ZeeMek Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I researched it on the web and it gets great reviews, what is everyone else's thoughts on it? I am going to be camped out at CC rather then BB just to get a 50" plasma this cheap. I looked on the forums and there isn't really any talk about it. Is it a good deal, or am I just stupid and it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Well, its got a $200 MIR which isn't that bad, but I would go with the Panasonic 50" for $2k. I think it's a better deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeMek Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 For arguements sake, would you or anyone like to defend the fact that the Panasonic is worth 1000$ more then the Vizio. I really want to know why you would be willing to pay more. (Besides Name) I found Vizio price to be 1499$ and Panny is 2499$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I would pay more just for the name by itself. Im not paying more for the little panasonic logo. Im paying becuase I know panasonic plasmas are tried and tested. While the Vizio is getting good reviews now, what about 3-4 years down the road. They havn't been out long enough. On paper, the 2 are quite comprable...just don't know how each will hold up in the long run. That said, you probably get get the Vizio covered for an extra 5 years for the same price of the Panasonic which would only have a 1 year warranty (2 if you have a good CC). I can't say for certain the the Panasonic is worth more, but I think I would still pay more for it. As irrational as that sounds, I just don't fully trust the Vizio yet.

ZeeMek Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 Well said on buying an extended warranty. I was just making sure that I wasn't missing anything on the Panasonic. I will just buy the Vizio + warranty, and try my luck. Thanks for your advice and opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudearino Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'll be going for this TV. Everything I have read is that you can't beat the quality for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
