for five years.

That's a pretty good deal on the Sanyo, you may want to buy it. I got my 32" Sanyo from Walmart for $210 with my 20% Xmas discount. :)
 
Any television can last, if it's manufactured properly.
I'm just saying that the quality of the picture isn't going to be what it could on a better set.

Heck,... I have a 20in Symphonic, I bought in school, that's lasted 6 years. It has nothing to do with it's durability.
Hate to tell you,... but 720p, and even 1080i aren't HD. The 360 and PS3 will be pushing 1080p minimum,.... so you kinda have to think about the future.

If you aren't interested in the best possible picture,.... then go ahead and buy it. If you don't think you could muster up another $500-1000 by December,.... then go for it.
It's just impulsive, bargain based purchases have a tendency to leave you dissappointed.
I passed many deals on sets, and saved up enough to get the set I researched, physically and virtually.

Then,... even though I didn't have the set right away,... when I finally got my set,... it was cheaper than when I first selected it,... and, it gave me some extra cash for the neccessary components, cables, and safety equipment for the ultimate setup.

Seriously,... you may hate eBay, but there are many reputable dealers on there, who will gladly sell you last years high end model for thousands off the going rate. They have to clear their showroom floors, and quickly.
Also, Froogle can help as well.

For my set,... I hit the stores first. I checked out every set on display,... demanding to see high-def material diaplayed on them. When I found the best set for what I could save for, I came home and found out the code for the technicians' menu. I returned to tweak the set to a normal resolution, rather than the store's maxxed out settings. (Vivid/Contrast/everything+++)
Then I went to Agoraquest,... as it's a Sony exclusive site. I got a feel from the community on my interest. I checked out the current group buy price. That is when a bunch of people buy the same unit,... and get free shipping, and percentages off items, depending on the amount of participants there are.) Then, I moved to the AV Forums to get their impressions, and analysis.

My eyes weren't deceiving me,... this set was by far the best at the time, considering the hundreds who posted.

I then saved. By the time I had the cash,.... I had more than enough. The price dropped $700. I hit eBay,... and found it for $800 cheaper,... with free shipping. Enough to buy the stand, and multiple upgrades for my equipment.

All's I'm saying is take the time. There is no rush. That is what a SALE is all about. Creating havoc in your mind, causing you to make senseless decisions. Oh my lord,... you may miss out on a crumby set. BUT GOSH,... it sure is cheap.
Come on.

Another thing.
CAGs are not videophiles,... and if we were,... there would be more guys on here telling you why not to get this set.
Don't listen to me,... or anyone here.
Do your research elsewhere,... at multiple sites.
Try out an XBox game, that pushes 1080i, with component hookups on the set. See if it is good enough for you.

If it is,... then that's all that matters.
If you have a desire to see the next generation of consoles' in their full beauty,... save up a bit more,... and in the meantime,... do your research.

Good luck.
 
if your trying to step up without spending alot this looks like the best your going to get for that price range for a while
 
Is it really stepping up????
That's like starting to buy VHS now, right when DVDs are ready to die out, in room for BluRay/HDDVDs.

Take a gander at the next gen's specs,... and standard resolutions for the games.
Unless you don't plan on getting one of the new consoles,.... you're gonna be a bit behind.

Whatever man,.... it's like trying to tell a kid why crack isn't good for them. You see a deal, and have casual consumers pushing their lacking opinions at you. Good luck.

I hate to tell you but both 720p and 1080i are HDTV. Where as 480p is EDTV. Any I've heard no talk whatsoever of 1080p becoming the standard for the next generation. It would also suprise me seeing as the 360 comes out this fall and the number of end-users with 1080p compatible display devices is infintisemely small, I'd find that suprising.
 
Ok, I'll explain my situation out a bit better.

Right now I am a junior in college and I'm not really needing a tv at the moment. When I am at home, I use a 52'' RCA projection tv that looks similar to this pic below (just a little older maybe a 1997 or 1998 model). I can't take the TV with me because it is my parents, and even if they would let me have it, there is no way that I could get it out from the basement.

0003490911206_100X100.jpg


I am just looking forward because in the next couple of years I will be moving out of the house and will need a new TV. If I could get the Sanyo TV for 250-300 dollars, then it would be a great deal on a TV for when I move out. If anything it would also probably be good to game on with the next gen games.

Now that you all know my situation, would you buy the TV for $250-300 and stash it up for a few years, or wait until it is time to move out to hopefully find a good deal on a TV?

I can speak from experience, as I have had this exact same TV (the Sanyo). I got mine for $550 at my local Wal-Mart, and even at that price, it was a steal. The picture is superb, even using a regular cable signal. However, I returned mine (unfortunately) because of some weird flashing pixels during DVD playback. It wasn't noticeable until the screen went black, but I'm still pretty anal about that kind of thing, so I took it back.

I can't say that yours will have the same problem, but I can't say that it won't either. Your best bet is to try it out for yourself and return it if you are dissatisfied. If I could find another one that worked properly, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. The consumer reviews on CNet can back me up; many people thoroughly enjoy this TV.

You're trying to compare a $300 TV to a $3000 1080p set. There are very few TV's today that support 1080p, and zero 1080p sources available to consumers, whether it be TV or game consoles. PS3 "supports" 1080p at maximum, but few games are expected to use it, if any. 360 won't support it at all. No TV station is or will be broadcasting in 1080p in the forseeable future. 720p and 1080i are the current standards, and are HDTV.

He is clearly not looking to spend $3000. At the $300 price point, any HDTV set is a major deal. Non-HD sets for the same size and smaller go for that price.

Your point is taken that there are highly superior TV's out there for more money. But instead of shooting for the moon, why don't we compare apples to apples? There isn't a better TV you can buy for $300. There probably isn't a better TV you can buy for even $600. Its good value. If you do suddenly have the money down the road for a 1080p set, I don't think I'd be worried about the $300 I spent 6 months ago.

If you've got $5000 to spend, this is clearly not the TV for you. But if your budget is $300-$500, this is perfect.

1080p right now is a fucking joke and will continue to be so UNTIL there is a consumer format that can output that kind of bandwidth. To my knowledge neither HDMI NOR DVI can do it so you're eseentially getting FAKE 1080p even if you buy a set that "supports" it. The best TRUE HDTV rez anyone can get is 720p or it's the standard since I don't hear of ANY programs in 768p which may be the max. Frankly I don't want to even hear the BASTARD format 1080i called High Def when I don't even get the 60 FPS. I'll agree with you about 480p being ED and 720p being HD.

Honestly if you don't have enough bandwidth as a company to do a 720p signal but you dcn't want to be as low as 480p why not do 540p instead? JMS.
 
I'll update the price here in about an hour or sooner. My friend and I are going to call my manager. I know it is a long shot, but I'm hoping he will go $250. I bet he will go $300 at the most.
 
If you don't buy it, I will. It may not be the best HDTV around but for $260 it is great, anyone who says differently is probably trying to sell you a tv.
 
Cool thanks for the advice, we are going take $200 cash apiece and slap it in my managers hand and see if he'll take the cash right there. You guys do know this is the floor model tvs too right? Hopefully they won't sell them as is.

At $200 I'm going to step out on a limb and say that you will be taking that tv as-is.
 
720p and 1080i are HD. You can not get a decent priced 1080p set right now. The only one at my local Best Buy is a $7000 sharp aquos. Im willing to bet that 1080p games on the PS3 are going to be few and far between, kinda like finding 720p and 1080i games on the xbox now. Even with 1080p dlps in the horizon, they are going to have a large jump in price from the dlps that have a 720p native display.

Just because you dont want to hear 1080i called HD, it by industry standards is High Def.

Cool, man. You got a great deal. Give us some first impressions after you get it hooked up. I'm curious to know if yours has the same weird pixel problem that mine did.

No the pixels look fine so far. When I am real close to tv the picture looks like shit, I don't know if all HD tvs are like that, but the further I am from the tv the better it looks.

So far I've played two games on it, Fable and ESPN NFL 2K5. I am not really impressed with it at all. I am using the standard red, yellow, and white cord that came with the Xbox. I'm not sure if using a different cord (I've heard of monster cables) will make it any better or not.

When I game in full screen mode it makes my Fable character and the NFL players sort of short and fat. In normal mode it looks ok, but I can't stand playing a game on it with it not on full screen.

I guess it's going to be hard to play games on a smaller tv after playing on a 52'' for over six years.

I don't know much about HD tvs so any tips on making this tv much more enjoyable would be appreciated.

You need an HD pack.Your getting terrible resolution from standard domposite jacks.Get a set of the MS HD pack with component and youll see a HUGE difference.
 
hey raw, first boot up your xbox without a game in it, goto the settings and change the xbox to a widescreen format, thatll fix the short and fat players.

also, try buying component cables. they split the signal from 1 (on standard AV Cable) to 3 different wires...red green and blue, thus making sharper and more detailed colors from less signal loss.

Yeah, you're not getting HD through the regular cables, you need the High Def AV Pack for about $20, or $10 used.

You can only get HD resolutions though component cables. Your just getting 480i right now.
 
Also, I don't even know what my TV is capable of doing. I don't really know what 4:9, 16:9, and all that other stuff means. I probably sound dumb, but I'll just have to learn what all this stuff is.

Here is the specs for it

30-inch High-Definition (1080i) digital TV

[quote name='dafoomie']Yeah, you're not getting HD through the regular cables, you need the High Def AV Pack for about $20, or $10 used.

You can only get HD resolutions though component cables. Your just getting 480i right now.[/QUOTE]

Any links on where I can get an HD pack? Do you know if most Wal-Marts sell them?
