Are good 1080p TV's so cheap???

[disolitude]

I just bought a Phillips 47 inch 120 hz 1080p TV for $258.

Did some research on this TV and it's one of the better TV's that Phillips offered in 2010. I really don't even need it, just couldn't pass up on the deal lol.

So yeah, I'd say TV's in America are cheap and 720p is really non existent under 32 inches. I do visit Europe every year and I see things are different over there. They still have 720p models in 42 and 50 inch size.

Also, regarding the whole "brand" talk...it really isn't that big of a difference. You may buy a Sony TV but it has a Sharp LCD and is assembled in the same factory that Vizos get made...so this whole idea of paying more for certain brands no matter what the TV is, isn't right. There are good TV's and bad ones, no matter what the brand is.
