It's a Proscan. Just some no-name junk. But if you want a decent sized tv for cheap then here ya go:

The reviews seem pretty decent actually. Also Costco extends the warranty to 2 years so that's a little more piece of mind I guess. :dunno:

ProScan has been around a long time. We had a 32" CRT that lasted for years.

Proscan was apparently a former RCA brand but has since been sold off.

So yeah, I bought one. I sold my old 27" Sony Wega to my ex when I moved out. Call me a cheapskate but with all the crap I need to buy for this new apartment I figured I'd start with the cheapest tv and take advantage of Costco's return policy if needed.
