Anyone have a Vizio LCD TV?

Vizios are good TVs, but they don't have the greatest sound quality, IMO.

 

Bro I have both models. I have the 37" in the living room, and 32" in the garage. Great tv's I have had no problem with them, and I bought them both from Costco. If you have another questions please ask.

 

The 32" in the garage is hooked up to my Yamaha home theater system that I bought 6 years ago, for the extra level of game day.

I am biased to Yamaha so that's all I looked for. Try The last link. J&R.com have real good prices, and also have product that has been repaired very cheap. I bought my second DVD player from them for the garage when the stock one I bought took a dump. It works awesome.

 

Buy Yamaha Home Theater Systems at BizRate

 

No problems with my Vizio 37".

 

Brother in-law has a 42 inch Vizio, very nice tv.

 

Keep checking J&R.com, plus some of the others. This Christmas season is going to be really rough for retailers, so you might catch a good deal. Best of luck bro.

 

Here is a refurbished one.

I prefer Onkyo to Yamaha, but both are very good companies.

I would go with the 37" btw.

 

my grandparents got a 42" 1080p tv from Best Buy for like 6 something...Ill try to find it.

 

Dynex® - 42" 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV - DX-LCD42HD-09

Here it is for 699 and it has a good rating plus you can pick it up so you dont need to pay shipping. Ive seen it used and it has a nice crisp picture.

 

I bought into Ensignia, which is basically BEST-BUY brand. It has been nice, but starting to think I shouldve bought a VISIO. Have a buddy with a larger (Think its a 50" like mine) and for the buck it is very very nice...

Interestingly enough, I have had nothing but VERY GOOD luck on returns from Costco.


ON a sidenote, I dont know how it is where others live, but everty CostCo I have ever been in is completely run by hot-chicks...coeeenkydink? I think NOT!!!!

 

Vizio is a very decent budget brand tv. Not as good as Samsung or Sharp but if you dont want to shell out top of the live cash its what I would get.

 

Cables are very important, but don't buy into hype that best buy/big box stores try and sell you on; that only certain brands of cables will do.

For your cable needs, look no further than www.monoprice.com

Amazing customer service, top quality products, and great prices.

 

The founder and CEO is actually a close family friend from Taiwan. So yes, I think they're good products.

 

What the hell man, do you work there or something?

 

I wish. I could use some speaker mounts.

 

Your local radio shack can help out with some good quality cabling as well. I been there once or twice.

 

True, but they charge you 3 or 4 times what you can find it for online.

 

True, but they come in handy for a quick fix.

 

I bought my wife the 42" for the living room so she could watch the Crying Channel and leave me alone to watch Maverick & Bat Masterson in black and white on $5k worth of HD A/V equip. LOL!.

 

You my friend are living a GOOD GOOD life

 

I got a vizio about 6 weeks ago. The 32 lcd doesnt have any RCA audio output. It only has optical output for audio. Make sure your sound system accepts that. Mine didnt, mine Philips dvd/surround sound system only takes RCA.



P.S. Thanks Pete for that link. I've been looking for a good price on this adapter. link

 

Every day above ground, is a good day!

BTW, that post was in no way intended to be boastful. More a condemnation on todays broadcast content.

You know what they say about a fool and his money. lol

I've always been a tech junkie for A/V equipment. Even before the long awaited marriage between the two. I can remember discovering (in the late 60s) that if I tuned my parents old Curtis Mathis console receiver to 88kh fm, I could pick up TV channel 6 CBS out of Orlando and listen to decent quality audio while watching the TV broadcast.

 

What sound are outputting from the tv, just over the air channels?
