In-depth review.

My 2 cents: Good price, but I wouldn't trust $400 on a brand like this.

P.S. In case you did not already know, you can get $10 off from Amazon by singing up for a Free 30-day Prime Account Trial. This considered... Woot is still cheaper =)

Emerson TVs get some pretty good reviews on Amazon...

i admire the picture in the tv, very hilarious.

what brand name is that!!!

psh, i got my 32;; plasma Vizio from walmart for 580, damn illinois 10% tax

then again, what the hell is emerson

Emerson's usually have bad sound quality, and this one has a really cheap feeling remote

I like the hole in the floor myself, no mess

That picture is from Indian Raliways toilet. Reminds me of my traveling days in India by train.

720p is just fine for 32" TV


...unless you like to sit 8" from the TV, but watching The Bourne Identity that close isn't recommended.

1080p isn't noticable at 32"; fine price on a cheap HDTV.

This would be nice for the house I'm buying this week in the bedroom.

Not for me, I got that 32" HANNspree a while ago.

i have both a 1080p and 720p 32 inch screen, and its virtually impossible to tell the difference for any movies/games/TV unless you're really looking for it

Means "Western Toilet" in Hindi

The regular squat toilet is "eastern" and the commode/WC sitting toilet came from the west, so its the western toilet.

Interesting pic! Woot has sunk to a new low!

You're buying a house in a bedroom?

I always seemed to miss the hole and hit th back of my shoes.

Regardless of whether people can tell the difference between 720p and 1080p a 1000:1 contrast ratio is not good, even for a 32 inch.

For the size that it is, 720 is fine.

But this is still bleh.

I feel relatively certain that whoever wrote the Product Description for Woot was on some type of mind-altering drugs. Not that there's anything wrong with that... ;-)

Yes, folks, 1080p is unnecessary for a TV this size, and you won't find it on any competitors' 32" offerings either. So faulting this for lacking 1080p is hardly fair. Fault it for other things if you must, but be reasonable.

Here's some Cnet user opinions:

just for the info one of the language displayed on the tv is hindi.

So, what's wrong with a cheap feel?

That shot is from Darjeeling Limited!

I have a 90" projection HDTV 720p. I have serious doubts that I would see the difference between my 720 and a 1080 (unless there was a quick pan scene).

I am looking at something to replace the 'on it's way out' old 27 inch television that I bought in 1996 that is in the bedroom.

This is good enough for that, right?

This seems a good size, and seems a good price, but i am concerned about warranty on refurbs.

VERY GOOD REVIEW:

Emerson (Funai)= poorest QC/junk

They didn't honor my warranty on a VCR and CD player and just didn't care abt offering any assistance. You've been warned.

Isn't contrast ratio an arbitrary measurement? I don't believe there is a standard, so are not these numbers pulled out of someone's arse?

Emerson vacuums without Lake and Palmer...

Someone posted a "Timey Wimey" comment and now it is gone...

Anyways, love the Doctor Who and Star Trek references.

My theory is that Star Trek episodes are just actors portraying the actual events that will happen in the future.

i have had this tv since christmas. the picture is great. the sound is ok. it's been a good tv. the company, symphonic, was bought out by emerson (or vice-versa), and my tv actually says symphonic on the bottom. i bought it for $459 on the day after thanksgiving sale at wal-mart. the big downfall to this tv is there is only one hdmi output, which means you would have to buy a switcher to run multiple hdmi cables (like a dvd player or gaming system). great for the price. i am going to recommend my buddies to check it out.
on a side note: i did have to take my first set back. for some reason, the damned thing stop working after a day. the 2nd set has been great.

You are probably right, especially if it only says "contrast ratio" I thought there was some sort of standard with a static contrast ratio but I'm sure. The picture also has a lot to do with the Comb Filter as well.

"only one hdmi output"
Do you mean HDMI input?
Looks like your first set is for sale here today.
