    What about Vizio TVs?

    Thanks guys. I guess you really do get what you pay for in the long run. Already had a 42" Sony from a couple of years ago and had no problems at all. Was in the local China-mart and saw the Vizio with a low price and.... Anyhow I reckon I'll stick with the Sony's. You guys are the best. Jim
