Total cost after tax= $422.94while definitely a decent price on the TV, I wouldn't exactly put Magnavox in the "name brand quality" category these days. I'd put them in with Vizio, Olevia's, etc. Pretty middle of the road at most.

Definately dont agree with that comment- Phillips-Magnovox has been around for years and has generally always been good quality. While not in the upper echelon like Sony, PANASONIC, or LG. I would say it is the brand right after them. Id easily take it over a similiar VIZIO and definately over OLEVIA. Definately a brand name.

Also even the extreme low quality brands like ILO (who?) lol, Ive never seen this low. Cheapest I ever found was $450 for a low level on sale refurb. So Id say its a great deal.

Was this an 'in store' special? The store near me in NJ has it, but not on sale. Does anyone know if WalMart will honor another store's price?

It did not say in-store special, just went to the electronics section looking for GTA 4, for PS3, and saw the rollback sticker for 399.00, gives me the feeling it was a clearance item. Just FYI- WalMart also offered an additional 2-year protection plan on it for only $28.80! I usually dont go for the pplans on top- but for under $30 seemed worth it since the set only comes with 90 day (!) labor warranty & 1 year parts.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I am sitting here looking at two broken Magnavox lcd tvs and a broken Magnavox dvd player. I even had an extended warranty on one of the tvs and I was told that there were no parts available, so my only recourse was a refund of the extended warranty purchase price. Furthermore, Philips outlet sure has a ton of refurb units for such a "high" quality brand.......

Thanks
Got one at stockton area,2 was left.

same, checked the old WalMart on conley rd, nothing there, i guess they don't carry this in columbia at all.

thanks, save me a try to nifong.

store nearby has only display left and they won't sell display.

I just got one in Waldorf, MD. They had 3. I called about 6 or 7 other stores in the DC area. One store had plenty of them but was quoting me the $614 price over the phone. I noticed that my TV has that price marked on one side of the box and $399 on the other side. I used a theory that if I went to a store in an area where the customers would be in a lower income bracket, they would be less likely to buy them out even at this low price. I was right.

I found one last night (Tuesday) at the WalMart in Kingstowne/Alexandria, VA. I was quoted $614 over the phone, but I asked the sales assoc. to ring it up- saying that I saw online it was an in store special- once she came back on the line she said, "Well, youre right! It rang up at $399!" They only had two of them at the time- I took one. She asked me where I heard about that price because it wasnt advertised in the store at all- even to employees. In fact they didnt even have this model on display at the time. I wonder if they are phasing it out? Anyway, it looks great, set it up last night and I love it! I did buy the extended plan, just in case.

None in Canton, MI Wallyworld

Picked one up in Spokane, WA. Nice set for the bedroom, great price for the features.

Don't know where your getting that info from - as far as im concerned and the many reviews of Phillips-Magnavox, id take it over any comparable Samsung, Sharp, Pioneer, and Toshiba TV. But hey, we all have our preferences.

LMAO, that would make one of you. Even better was the poster commenting that Magnavox is made by Philips, like that supposedly improves anything. HA HA!!

If it's associated to Philips, it's crap. Sorry.

This may be a good price on a 32" LCD, but let's not get carried away and delusional of the quality to price ratio. There is absolutely zero comparision between this and a Samsung, Sharp, Pioneer or Toshiba set. All of those will blow this set away, PERIOD.
