I have a one year old Sony 1080p LCD and can't really complain-except for the price.

| budtugley Senior Member One man's trash can be the next man's treasure. 1187 Posts 1/04 | Posted - Sep 14 2007 : 1:49PM It usually costs around $200 to repair a broken TV. That one might be worth the cost, especially if you buy a new one and want to put that one in a different room, or even the garage if you like to watch football games when you're tinkering out there. I like having a big screen 16:9 as well as a CRT 4:3 since some shows look better on the old aspect ratio. I have a 27 inch Sony Trinitron CRT next to my big screen so I can watch 2 sports events simultaneously. It's particularly good this time of year when there are multiple football games worth watching. [Link] |

| HarryWild Member Make me believe 622 Posts 2/05 | Posted - Sep 16 2007 : 3:49AM If you can wait till after the holidays; you get better price and brand new circuitry that is the next generation in picture quality too! [Link] |
| HeyNow Oblivious Gold Star Hey! 5965 Posts 1/03 | Posted - Sep 16 2007 : 3:56AM I'd just as soon get the highest resolution. I have a small room and sit maybe 6 or 8 feet away from the screen. I would think I'd want about the same size you got. [Link] |
| Porn Scout Deactivated User 3735 Posts 10/02 | Posted - Sep 16 2007 : 4:48PM As far as pricing, the 52-inch LCD's all seem to be over $3,000 and then there are additional costs such as cabling, extended warranty, delivery, and taxes. This is why I'm assuming the damage will be in the $4,000 range. What I'm kind of hoping for are big time discounts for the Holidays. I think I read that stores were selling the big screens last year right at cost or below. At that point, maybe my $4,000 can shrink to $3,500. [Link] |

| HarryWild Member Make me believe 622 Posts 2/05 | Posted - Sep 20 2007 : 2:45AM That is the cycle for major consumer electronics in the U.S. for some time now! As more of the Chinese and Twainese brands come into the U.S. marketplace; all the rest of the brand names will reduce their prices to stay competitive. It is very competitive right now and will continue into the holiday season! If you can wait; buy it either after December or after April! Your choice! Most people cannot wait for April if you are a football fan! They go out and by one in January for the SuperBowl! [Link] |
| Roger Herraw Member 415 Posts 2/06 | Posted - Sep 20 2007 : 3:32AM skronker, Vizio's quality control is lackluster at best, I've noticed more than a few comments at AVS and elsewhere from tv repair people, they always say they see a lot of Vizios come in. At least some of the new Vizio's will have Samsung/Sony panels, maybe those will be more reliable. HD projectors look pretty good these days, however the light source technology still isn't there yet, you still have to shell out 3-400 bucks or more every 2-3000 hours, sometimes much sooner than that when they fail prematurely and explode inside the projector, damaging the innards, and even when they don't fail, they get so hot the components inside get scorched. Led and laser sourced projectors are coming in a few years, those will be worth considering. [Link] |

| Harry Joystick Member 740 Posts 8/02 | Posted - Sep 21 2007 : 4:20AM Of course these units are always set to the highest picture settings when they're shipped to stores, and the sales reps never adjust them, but the Samsung looked better than the other units on display. I didn't see the new Aquos though. [Link] |
