Is Dynex® - 42" 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV a good one?

Question

Is it? And what's good about it? And what's bad about it?

Answer 1

Dynex, Insignia, Westinghouse, Vizio, Sceptre are all third-tier quality.

They buy parts from china and assemble them here and sell them cheep to retail stores to give them a low-end HDTV.

They DO work and they are cheep, but:

- Dont ever plan on getting them repaired

- They dont look as good as Sony, Samsung, Sharp (companies that are in the TV business long term)

Go to the Library and get the July 2008 issue of Home Theater magazine. They do a reveiew of 3 Costco televisions for under a grand.  They can do a better job of explaining the compromises than I can.

Answer 2

The good news is its cheap...the bad news is the same. Spend the money get a Samsung or a Sharp. Dynex is a Best Buy brand and for the money you pay its will get the job done but not very good. Invest for the long haul not the short term.
