ZeeMek Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I was debating on wether to camp out at BB or CC this BF. I am torn between the Vizio 50" and the Toshiba 50". The Vizio is 200$ cheaper so I was wondering if I could get everyone's opinion on which one to get. If you put brand names aside, which TV would you buy and why?

The Vizio is 200$ cheaper so I was wondering if I could get everyone's opinion on which one to get. If you put brand names aside, which TV would you buy and why?After looking at both TVs, the Vizio looks better than the Toshiba. However, the Panasonic at CC for $1999 looks best!
ZeeMek Posted November 22, 2006 Author Posted November 22, 2006 What panasonic are you referring to for 1999?
RossMAN Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I'm not sure how reliable Toshiba Plasma TV's are but we love our 50" DLP. Panasonic and Pioneer are widely regarded as having the best Plasma TV's but you'll pay extra for those brands. I've seen a few Vizio and Toshiba comparisons on the AVSForums forums.
Mike Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Ive heard that that particular Toshiba has gotten bad reviews. I would personally get the panasonic I think.
ean1879 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 The Panasonic is on the Circuit City ad. But the picture of it is split up between 4 different pages, so it's hard to find. Toshiba outsources their Plasma production and they've went downhill since then. You definately need to see it before even considering buying it.
RossMAN Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Then I wouldn't buy either, I'd go to BB at 4PM and get the Panasonic 42" for $999
ean1879 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Awww Rossman...you can't go from a 50" to a 42". You get 40% more viewing area with a 50"!
Mike Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Awww Rossman...you can't go from a 50" to a 42". You get 40% more viewing area with a 50"!He does have a point though. Bring a friend and get 2 42" pannies instead of the 1 50" at CC. You still spend $2k, but get 2 plasmas instead of one.
cireafan Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Ive heard that that particular Toshiba has gotten bad reviews. I would personally get the panasonic I think.Toshiba plasma TVs are made by Orion (Sansui), generic company.

I for example have a 52" projection and I want a plasma so that I can hang it on the wall. However, I'm not gonna go from a 52 down do a 42". Although the 42" is a tasty price, you have to go for what you want, not just the best deal.
