It is rare for me to post a follow up to a review. However, this time I am left with no choice. Remember the television I reviewed? It was a fairly positive review; despite a few annoying glitches, I found the TV to be excellent value for money. Well, apparently, there's a clear cut reason why this television set is cheap. Read and weep.

geeks.com was "out of stock" on these when your first review hit OSNews... I remember clearly clicking the links to see what additional info they provided, only to notice that they were out of stock already.
Reminds me of a recent report I heard that consumers are looking for lowest price rather than better quality when deciding what to purchase.
I suspect this is due to the market's resistance in backing up their products - thus the cheaper items require less initial investment with the same amount of unknown quality and lifetime guarantee. Not to mention, now-a-days, you don't know how long something is going to be "viable" technology, so people are less worried about how long it will last, and focus on cheapest investment.
Obviously this makes for a horrible market for people who care about quality.
