This one looks pretty decent for the price. Anyone have one? Just got a home so not trying to spend a ton. what are your thoughts? No interest until 2009, and it comes with free shipping and a DVD player. ---

seems sort of expensive for a 720, although it is a 50". Not too shabby IMO ---

I don’t think I’d spend $1500 on a “Vizio”, any more than I’d spend $8000 on a Daewoo. ---

Vizio is so-so. Spend a little more and get a Samsung or Panasonic though. I picked up a 42" Panasonic a few months ago and love it. Terry ---

According to consumer reports,vizio has a high repair rate on LCD/Plasma TV’s,along with dell. If i was going to buy a LCD/Plasma it would be a sony or sharp.Some JVC’s look promising as well. On a budget I’d look at Westinghouse or Olevia. ---

bestbuy has a 1080p 42" LCD tv if I remember correctly on sale for like $1500. If you are into BluRay and HD DVDs i would save your money and wait for a 1080 tv. ---

[quote=“Terry,post:14,topic:30494"”] Look at the reviews…Samsung and Panasonic is better than pretty much anything unless you stup up in price and start paying for the name (such as Sony). [/quote] All three run for about the same price at similar specs. It’s not until you get into Sony’s SXRD line where they start to cost more.
