Vizio LCD and Plasma Tv's how good are they?

Question

I am looking to buy a new TV, i have noticed that i could get a Vizio LCD 42' 1080P for around $900, or a Vizio Plasma 42" 720p for around $750. I was hoping that someone who has one, or sells them could help me out. Are these good tvs? any other suggestions? If you know anything better/cheaper i am looking for anything in between 42"-52".. i can spend up to about $1,500 but would like to keep it around 1000 -anything and everything will help.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Vizio's are incredible TV's.  I spent over 2 grand on mine and regret. I didn't purchase a Vizio at first because I had never heard of that brand.  However, some of my friends have them and they are incredible.  They have great reviews and the people who build them are as anal as the Japanese.  They are a smaller company with less overhead, thus the lower price.  I would definitely recommend a Vizio.  But get LCD, they are more reliable and last longer than Plasma TV's.

I've had a Vizio LCD since last Thanksgiving. It's on the wall and had no problems.

don,t waste your money

Answer 4

1. Plasma - they are very good, and the best for movies and fast action sports.

2.Vizio = third tier, cheap, disposable junk, whether plasma or LCD. The pic isn't bad, for the budget price, BUT read this!! http://www.hdguru.com/your-new-disposabl...

Plasma: If you go plasma, the only intelligent buy is the Panasonic 42", 46" or 50" Viera. Dollar for dollar, this is the very best buy in your budget range, for BOTH performance and reliability.

LCD: In 40" - 52" the top brand for BOTH performance and reliability is Sony Bravia. A little less expensive, but still very good quality, is Toshiba Regza followed, perhaps, by the Sharp Aquos and Samsung.

If you can't afford to buy one of these suggested brands, either wait until you can, or get a smaller screen size. Quality is everything in these very expensive TVs.
