JUST PURCHASED A VIZIO 37" HDTV WAS SO EASY TO CONNECT AND THEY HAVE A TEC.SUPPORT TO CALL IF HELP NEED. THE PICTURE IS CLEAR AND THE PRICE WAS GREAT.2 YR.WARRINTY IN THE SERVICE.LOOKING TO BUY SOME THING MADE IN THE USA .THEN THIS IS THE ONE.

I just took my vizio 50" plasma tv to the dump because there weren't any parts available to fix it,so i bought a different brand. (the vizio only lasted a year and a half)

Purchased a new Vizio 46" several months ago. The picture was not clear and was distorted.The sound system sounded tinty and fuzzy. I returned the T.V. which took several months to receive a refund.
I purchased a new 46" Samsung high definition LCD TV which ,in my opinion, is far superior to both Vizio and Sony.

We didn't buy a Visio because of the many comments on the internet of problems getting it repaired. Some said you had to return the set to their Southern Cal office to get it repaired. Some comments also said it's life might not be as long as Samsung, etc.

Check it out on the internet for product remarks before you buy.

I've had a Vizio for about 6 months. No problems at all. The 40 inch screen is the perfect size (for me). The only downside is wishing I had waited for the 1080P .... It's out now and will be the 37 incher for the bedroom........soon.

We have one of the new Visio 50' Plasma TVs and other than the heat it puts out, it's a fantastic TV, almost better than going to the theater! It was really easy to set up. It was good that we got a better deal on it so that we could opt for a larger size, the more expensive companies would have forced us to get something like a 42 inch set and the 8 inches really makes a big difference!

Also I would agree with the other writer to definitely get 1080p vs the 720 for the extra expense.

I also have hooked up an old laptop that is on my wireless network, and my wife and I watch streaming videos on them from internet sites on things like NBC, ABC, CBS in the RGB mode, and it totally rocks! We watch almost as much "internet TV" as regular TV now!

I was amazed to read that Vizio itself has under 100 employees total...Pretty impressive performance for that size of a company!

I'll stick with Sony until they get rid of that big mouth cry baby spokesperson LaDainian Tomlinson, who along with the rest of the San Diego Chargers can dish it out but when they receive it they cry like babies. Any company that would have him represent them I would not trust to stand behind there product.

IF VIZIO IS BASICALLY A MARKETING FACILITY, AND THEY OUTSOURCE THE MANUFACTURING END, IT SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH WARRANTIES WHEN REPAIRS ARE REQUIRED. YOU COULD BE DEALING WITH THIRD PARTIES.

I purchased a Vizio TV for my husband for his birthday last December 18th. Set up wasnt too bad...but, the picture was really fuzzy and distorted(never could get it to adjust properly and it sure didnt look like it did in the store,...EVER!!!), the sound was tinny (even with the Bose entertainment system I purchased to go with it). Then,....three weeks later, it just died...no warning...just went black. When I called Sears to have it serviced...they told me sure...in April. And, there was talk about the replacement parts taking forever to get here. I returned it immediately, and got a Sony Bravia. It is excellent..no problems...great picture...sound is immense hooked up to out Bose system. I would highly recommend the SONY BRAVIA....as for Vizio...yuk!!!!!

I have 3 Vizio TV's...Have had the 37" LCD for about 2 years in the bedroom...Have a 42" LCD in the gameroom and just got a 50" Plasma for the Family room....all 3 with surround sound and couldn't be happier.....just like with any man made product there are gonna be some that have a problem......keep kickin A## Vizio...

Sony for all i care you can take your overpriced sony's of anything and go dump it in the ocean even before it gets to the US. I'm gona buy 7 vizeos tomorrow i hope you will buy vizeo they're just as good as SONY OR BETTER ,..I SAY BETTER. go to any Walmart and look at Vizeos how good the quality is and a much better price, Sony welcome to competition lmao.

Vizio just buys up excess capacity at assembly lines, so to claim they will become Sony is premature. They have shown great marketing ability by the reselling of industry excess, but they have not shown ability with being prime order/manufacturing.

VIZIO is ONE BIG PIECE OF CRAP. CRAP CRAP CRAP

We bought a Vizio last Sept. 5 months later, all the black portions of the screen turned green (ever seen a green baby gorilla?). Vizio's customer support was very good, and they had us send it back to be fixed. Unfortunately, 1 month after we got it back, the black portions turned green again. We shipped it back for a new replacement. Despite the good customer support, we probably wouldn't chance a Vizio again. This TV replaced an Amana that lasted for 25 YEARS....

Yea! Just go ahead and buy that Visio. If that $1500.00 wonder breaks out of warranty, just throw it away & buy a new one. Afterall, what's the problem? It's just money. Who cares that few if any inexpensive parts are available and repairs under $150 could be practicle if only Visio was commited / obligated to providing parts & servicibility after the warranty expires. Oh yea, let's discuss electronics made in China.......

I have had no first hand experiance with a vizio, but it seems to me its a lower end TV. However, I have a samsung DLP TV, cost me 3200 at C.C and it has been nothing to write home about, makes me wonder if its even wise to spend the big money for the big names or not. as one said, I think there are lemons in every group/manufacturer.

I have asked two large sellers of lcd tv's which one they have returned the most and they say the Visco.
RoudMan

this is one of the worse companies ever. no customer service at all. wouldn't buy anything else from them

I have a 50" Sony plasma one and a half years old sitting on my deck that blew out. What a piece of CRAP! I replaced with Visio 47" lcd 1080p that that piece of junk Sony never had a picture nowhere near this picture. They can keep Sony in China. Visio is awesome!

Dell shoots up after CEO buys $100 million in stock

Is there any truth to the rumor around the Dell campus is Michael Dell is planning on taking the company private soon? Also, heard he is working with foreign venture capitalist to try and pull it off.
