Hi guys!!

I currently have a 56in Sammy 1080p DLP but i'm thinkin about adding a TV to my bedroom. I've noticed Wally world sells a 32in Vizio for around $600 does anyone own this TV or have any recommendation for a good quality tv for around that price??

that is vizio's sweet spot. you can find that on sale for closer to a grand sometimes.

vizios make great second tvs. I have 1 in the bedroom. their contrast isn't good so dark scenes will look very flat, but everything else is good. I bought my 32'' refurbished for $400.

visio is not that reliable. a few friends bought them, and they failed after a year or so. now they cannot get it repaired.

You get what you pay for.

I have two one as the primary tv in the living room and the 32" in my master. As far as them failing this is the first I've heard of it they should have bought them at costco for the extra year warranty.

yes wal-mart offers 2 years for $50. seems like a good deal but i'm sure its super limited.

I've had my 32" in the bedroom bought at Costco for more than a year now. No issues. No problems.

They don't have the PQ of the major brands especially in the contrast area, but once calibrated they do produce a very good picture.

I also own a Sony KV-34XBR800 for my main set and would replace that with another Sony....another XBR if I was going to, but no hesitation on my part to save some money and buy another Vizio.
