Hey guys -
Looking at getting a TV for our new apartment, 3 college guys so budget is tight - looking at under 1k for the TV alone (cables not included).
We were looking at something like a Samsung 30 incher, but at a local Brandsmart today we saw a floor model HP MD5820n getting a massive discount because it was both a discontinued model and there was some cosmetic damage to the body. They were asking only 898.88 for it, marked down from the original of 2.8k. I've tried to find some reviews on it, but they are sparse - will this be a good enough TV to hold us over for the better part of 1 year?
Viewing area will be about 12 feet from the TV, so I know the size may be a little big, but our budget/selection is limited.
Any help would be appreciated, want to buy it tomorrow since it doesn't seem like it will last long.
Thanks,
Mike
