Answer 2

No, its not its pretty crappy ... really not worth wasting your money on!

Here is a list of what are usually regarded as the ten best LCD brands (in decending order):

Sony, Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba, LG, Mitsubishi, Philips, JVC, Panasonic and Hitachi

Samsung and Sony are the best by far!

I wouldn't recommend getting an: Insignia, Olevia, Westinghouse or Vizio

Stick With Samsung, Sony, or Sharp! .........Yes it's really worth it!!

Answer 3

If you are thinking of buying a Vizio , do yourself a favour and DON'T  BUY ONE.



You will be wasting your money , it WILL break down SOONER rather than later.

Go and buy a Sony or a Samsung instead.

Answer 4

geez! you guys try and help this guy out and put away the knives and handguns. all lcd screens regardless of the brand of tv are made by 2 (thats right 2) companies that sell them to hundreds of other companies to put in their sets. the technology from brand to brand will not vary much at all only the additional stuff like software and such will be much different. however the angry guy has a point that you do get what you pay for in this field. vizio has no real past reputation to go by but that is no reason to stay away from them (they have gotten pretty good reviews xcept some "experts" think that they may be a short lived company since they are selling units faster than they cam make them on account of their low price.) sounds like they are just trying to save consumers a little cash to me. personally, i bought a 46" polaroid (which im happy with) before i was aware of the vizio label, otherwise i wouldve got one of those myself! keep in mind that electronic tech has a tendancy to be out dated quickly so what is $1500 today could very well be -$1000 toworrow.

Answer 5

umm you spent 800 on a vizio instead of 1600 on a sony? a vizio is a sony! vizios are made from sony parts, and very low end ones at that. if your talking about an lcd thats not a flatscreen. thats a flat panel. flat screen tvs are tube tvs with flat screen technology. and no its not a good brand. think of the long term are you going to buy a cheap tv just cause its cheap, from a new company with no track record? i dont think so. remember you get what you pay for. and that goes double for electronics.

do yourself a favor and go buy a samsung!
