Sceptre 46-inch 1080p HDTV For $1299
So we'll give you the fact that since Sceptre is a brand you probably haven't ever heard of, they might not be on par with LG, Sony, or Samsung. But, for $1299 it sure is a fairly cheap way of gaining entry into the big-screen full HD market.
Not only are they cheap, but they are available at a brick and mortar Costco near you, so if you want you can drive on down and see what they look like now. It is actually retailing for $1599 but there is a $300 rebate.
The contrast ratio is a respectable 8,000:1, and has a load of inputs. Here is the list of inputs, 3 HDMI ports, 2 component, 2 composite/S-video, and a VGA input for connecting a computer. Oh, and it has 4 built in speakers that support SRS TruSurround XT. Get yours before August 12th as that's when the offer ends.
