Do not buy Vizio!!! I bought a Vizo 47 inch TruLed VIA LCD in January 2011. It is now August 2011 and the tv failed. There are many,many stories like this out there. DO NOT BUY NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE PICTURE LOOKS.
If you go to BestBuy or Walmart they have all the TVs set up you can tell the quality is way better on vizio. better colors, picture is way smoother, and colors are more robust. its also the #1 selling TV in United States.
Well said, I have a 42"plasma 720p I owned for 2 years and still is good,also just bought a 37"lcd 1080p for my mom new for $450.00 otd!!!I just bought a 47"vizio model v047l lcd 1080p for $Amazing price plus tax at Sams Club clearance item,unbelievable!!!My brother has an Olevia line 47"lcd for two years and is fantastic!!!
I can honestly say vizio is one of the better brands. I've had my tv for about 4 months now and have not had a single problem, ( it stays on 8+ hours a day. ) I have the Vizio VA22L, 22 inch 1080p LCD. I can personally say the screen quality is that of a monitor, ASTOUNDING. I actually use the tv as my monitor and it is freaking crazy how good it looks. I also play my 360 with this TV. In all, one of the best, if not the best tv's for the price ( 200$ - 250$ )
usually when 2 televisions with the same specs are priced differently ur paying for more for the brand name...sony tvs cost more in most stores because sony does not want to pay the taxes..most other tvs for sale in most stores the brand pays the taxes so the tv price goes down abit....no matter what brand of tv u buy..it can still break...all electronics can break...idk much about vizio to give an opinion..just that u shouldnt judge an applicance by its price
No, Sony and Samsung have a joint venture manufacturing LCD panels (this joint venture is called S-LCD, which Samsung owns 51% and Sony owns 49%), but not the whole television itself.
In addition, this joint venture was put in jeopardy when Sony started a venture with Sharp.
Sony still designs and manufactures their own models.
In addition, it's not just that their quality is inferior, it's how they treat the customer when an issue pops up.
Read up reviews and "the Vizio pop of death."
Vizio is trash.
They don't design their own TVs, they don't make their own TVs, and they do not have a service infrastructure that will help you with your TV down the road.
Stick with a well-established brand.
Although you should find the best value for your money, keep in mind that the lowest priced offering is not necessarily the best value.
