Cheap 42″ LCD HDTV For Only $499

Posted by on Nov 13, 2008 | 9 Comments

Newegg is out of stock for this TV as of November

16, 2008.

The folks over at Newegg are offering a off name bran HDTV sized at 42″ for only $499. Here is what is being said about the HDTV on Neweggs site:

Corion Digital Lifestyles 42″ 720p LCD HDTV – FA2B42323

One reviewer stated:

Low price, good quality, NewEgg service rocks as always. This is a great TV for a second TV or for those venturing into high deff and dont want to drop a thousand dollars on a TV.
Great inputs: Hdmi, Composite, component, S-Video. Coax SPDIF sound out, Phono L R sound out. Pseudo surround sound sounds good. Coax handles both NTSC and ATSC on the same connector.

This TV is fantastic. Arrived without any dead pixels, which was a plus. I only use this for high-def gaming, but I can say that it’s a fantastic picture. Will upscale all the way up to 1080p (not mentioned in the specifications, but it works just fine) even though it’s native 720p.

Another reviewer stated that:


I’ve seen TVs which are 300-400 dollars more than this model that have a worse looking picture. I picked this up for 599$ and I’m not disappointed.

Cons: None I’ve found so far – everything works as advertised.

I would read all the reviews which comprise both of good and bad results. Though the price is the lowest I have seen, the brand is unknown. With any unknown brand name it makes me wonder how well the TV will perform down the road. Also you get what you pay for. :-)

Comments welcome.

    Ron…you sir, are about as intelligent as a $2 smoothie. Hackers are a complete necessity. If not for them, security wouldn’t even be a thought. Now imagine, if you will. a bank that never locks up the money. Would you bank there? This is what the role of all criminals are, to make us think twice about doing something completely and utterly foolish! Aside from what Blake is saying about law enforcement, corporations need to start thinking about security as a NECESSARY cost. Hacktivists like Anonymous and LulzSec are NOT the problem. They are the alarm clock ringing in your ear telling you to wake up and realize that you need to protect your data better. If not for them, the real underground, organized crime families that have moved into cyber-crime for one, would be able to walk into any company, steal there information and instead of broadcasting it, they wouldn’t say a word this way they can go back for more later. The blasting of peoples weak security forces accountability onto corporations and companies because i can tell you that only about 10% of all hacks are ever reported. No company wants to report it let alone do anything about it.

    I like the Apple apps (except for Safari) but I just don’t use them that often
