Anyone have any expierience with Sceptre TVs?

freakdiablo · Sep 16, 2008

I was just looking for an HDTV, and I saw this on sale. I was just wondering how good it was. I can't seem to find any decent reviews on it.

I dont know about their LCD TVs
But I have a 20 inch monitor from them.
They have crappy customer service imo.
Sent it in to be fixed. Received it back still messed up.
I wouldn't buy from them.

32" at 1080p is a gimmick unless you sit about 4 feet away from the thing. Unless that's the case, better off spending the cash on a bigger 720p set, I think you can snag a 42" for the same price as this one.

Sceptre makes decent low end monitors so it's safe to say the same is probably true for this product as well, but I would think that you would be able to find a Phillips or Panasonic for around the same price and would be better off going that route.

Well, it's for a smaller dorm room, so at most I'm going to be within 10 feet. Plus a 32" is probably the best I can fit in here. I might be able to fit a 37" if I'm lucky.

FudgeNuggets-I would go with a Phillips/panasonic, but I'm trying to keep it below the $750 price point and all I see are 26" screens from them in that range. The reason I picked this was because it was on sale.

My bad, I accidentally looked at the original price and not the sale price of $650. That IS a pretty good deal, but if you can hold out for a bit, I hear that the prices of LCDs and Plasmas are going to come CRASHING down around Thanksgiving. 11/25 for you non-yanks.

Ah, ok, yeah, I guess I could wait a few months.

Edit: Actually, I might go with this. It's only 720p and a little more expensive then the Sceptre but it's a Samsung and I always liked them.

I wouldn't settle for anything less than 1080p, you will regret it in the near future if not immediately.

Depends on viewing distance and screen size. See the chart here http://s3.carltonbale.com/resolution_chart.html
