My money is on China for their home. They're a free member, here, so not much info on them.

Found a problem post about the brand: http://www.fixya.com/support/t880794-ilo_2600_silo_lcd_color_tv

Found a discussion from an unhappy camper Dan and a Silo rep: http://www.ripoffreport.com/tvs-vcrs/silo-digital-corp/silo-digital-corp-do-not-buy-t-e6a6c.htm

Combining shake weights with a reference to something that is 40"...oh my.

For a moment, I thought it was the world's most expensive Shakeweight...

how is 16:9 widescreen?

I really can't find any information about this tv. I can't even find info about this brand. My guess is it's either canadian or german. Or new. I trust it if woot has it. But I wish I could find at least a couple reviews.

Yeah, but if i shake the TV, i bet it doesn't give me cab fare

Good old Joe doesn't want to wake Bonnie

anyone have any info on the Brand? Some crazy subset of a more well known one or a store brand or what?

Manufacturer web site: Silo Digital - Consumer Electronics

Manufacturer product page: LTSL4060 - 40" 1080p HD LCD Television - ECHO Series

shakeweights...oh god did woot get a shipment NOOOOoooooooooooooooooo

Oh, I'd buy "Juggalo Abs."

Well, no, I'd try to talk somebody else into it. But I'd want to buy it.

.

$380 seems a little steep for a couple of shake weights, but I do need to lose a few pounds from all the holiday over-eating. In for 3.

I know I'll always say this about improving technology, but it's crazy how much less a 40" LCD 1080p TV costs now than when I bought mine 2 years ago.

Because it's not 12:9?

At first glance I thought they were repeating "2 for Tuesday!"

*points to the "AS SEEN ON TV" sticker*
Yup. That sums it up.

For those that want the Shake Weight too!

who the hell is silo?

It's widescreen compared to the old 4:3 boob tubes.

This Silo TV is just what I needed for my Barn Blu-ray player!

How is 16:9 NOT Widescreen?

Silo?

The only thing I know about silos is that they hold lots of corn. Never heard of this brand. Anyone know anything about them? Not much info on the web (for example: epinions) either.

Amen! Pretty soon, you'll see 52" LCD 1080p TVs for $49.99. Unreal.

It's a grievous typo a korean company made of Sony.

I thought it was for shake weights, too - looked like they were in a box set of two! ROFL

What does the USB input do? Can I play avi or mpg files from a thumb drive?

Quality assembled in USA

Anyone found the site that gives dimensions???

*generic comment about the Shake Weight here*

4000:1 contrast ratio! Worst I've ever seen! ..........ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

An homage to the departed electronics retailer?

Which, incidentally, means you're not going to get great blacks with this TV.

I'm just going to put this out there:

I would have killed for this in college, but not now.

LOCK AND LOAD! LOCK AND LOAD! BRING ON THE PAIN!!!

Awesome, Woot!

ugh, i guess im a sucker, I went in for one. I needed a tv for the office anyway.

They assemble HDTV's in California (SILO does) from parts and screens made and imported from Sri Lanka according to their press releases and the Website.

I notice they have product that may be found for sale at Fingerhut.com and Tiger Direct . . . this television in particular sold for $699.99 on Fingerhut's site. Archived reviews at Tiger and Fingerhut were mixed.

I would expect a functional unit that may actually be worth sub-$400 for 40" but I wouldn't expect bleeding edge technology or super black levels, etc.

For the price though, it may be a perfect set for a bedroom or a kids game room, dorm or similar.

From the manufacturer's "About us" page:

We came as the unknown, but plan to leave as the remembered.

Hard to argue with that.

From their "about us" page:

"We are a consumer electronics manufacturer/distributor based out of California, United States with branches in India and Sri Lanka."

My money is on an Indian company trying to gain market share. They already have a practical monopoly on offshore tech support, so it's only natural that they are trying to have a larger international presence. Even if that means products like Tata automobiles...
