Would You Buy a KISS-Branded TV?

Would you buy a KISS-branded TV? Roundtable Concepts is betting that 15,000 fans will. The new KISS LED HDTVs will ship in four sizes ranging from 32-55 inches. But get this - the company is also offering a deal: If a customer buys one of the 55-inch LCD TVs for the retail price of $1,988.88, Roundtable will throw in a 32-inch LCD TV for free. That's actually... not too bad of a deal. Each KISS TV will come with a special "diamond finish" that also includes the official KISS logo. When users turn on the screen, they will be greeted with an image of the band for 8 seconds while the TV boots up.

The LED HDTVs are designed by Roundtable and built through a Chinese OEM partner. The listed specifications include a display resolution of 1,920-by-1,280, brightness of 450 lumens, static contrast of 5000:1, dynamic contrast of 5,000,000:1, and RCA, components, VGA, and HDMI inputs. All feature edge-lit LED lighting.

The 55-inch model includes 240-Hz technology, plus four HDMI, 2 USB, 1 component video, 1 composite video, 1 PC, and 1 RF connector. It also has a pair of 10-watt speakers.
