We talking bout the world, not the US.

No way Vizio sells the most in THE WORLD...

Dubious

Me too, I think we bought them at the same, when the 42 and 47 just came out.

I have some problems with the automatic input circuit getting stuck when I switch between inputs. I have to unplug it and reboot it about once a week.

Also I think it pixelates too much on football telecasts but it's not a second generation MgHZ.

I have a Pioneer Kuro 50 inch 1080p
Samsung 40 inch LCD 1080p
Dynex 19 inch (for the office)720p

Kuro has the best picture I have seen of any tv I know but I know those LED's will squash my tv soon.

I bought the best available picture and I have been pleased.

Have: Samsung 46" LCD 550

Love it. Had some issues with it recently but with blown caps but after the simple replace its like new.


Had a vizio 32" 1080i Few years back. Had to replace the power board on it. Put it up for sale after wards and upgraded to sammy. Now I don't really trust Samsung either but their new LED LCD's are gorgeous.

It was so hard for me to pay 2K for the Pioneer when a comparable Panny was 1.1K. But now I am so glad I did it.

I've heard good things and bad things about Vizio.
As far as best reviewed TVs, there are some Vizios that are ranked pretty high.
But as far as bad tvs, there are some that are ranked really low.

Anyone own a Vizio past their warranty?

I know that Vizio was aggressive in their pricing and they were sued by Sony by patent infringements (below)

Sony, VIZIO Reach DTV Patent Agreements

TWICE

Irvine, Calif. - In yet another twist to the long-running patent battles between Vizio and a number of TV makers, Vizio revealed Wednesday that both Sony and Vizio are now licensees under each other's TV patent portfolios.

The agreements settle an intellectual property lawsuit filed by Sony and others a year ago, in which Sony charged Vizio with violations of 14 television patents.

The agreements are also the next in a long-line of legal challenges against Vizio, including Funai's attempts to stop the importation of Vizio products.

Funai, which had acquired certain DTV patents from RCA, sued Vizio and several Asian-based TV makers for patent infringement on elements of ATSC tuning technology.

Fighting back, Vizio then acquired the rights to certain Motorola digital cable TV receiving patents and sued Funai while pursuing agreements from other TV markers - including Sony- that were not previously settled.

In a statement on the action Vizio said: "We are pleased with the result of our patent licensing efforts. It further demonstrates the technical strength and value of Vizio's patent portfolio," said Rob Brinkman, Vizio's operations and administration VP.

Vizio said it continues to expand its intellectual property including the development of new technologies that will be implemented in Vizio's products shipping later this year and beyond.

"Having successfully resolved the disputes, we shall continue to aggressively protect our rights and actively expand Vizio's licensing program. As an owner of patent rights and as a licensee of legitimate patent right held by others, Vizio respects intellectual property and we expect our competitors to do the same," Brinkman added.

In a statement issued Thursday Sony said: "In October 2008, Sony filed litigation against Vizio in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California for infringement of 14 of Sony's patents related to color televisions and PC monitors. The parties have now settled all current patent litigation between them, with Vizio becoming a paying licensee under Sony's patents for color televisions and PC monitors.

"Additionally, under the settlement, during its term, Sony will be licensed under any patents that Vizio purchased this year related to color televisions, as well as any they may own in the future that are related to color televisions or PC monitors," the statement concluded.

Plasmas is not dying out. Though one of the top makers, Pioneer, aren't making them anymore. But Panasonic is and they offer great Plasmas. I have one, 58" 800u THX.
I think what you are reading is that more brick and mortar stores as selling LCDs because they are lighter in weight and have super bright screens that look great in the showroom.

Plasmas don't have image burn in problems much anymore. And you don't even get much "image retention" either. There have been big advances in this. There are pixel orbitors running that even when you don't notice it juggle the pixels to keep the screen from being static.

Plasmas can get hot. Mine gives off some heat. But I think they are getting better each hear with this issue. I don't think it's a big issue though.

One thing I like about my Plasma and plasmas in general is they look great/sharp from every viewing angle and process fast motion sports very well. The downside of Plasmas is they can offer some "glare" in a bright room because of their glass screen. LCDs are good for sunrooms. Plasma good for the basement, viewing room etc.

Just my two cents. =)
