  3. Same TV at Costco by brw215 · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Plasma TVs for Video Games?

    The gateway tv is made by acompany called Sampo. This gateway model is the same as the Sampo PME-42S6.

    While gateway's tv includes a tuner, the costco one for the same price includes the expensive (200$) wall mounts which are a must have. Assuming you have a cable box or sattilite, and don't use an anntena you are better off with the costco one.

    The other posts are correct, the monitor is not HDTV it is EDTV (Enchanced definition television) but the picture still rocks. DVDs look very sharp as does the color, these monitors are far better then HD projection models.

  4. Re:$600 is still too much by kaimiike1970 · · Score: 2 · on ZapStation Price Cut, Linux-Only Version

    I don't understand why people just don't buy this thing. I got mine for $149US and it plays mp3's and vcd's and pal and ntsc dvd's. It is also region free... If you spend $150 on this you still have $450 left to purchase a TiVo.

    They are made by a company called Sampo, and are both 720p and 1080i capable, and have vga inputs. They can also do 1024x768@60hz.

    27incher and: 32incher I've found the 27 inch for about 1000 USD, and the 32 for about 1300 or 1400 USD.
