i bought the 500 series, side by side comparison with the 530 and 550 and 580 series i could not tell the difference. i would have liked the 550 it added a usb port and another hdmi port for only 299 more but since the wife was paying she had the final say… also buy it from sears they had the best deal. 10% off any samsung tv $999 and up. i would have bought it from them but they were out of stock on it and most other models. seems everyone is buying tv’s now.

vizios are the best quality for the price. you could get a 32’’ 1080p for 550. 37’’ for not too much more. samsungs are great tv’s though. good choice

“For the price” is the key there … you take a 1080 vizio and put it next to a 1080 samsung … the different is unreal

exactly, vizio is fine for me. its not “unreal” but there is a difference. just not enough of one for me to spend that money because i dont have it. i agree with you though, samsungs are a nicer overall tv

I’m buying a 32" in the next few days and leaning toward the $550 720p Bravia. The only other brands I’m seriously considering are Panasonic and Samsung. Opinions?
