27 inch TV for 149.99!!!

Just FYI....>Target has a 27 inch tv for 149.99 that is 25 inches in width, maintains the same audio input when turned off, and will power back on when unplugged/plugged.

Man thanks. I was just headed out the door to Best Buy to check out some of their tvs but I have a Target right around the corner. Didn't even think to go there. Thanks again.

I just found out that it is no longer at Target at this price, but is now at Circuit City at this price.  Its a Aventure model.....

Thats the one............however, the width is not 26 inches.  A rep at Circuit City measured it and it was 25 inches.

I picked one of those up on Monday at Circuit City. Mine is indeed 26 inches wide at the widest spot. I haven't tested the picture yet, but it looks like it will make a great monitor for a mame cab.

Since it is indeed 26 inches, and I am putting it in the Project Arcade books standard cab which is 26 inches, do you think there will be a heat problem?  Should some fans be placed in the rear for circulation?  Keep in mind that I cannot widen the cab at this point.

Aventura?

If this is the one I'm thinking of, the picture looked pretty poor...

Thanks for the info!

[hatrick]

I've had mine up and running in my cab for about a week now and I have no complaints about the quality of the s-vid picture. Of course windows is a bit hard to read, but that's to be expected.

For the price ($149) I have no complaints.

Too bad it doesn't have component inputs.  I may have picked one up.
