Vizio Televisions
-
I heard vizio's are bad & break a lot. But that is just what i Heard.
I plan to get a bigger & better tv (1080P 42"+) but not sure what to go with.
What i got nw, is a 1080i 42" maxent from best buy - and so far so good.

For those looking for a very good, low price unit (720p though) Crosley makes a screen that is an LG Panel and Internals w/ their own outer case...AND comes with a 2 year warranty. If anyone wants pricing, let me know.

Sorry, not from them. I do have a few other options (JVC, Sanyo...and a couple more coming soon) that are 1080p.

I read somewhere that Vizios internals were made by Sony??? Anyone shed some light on this?Also I am still a fan of DLP. Still seems like more TV for the dollar.
A lot of the Vizio's I've seen sold are from Sam's Club & also Wal-Mart.
I heard that they use cheaper internal parts for Wal-Mart products. Is this true?

I was talking to the salesman at Sears, and he said that the ones at Walmart/Sams are mading with lower quality parts and thats why the Vizios sold at Sears are more expensive. Was he just saying that because he just wanted me to buy his idk... But so far i love my LG!!!

I didn't know that Sears was selling Vizio, I didn't even see them there last time I was looking at TVs there.Late Spring/Early Summer I plan to get a bigger TV - so I've been keeping my eye out for them, learning, keeping an eye on the pricing..
one site for some people to check out that I hear that is located out of the cities is....
"www.secondact.com"
Basically refurbished TVs with a full manufacturer warranty with the possibility of purchasing an extended warranty..
I haven't heard anything bad about them yet, but, I have heard good things so far. However, I'm not to sure about spending good $$$ still on something that is refurbished.
But just figured I'd share! -

Vizio is the #1 brand, and yes, Samsung and LG are better, but for the price its aittteee

But this still doesn't prove if the sales person was correct or not.
Is it true? Is there proof that it's true or not true? -

I have a couple store brand displays, happy with both of them. My 34" Insignia widescreen CRT is awesome, albeit very deep, and very heavy (150ish lbs). Can't beat the picture of a good old CRT, plus as an added bonus it does 1080p, which isn't mentioned anywhere in any documentation that comes with it. With a CRT you dont need to worry about contrast ratios or speed, so game on. I also have a 22 inch westinghouse LCD for the internets. It's not the quickest LCD, but its got a good contrast ratio and I don't do any PC gaming really so it works well for me. Point is I've had pretty good experiences with my store brand stuff, your mileage may vary.

I just picked up a 42" Sharp Aquos 1080p LCD and am quite happy with it.
