I got the Vizio 42 inch 1080P for 999$ during a Costco sale ($200instant off coupon). I upgraded from a standard def 32 CRT.
I love my TV. It doesnt have the 'specs' of the bigger brands but it sure does look damn good when Im watching it in my living room. Xbox 360 games look great too.
And yes my friend has a Sony Bravia-something 1080P 40 incher so I do have something to compare it to. While the Sony looks a bit brighter, its not as big a difference as the specs would have you think. And IMHO, is not worth the extra money and 2 inch smaller size.
Vizio is a great value!
PS360 ftw!
Currently playing..........
