So other than having Steve Nash as their spokesperson, what good is MDG?! 

I am sure a decent number of us in Canada have at least  seen an ad or two on TV or in one of those free newspapers (e.g. Metro) for MDG products. They are essentially the poor-man's Dell Computers. I have never bought anything from them, but I have always been extremely tempted. The their prices are extremely low.

And there in lies the problem. The low-low prices I think can be a double edged blade. It's like Wal-mart; after a while people just naturally develop this opinion that the store is too cheap to be good. 

And in the same vain I am somewhat skeptical of MDG. For one thing, the price of their computers and LCD TV's are always dropping. Honestly, every couple of weeks the prices will be lower by $40-$100.  I mean sure it is enticing but after a while it's really going to hurt the company's image. People are going to start to think, is the quality of MDG products that shitty that they have to lower the price constantly? Is no one out there buying anything from MDG?

Secondly, I called their Vancouver branch recently, just on a whim after seeing a 32 LCD TV for only $899. And what type of service do I get? Seems like I was talking to some disgruntled employee who seriously hated his job. The MDG guy seemed to have a grudge against me right off the bat. He was like the soup-Nazi from Seinfeld. Every question I asked was answered with a series of gruff grunts.

Perhaps that's why their units are not flying off the shelves at such low-low prices ... no one can get past the salesperson on the phone!

So I guess this is not really a story and hopefully it's not too much of a rant. It's more of a question I want to put forth to my fellow Sutori goers.

Has anyone out there bought an MDG product? And if so what did you think? Does anyone here own an MDG LCD TV?

I am just wondering if MDG is a great white hype or something more ...
