CE on the Cheap: Are You Really Saving?On second thought, maybe that Costco TV wasn't such a good idea after all.
Resourceful consumers think they’re saving a lot of money when they discover cheap alternatives to traditional CE products and services.
But are they really getting a good deal?
Here are some presumed money savers that might not be such good ideas after all:
Costco TVs
Ooh, it’s so tempting to pick up one of those Mitsubishi, Panasonic or Samsung bigscreens on the cheap. But look closely. Despite the name brands, many of these TVs have limited functionality for control.
For instance, they may lack discrete IR codes. That means you’ll have a very tough time operating them with a universal remote control. The controller won’t know if a TV is on or off, so it could get messy.
CE Online
A couple of caveats on the online buying thing. There certainly are some reputable resellers, but others are not authorized by the manufacture to sell their TVs, loudspeakers and other electronics online.

You're a professional business running a magazine. You should know that it's "manufacturer," not "manufacture."
Also, "some money savers" should be followed by more than one thing, and each thing should be a definite item, not a category.
You list two categories after "some money savers," Costco TVs and CE Online. You are saying that you are not saving money with Costco TVs and with CE Online, since CE Online is one of the things you list.

I have ACTUALLY said this a thousand times: We can't help you much without the make and model of everything involved in the problem! Unless you want a vague answer. Or none. Your move. |
