@jagrime2: would appear to me that they have a new set for $499 with free shipping. depending on your perspective a 20% discount for refurb may not be enough. they don't show this model in stock and I didn't compare differences but here's one of them newfangled links that allow you to click and view another site:

looks like there's the same TV 2 spots down for 20 bucks cheaper. that's weird, i wonder why this one is more expensive...

@t3fwd2: Different model numbers one is VO370M and the other is VO37LF; I thought the same thing. Anyone know how the features differ?

bunk, another non-deal deal. Newegg has a nice one at that price and less including shipping:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889237018

Careful though, while Newegg admits that their's is 60Hz, I'd assume this one is too. If you're going to watch action flicks or video game on it, you want at least 120Hz

Correction, the newegg is a 32", but it is NOT refurbished.

Although if you go to a Sears or something like that and get an old Sharp Aquos scratch and dent, you can do much better. Seen it. When it comes to LCD TV's if you are willing to do scratch and dent, I've found B&M are often cheaper.

I'm pretty sure that the human eye can't discern faster than 60 Hz. I think the only reason you'd ever want more than 60 Hz, and 120 Hz, is for 3D. That way the TV can do 60 Hz for each of two images, one for each eye.

@flaeor: wrong. Obviously you've never played any games that required HD or are any good. See a typical CRT monitor refreshes it screen at 120 hz these LCDs refresh at 60Hz which is significantly slower, thus during intense gaming you will notice ghosting in the lcd crystals, which make it look blurry. Some tvs have gaming modes to partially correct this problem. Faster the Hz the clearer the image will look during action scenes or when the crystals need to change.

@fhi08: You are still incorrect. CRT's use raster scanning, while LCD refresh every pixel at the same time. The refresh rate on a TV is different than the response time(more or less equivalent measurement) on an LCD.

Even so, response time is a completely different measurement in an LCD. It's a measurement of the time it takes for a pixel to go black-white-black(rise and fall), instead of a measurement of the time it takes for the CRT to draw an image with an electron beam.

Ghosting on LCDs is caused by high response times, not refresh rates. Gaming mode has nothing to do with ghosting, it's to combat the length of time it takes for the hardware to process the input video signal and translate it to the display.

60hz, 120hz, 240hz. Means nothing for an LCD unless it concerns the backlight(which it never does). The number considered the threshold for ghosting on LCDs is somewhere above 16ms response time. This surpasses that by far, at least as far as the spec indicates.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

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.
