Recently me and my girlfriend have had to come up with a solution to our "tv hogging" problem. I have a 37 inch Sharp Aquos 64 series hooked up with my PC, but whenever I wanted to play my PS3 or anything else, I have had to compromise to a great deal as at the moment she spends most of her time at home (temporary health issues), and consequently most of that time on the computer watching documentaries or her daytime shows. So I decided to buy a second LCD to put in the bedroom so I can play my games whenever I want to.

The other day I was surfing and came across this television by accident. After researching it and reading over 150 reviews both on the site and other sites, I was floored. I do not recall ever having found ONE negative review! The next day I went out and bought it for literally 1/3 of the price my Aquos cost 2 years ago ($500 vs. $1500), and yet the picture quality and number of features is even SUPERIOR, and its 120hz. I had to put it on hold because its been selling so well that every retailer I contacted literally couldn't keep up. It's just a shame that this company does nopt have greater market visibility (despite being labelled as America's #1 LCD TV maker). Yeah, I was skeptically about the brand, but my research has shown me that they are SOLID. I highly recommend this one for anybody looking for premium quality with a budget price:

I'd be interested in hearing other peoples' experiences with this particular model and/or brand. Personally, I'm 3 days into owning it and I find the image quality to be INSANE, even when compared to every other HDTV I have examined!

God of War 3 never looked this good even on my 64 series Aquos!

Vizio is kind of like Daynex in that you have never heard of it, but Daynex is garbage. I heard that Vizio makes really good TVs and for less $.

They aren't too bad my mom bought one last year. The picture is okay (better than SD by far) but nowhere close to my Bravia. The sound however is far below par. The only problem I have with my Bravia is that without surround sound the volume has to be turned up to 25%, however, with my mom's Vizio the sound has to be up more than half-way and the sound quality is terrible.

TC it's an ok TV for picture but you'll definitely want to get surround sound.

Yep you're right. They are better than sd but not better than bravias, samsungs and lg. If you put a vizio side by side with a bravia or samsung TV you will see it doesn't have great colors. As for the quality of the speakers, that's one of the newest problems, a lot of tvs from well know brands are cheaper than before but they come with very cheap speakers compare to older models. I have a Bravia i bought way back when i got my PS3 and it sound great with the volume set from 18 and up. Some older models came with two 10W peakers and know most of them came with tow 5W speakers.
