42" Apex HD???

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Ad in the local paper for:

"TV: 42" Apex H.D., one year old"

Assuming the "h.d." means high def (what else could it be?), the asking
price (or B/O) is very solid...

BUT! I can't find any info online about an Apex 42" TV....HD or
otherwise....

And yes, I tried google...closest I have found so far is a 43" rear
projection review, but I think that was pretty old...I am assuming Apex
means Apex Digital, and their own website doesn't even show a TV or HDTV LCD
over 30"...also, I vaugely remember reading a review or two somewhere that
states that Apex is usually junk, but it may have been a review for Akai
(sp?)

SO, anyone out there with any experience with the "42" Apex H.D." or what it
might be ???

My only experiance comes from remotes for my 20 TV.
My Dish remotes, JVC, SONY, Sanyo and One-For-All universal remotes all
DO NOT list Apex TV codes. Meaning, break the OEM remote - by another
OEM remote - if it exists. Meaning - you are married to using Apex TV
remotes - nothing else works. Sad to say.......

www.worldwideelec.com/apex may still be a viable site?? Like their product
support that may also be non-functional.
