Zeno,

What was the price for the Wal-Mart 24"?  What do you think of the quality of image and construction?

I checked online and it isn't up there anymore.  I only bought it about 3 months ago, but I guess it was discontinued.  It was around $150.

No complaints.  Looks great.  Best price out in the market.

I forget the brand.  I'll double check when I get home.

Just check craigslist for some good deals.  Picked mine up there and it is working great.

I wish this was true.  Almost every TV I found that was 27" w/ speakers on the bottom was about 3/4" to wide.

I'm a little girl and didn't want to take a saw to a new tv case.  I think even Costco would reject this if I needed to return it.

BTW brock - your screen looks great!  Perfect fit.  I couldn't even tell it was a TV.

I know why you had to cut it, I actually checked that tv out last night (tape measure in hand) at my local BB and it measures just over 25 1/2''
 
Are you happy with the picture quality and does it remember the last selected input on power up?
