"Proscan used to be the RCA high-end trademark; RCA (at least the TVs) was purchased by Thomson; they leased the proscan name to a Korean outfit that has the TVs made in China. I've never owned a Proscan (post RCA)... but the internet buzz is that they are of inferior quality and that it's virtually impossible to get support in the USA."

I used to sell Proscan(s) and can not recommend them.

I didn't know the history of Proscan, I do know a few people that have proscan tvs and have had no issues. At least coming from Wal-Mart, they have a lenient return policy. Also they sell a 3 year warranty for about $45, so you wouldn't deal with Proscan warranty at all if you purchased that.

@carardenney: Have you ever fought with an extended warranty company?

The only issue I ever had was with a 46" Vizio LCD TV, which quit working during the extended warranty period. I couldn't work with the extended warranty company to reach a time for them to come out and look at it and so I returned it to Sams Club - they happily gave me a full refund 18 months after I purchased the tv.

I have a 32" proscan that I purchased during a woot-off. Works like a charm and I use it almost daily as monitor and TV. This one was only 720P but does the job and the price seemed reasonable. Here is a link to the woot-off item: http://www.woot.com/forums/viewpost.aspx?postid=3758323

I would feel comfortable buying another Proscan.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the obvious about the inferiority of the 60Hz. Some people must be off their game today lol.

@jaredandsandy: I don't see the big deal about only 60Hz. My computer monitor is 60Hz and everything looks fine on it.

@chumbuh1: First of all I was being facetious because there is ALWAYS someone in these discussions raving about how bad 60Hz is. Secondly if you watch action films or any tv show/movie that has a lot of fast moving scenes you'll notice a HUGE difference unless you are legally blind. Just remember that when reading text, you cannot see the emotion it is typed with. Always assume humor if someone is sounding arrogant.

Its a 40" tv for $429, its not a $2400 tv. I think most people would enter this "deal" with reasonable expectations....

I have had this TV for about a year now. No issues whatsoever, and picture is great. Not quite as good as the Pioneer Elite I have at home, but its still good HD, and its 1080p. Certainly not as bad as some of these guys are making it sound, and excellent for this price range. Makes an awesome TV for college. Bought for about $500 at best buy with service plan included.

Proscans may have gotten better, but a few years ago we went thru 4 of them before we got one that worked. They were pretty good about replacing them, although it was extremely tough dealing with the tech support from India. They never even wanted the third TV shipped back. Been there, done that, not doing that ever again...

I have this tv and after a weekend of use i noticed some issues. First off there is a little back lighting problem but is only noticeable on a COMPLETELY black screen. The other problem that happened, there was a ghosting issue when it went from a light colored screen to a black screen. I just switched what RCA ports i was using and the issue went away.

Overall, still the best $429.00 you can spend on a tv and works great(besides the small issues listed above).

@fobie: If you're spending $100 on a tv you should NOT have any issues after just one weekend. I hope you at least took it back & exchanged it!

Im all for buying "off brands" on some items, but when it comes to electronics I'll always choose a well reputable known maker who has great reviews. :-)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
