zooskoo Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Sams Club has a new "repaired" 42" Vizio HD LCD tv for $768. I'm very tempted due to the price. I'm looking for something for a bedroom, so don't need surround sound, etc. I will want to connect my dvd, dvr, and satellite to it. Does anyone have any experience with Vizio? The person working there told me it most likely was returned because someone did not know how to hook it up, so they send it out to have it checked and then have to sell at a reduced cost. Not quite sure I bought that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeXXaS Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Coincidentally, I work at Sam's Club and Vizios are really popular. I did research on them and they're gotten excellent reviews. They use some Sony components and if you buy it from Sam's, you can return it if it ever goes bad (as long as you keep your receipt). I have a 46" Vizio LCD and it's been great. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixie423 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 We have a 52 in Vizio we bought from sam's club and I think it's great. For the price they are excellent TV's. When we were shopping we were planning on a samsung till we saw the Vizio next to it and the picture quality looked so much alike, but the price difference is what sold us. I say go for it!

lynn421 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 We just bought a 37" visio from Sam's for our bedroom. It's nice. Good picture quality and sound. For the price, we couldn't pass it up! ($798). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooskoo Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks--I think we'll go for it. Now I just hope it's still there. Will be there when they open today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I am tempted to go and see if my Sams has one - a nice 42" LCD in the bedroom sounds like a great idea! If only my wife would agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixie423 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Did you get it? :) We're looking into getting another one for the bedroom too, but I'm afraid if we do we'll never get out of bed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neile457 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 check cnet.com. I am an email subscriber, and they have an article today about the differences between off brands (vizio), and name brands (sony). Pretty interesting. I know, that I can't tell the difference.

Trixie423 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 neither can I , it really is a great TV for the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooskoo Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 So far so good. We really like the Vizio. We were trying to decide on a Sony or Samsung when we found the deal on the Vizio. We paid about half the price and so far are very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crue2001 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'm looking for an update on the quality/reliability of the Vizio brand LCD TV's...everyone still loving them so far? We're looking at the 32" Vizio LCD as our tube TV is starting to die a slow and painful death. I'd appreciate any comments on this brand. Thanks in advance!

lynn421 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 We love ours ! It's great in the bedroom. Nice picture quality and sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooskoo Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 We like ours. Depends on what you want it for. Ours is in the bedroom. If you are looking for your main tv and want to add surround sound, etc. a higher priced one may be better. But for the price, I'm satisfied.

Crue2001 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Thanks for your responses! We are looking to replace our main living room/family TV, but don't need surround or anything fancy. Just wanted to go w/flat LCD to avoid glare from the over abundance of light that streams into the room. I've read lots of great things/reviews on the Vizio, but most are only owned a few days to a few weeks when people post their reviews. So, I was hoping as some time has passed to get some additional feedback and make sure everyone is still happy with the quality, no major issues, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1rstclass Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I heard that if you buy them from Sears that the sets are made in America and not somewhere else. This coming from the sales rep that I had talked to when I went by and looked at them. They (sales rep) said that the way to know if they are made is USA or not is to look for the white cabinet on the back of the TV---anyone know if this is true??

mamapenguin Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I have a Vizio in my family room & love it. It's got a Ps3, Wii & surround sound hooked up. It looks & sounds great. Changing my PS3 over to HDMI took a little work, but no biggie. Now I just need a deal to upgrade my satelite DVR receiver. I am already a directv customer, so I haven't found any deals. If anyone knows how I can get an HD/ DVR receiver from them for under $299 I'd be greatful:) Kristy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought---good luck---I think that when you get it you're gonna love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igogoin Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 first, we LOVE our vizio tv. It is our main tv in the living room. It sounds great and has a super picture!! We bought ours at Sams. Second...the dvr question. I am a dish subscriber and wanted to upgrade they said no no no...I kept calling etc....then told them I was going to cancel and go with Direct, the next thing I know I am getting my dvr and only had to pay 19$!! Keep trying...also ask how often you can do upgrades. Dish told me I can request an upgrade again in 6 mos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess7915 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 We've been doing some research on what brand to buy. We were looking at Vizio for awhile but decided not to. Most people "in the know" who work at big screen stores (not best buy etc.) will tell you that Vizio isn't terrible quality for the money but all in all they are made pretty cheap and won't last. You're picture quality is going to be pretty lousy in about a year. So we've decided to wait a little longer a until we're ready to pluck down the big $$ for a bravio or an aquos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams_chris Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Ive purchased 2 42" and 2 37" and been happy with them. HD looks great on them and also our upconverting dvd players. Cant wait to see how low they will go on Black Friday :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamapenguin Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 It sounds like those people "in the know" probably work on commission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
