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


I'm going off of direct experience when shopping in their stores. The kids they hire for employees are too busy talking with each other or doing the 1000 mile stare. The brands they carry are low end "Cheap" models. Sure they carry Sony, but it's always Sony's low end models that are mass produced in China. They'll have Samsung too, but again their low end Chinese made sets.

Sony does make crappy products too. Sony's bottom end receivers are garbage and falsely misrepresent themselves to unknowledgeable consumers. The HTDDW990 HTIB states that it produces 140W per channel plus 200W for the sub. Wow...looking deeper you see that at 140W it has a THD of 10% (ten percent). A friend of mine bought one thinking Sony = good and 900W = awesome. That's the kind of product Walmart primarily sells throughout their stores...landfill.

If you want quality, your not going to get it at Walmart. If you don't want to pay much and quality is not an issue, Walmart is your store.
