Re: Wal-Mart to advertise HDTVs on Monday Night Football


Walmart currently stocks the "cheapest" mass produced TV sets around. They are basically 5 years away from a landfill. Walmart demands low costs from their suppliers and wih their gigantic buying power they get it. They will probably stock sets mass produced in China by companies like RCA or VIZIO or some other company you've never heard of.

I would never buy a TV from Walmart because I am one who enjoys quality. If Walmart is selling it, that means that it was mass produced cheaply or was a sell off of surplus manufacturer's stock. There would probably be reliability issues either way. Sure Walmart will take it back at their store, but do you want to have to lug back a 100lb TV.

Plus if you had questions about different models, Walmart's minimum wage employee (if you can find one to help) hardly cares if you buy crap or quality.
