    Walmart Tries To Pass Off Antique As HDTV

    Shawn spotted Walmart selling an old CRT TV, mislabeling it as an HDTV. He snapped the accompanying incriminating photos and writes:

    Drove into [redacted], CT this past weekend to meet up with a friend, and he needed to pick up a digital picture frame. So we went to Wal-Mart.

    We walked in and it immediately smelled like someone crapped themselves, but I digress.

    While I was skipping through the electronic aisles, I stumbled across a CRT TV. I was like "WHOA. I didn't even know these were still in stock".

    $188. The price was rolled back. Nice.

    But wait. Whats this? 27" LCD HDTV? All the specs line up to the TV in question (stunning 480i resolution)...but it's LCD...HDTV? I think not.

    The mistake is probably exclusive to this Connecticut Walmart, as the website seems to have it right, but if you spot a similar mislabeling drop us a line.
