Default Vizio Tvs - What do you think of them?

How do you guys feel about Vizio HDTVs? I swear every restaurant or club has them. They are really inexpensive compared to other brands. Personally, I don't like them. I think they look cheap and I think people would be happier and have a lot better HD experience with even a Samsung, LG, Sharp, Panasonic, or a Sony.

In my personal opinion they are the Wii's of the tv world. They sell like crazy because of their price, however, you get what you pay for. Don't get me wrong Wii's are great, well great for busniess. If you are working with a small budget then Vizio is a great choice if you need something right then and there. All in all I wouldn't recommend one to anyone but at the same time I wouldn't call them a bad choice.

Default Vizio

I dont know much about HDTV's but I own a Vizio 50' Plasma HDTV. I have had it for a year and a half and its great. I dont know how it compares to other brands but for me the PQ is great. The SQ is not all that but I have a surround system from Panasonic which is great.

I got a 42" Vizio because I was on a budget, but it's been giving me problems for awhile now. Luckily I got it from Costco right before they changed their return policy and I won't fell bad for returning it because I've been having legititmate issues with it.

I would just buy neither...

I don't want to support Toshiba in any way...or anything supporting Red..

I want all my movies to come out on Blu and asap...so they lose any potential money coming from me..

as far as Vizio goes...I just don't know about them yet...

people seem to like them, but I don't like going with new companies that are not a subsidiary of a major one...

Kidding right? Hope so... I'm sure LT has some 80" plasma in his house. Not a Vizio.

wow I really agree with that lol, the wii's of hdtv's, I don't have any problem with people buying what they can afford so if that's your budget do it big but I would personally save until I could go with a different brand
