read/compare the model #(the long one) .... wal-marts and such have a model made just for them (cheaper ??). the specs/looks will be the same, but the model # will be off by one digit. that's how some places get around price matching, they'll only do it for the exact same model ........

Exactly.. This pretty much is exactly why there are different model numbers of the exact same TV.. They no longer have to price match 'cause "the cheaper one ends in CWG while we only sell CWH, Sorry, not the same model." But in reality, they are...

Hopefully that one character doesn't mean that the CWG device is using lesser grade materials than the CWH one.

I wonder if anyone has investigated that with any type of testing?

If there is a difference, its usually cosmetic. Like a different bezel or stand that is sold only in one store.

Or, maybe whats pre-loaded in the software like CinemaNow in Best Buy TV's and Vudu in Walmart TVs.
