I have a 46" vizio and a 40" samsung. while the samsung is a better picture, the without being next to eachother the vizio is a decent TV. contrast ration wasnt the tops which doesnt give it that sharp picture, but all around its a great TV for the cash ---

I own a 50 Plasma and a 37 LCD. HD looks great, SD is sub par. For the $$, it’s hard to argue. ---

I ordered a 42" Phillips that was refurbed and it cost me $700 shipped. I am sending it back and had to buy another one. But since I actually own 2 now because I havent returned the one yet you can buy it off me for $700 if you want. I was returning it because there is a crack in one of the speaker covers. The picture is great on the TV. I was actually going to just say fuck it and cancel the 2nd TV order but they had already shipped it when I went to cancel. ---

My parents bought 2 of them. a 32 and 37 inch and paid I think 900 total for both. (One for the garage for when my step dad plays Xbox, and a 2nd one for the living room for when they need to watch 2 tv’s) HD looks nice, SD looks as good as SD can look after watching HD. For the price you really can’t beat it. Obviously you aren’t buying one for elite status but it’s def a decent mid range LCD at a good price. ---

I bought that exact tv 2 months ago and love it. I get all kinds of compliments on the picture quality. I also switched to direct tv which will be installed next friday, cant wait to see the picture in HD. this tv is a great buy, dont let the overpaying haters help you decide!!! ---

honestly, it comes down to the simple fact that you get what you pay for. if your fine with sacrificing picture quality for money in your pocket, thats what your doing. i own a samsung 32" and my mom has a vizio 32", i can tell the difference between the 2, she cant. its very minimal, but theres def a difference in them. ---

the vizio 46 inch LCD is top rated by consumer reports. A friend has the 42 LCD Vizio and its awesome. Only TV ive seen with a better pic is the Samsung. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anyone-own-a-vizio-tv/56535.md?page=2)
