I'd say they have no right being in business then, lying to people and such. That is some sorry crap right there..... Since marketing or whoever screwed up, they should just pay the man.

said by danclan :42+19=61 looks to me he is still 4" short of what was promised. So a 42" TV and a 23" TV together would have the same screen area as a 65" TV? That's some interesting math (geometry). |

65 diagonal = 57x32 = 1824" square
50 diagonal = 44x25 = 1100" square
42 diagonal = 37x21 = 777" square
26 diagonal = 23x13 = 199" square
19 diagonal = 17x9 = 153" square
So to get the equivalent surface area, assuming a 42" screen, you'd need to add a 50".
Alternatively, you could have 2x42" and 1x26".
The bigger the TV, the more surface area another inch adds. |

Jonesville, MI | Last I knew, they don't count the cabinet size with CRT monitors. Some people get confused because they don't realize the measurement is a diagonal measurement, but I've never seen cabinet size come into play. |

Replies should've ended right after this comment, as should've Charter, for that matter, plain and simple.
Although I have been very satisfied with Charter in my area, this is simply BS!! Here's one time I wouldn't mind seeing some part of the government, whether local, state, or federal, step in and shut them down just for this obviously blatant false advertising.
