HSN secures coveted exclusive on new Honeywell branded LCDs

Remember that terrible Honeywell LCD reviewed a couple months back? Somehow SOYO and the HSN plan on convincing shut ins across the country that there will be a special debut February 7 as the Altura ML line hits the screen in 32- and 42-inch sizes with an extra long 5 year manufacturers warranty as its distinguishing feature. Who knows, maybe they've corrected the poor blacks, gamma and image processing that plagued the last model. We don't plan on picking up the phone and finding out.

So, according to the article, I can hook up game consoles, etc. with an HDMI cable, or the High Definition Media Interface.
People seriously need to stop calling Xbox X-Box.

I don't see the thermostat; is it on the back side?

Why would Richard Lawler go so low as to make a post like this? First Cnet did the review not engadgetHD and secondly Richard or may we call you Dick missed the fact that HSN debuted the Honeywell ML series TV's not the MLX which Cnet slammed.

And by the way Dick the 2000 42” Honeywell ML that HSN debuted sold-out in a record 22 minuets.

So Dick, leave it to the shut ins to decide that the Honeywell 42” FHD 1080p with 5 HDMI’s inputs and a 5 year warranty and a free HDMI cable was worth $799 with free shipping to there shut in doors for only 4 easy payments of less then $200.

Bababouee has it right on all counts. But I want to add a few more observations. Regarding the Honeywell MLX, Benchmark Reviews gave it a favorable assessment and rating. David Katzmaier (cnet) on the other hand completely omitted any discussion of the 5-Year Warranty. Another inconsistency of Katzmaier is that while demolishing the Honeywell MLX in his commentary, the test results are very good. Katzmaier's problem appears to be that he cannot properly calibrate the TV; so whose problem is that? Since Sharp, Sony and Samsung are all CNET Sponsors, it calls into question Katzmaier's objectivity.

Too bad for Cnet, they have lost their credibility in my opinion
