Re: Rate these tv's

Vizio's higher end models compete with the big boys--Sony, Samsung, Panasonic. It's just that they also have entry level models that most people get and some aren't happy with.

And just for clarification, the absolute best plasmas are Pioneer Kuros. You'll pay a lot but you'll get the best HDTV money can buy.

Then it's Panasonic, Samsung (not their 09 line--had buzzing issues) and LG (love the added features, IMO). Don't know much about Vizio's plasmas though they did make a 32" plasma a year or two ago....don't anymore.

Vizio's 32" Plasma received poor reviews.

Vizio 32 inches in general receive poor reviews. I remember back in my days of working at Walmart in the electronics department, we use to get at least 6 out of every 10 we sold back within 2 weeks.

Granted it Walmart do carry the lesser models of tvs. Which is why I was surprised they had that 55 inch Vizio LED up in there for $2,000 and a 19 inch LED Vizio for $269.

The only decent models of tvs Walmart carry in store is the Samsung models. They have poor models for Sony, Sharp and Phillips. And I wont go near a Haier, Sansui, Emerson, Element or RCA.

Most of the tv's that were available at rock bottom prices on Black Friday were older models, derivatives, or lesser brands. Time will tell how much of a deal some of those were.

I saw one guy buy 5 Dynex 32" LCDs on black friday.

Re: Rate these tv's

Would a computer monitor be an option? If the display is gonna be used mostly for spare gaming, you can get a nice 1080p LCD Monitor in the 24-27 inch range for the price you are looking for.

Most monitors have an HDMI Input so if wanted to add another device (Set Top Box, DVD Player) you could

That's the same thing I would do. I rather a good moniter over a budget tv..

Only caveat would be you're giving up the ATSC/QAM tuner so no OTA HD channels.

And monitors usually have fewer inputs.

Would be a good deal if you don't need those things.
