Those Vizio’s just look so bad (picture wise). I guess sometimes your pocket dictates what you must get, I personally would save more money, wait and go for the Sony.
proving once again that low price beats good quality and thereby cementing the fate of the world to become a giant dump 
Are Vizio tv’s that cheap though? I’ve seen panasonic and samsung tv’s cost about the same…and to me they both seem to have a better picture.
edit: there’s a little difference in price…between $50-100 or something
Keep in mind that Vizio is the popular Wal-Mart variety cost-effective set. In otherwords, anyone in america has easy access to purchase one. I agree that even though in terms of brightness the Vizio’s aren’t bad, that they are by far one of the worst LCDs when it comes to pixelation. The price difference isn’t much between the Vizio and a comparable spec Sharp or Samsung. The latter two having infinitely better picture quality.
