It's true. Next time get a first string LCD(Sony, Samsung) or Plasma(Panasonic, Pioneer).

yeah, if ya got the bank...
there are a lot of cheap gamers out here, and that have options too.
Vizio cant keep up with Sony's quality displays and you get what you pay for.

you will have to play to see. It just looks so much better on a Sony  than any Vizio. I have both and play on both. Hard to pass up the price of a Vizio when you some many other "things" putting their dirty paws in you wallet...

Vizio's are fine, the only people who are trashing are those that are made they  paid 1000 more for their tv and aren't seeing a difference

That is it right there Shocker...You hit the nail and not the thumb.
If you are coming from tube to lcd/plasma then any (most any) will look a lot better. BUT as you dig deeper you shall see just what that extra "1000 more" gets ya...

My Vizio looks better than my Samsung...The 1000 isn't worth a difference I won't notice.

wow, a lot of stuck up dudes on here. for the money, vizio is great. and uh, i played cod4 at my friends house on a bravia 42", and it looked slightly better (brighter and better blacks) than mine (vizio 37"). 


anyone who pays that much attention is way too anal. it looks great don't listen to these ignorant remarks.

seriously, as far as pricing goes, spending 600-700 on a 1080i 37" vizio aint bad. how does spending a $1000 more make sense for the same size tv thats slightly brighter, better contrast ratio, and maybe the almost unnoticeable higher res?? its not worth that much more money at all. 


btw, i live in philly, and in the Comcast Center (the newest sky scraper here) they have a massive hdtv, that is the worlds HIGHEST definition, and its the only tv screen like it in the world. im going to post this in a new thread, its that cool.

My Sharp Aquos doesn't have much of a visual difference over other TV's I have played on. While slightly better, it's not worth throwing out the money unless you're insecure..

My brother is a cable guy and he says Vizio is fine. He sees a lot of TVs a day so I'll take his word for it.

Of course it's not going to be the same quality.  It's marketed as a bargain set.  For the consumer who has a tight wallet (which is most of us) it's a steal.  I work at a production house and I constantly see the latest HD sets.  I am TRYING to save for a higher grade Sony (the KURO) but the costs for someone on a budget are a bit much.  If it comes down to it I may break down and just get a Vizio.  Yes it's lower quality, but it's the only HD set I know of for that price.

I use a Panasonic LCD and it works amazingly well.
