BHC Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Not desperate for a new TV, I have a Sony LCD 61" in the family room, but I do want to upgrade and surprised my kids. Been looking at a Vizio 70" LED SmartTV, here is a link to it: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Vizio-70-Class-Razor-LED-2.35-ultra-slim-1080p-120Hz-HDTV-E701i-A3-Smart-TV/21311918 Walmart seems to be the best price, but also know that TVs go down in price between March and April, so I may hold off till then. Seems the Vizio has gotten some great ratings, even in Consumer Reports. Samsung is just a great TV but very expensive. What do you guys have and/or recommend? For those with a Vizio, please give me the pros and cons of it. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makosnax Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I stroll the aisles often and find that the vizio always catches my eye. The picture is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJoe Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We have 5 Vizios from 55 to 37 and have had 0 issues.. Newest one has the smart features but it is hardly used.. >>>>--------------------->> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHC Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Mako, I too compared them, now of course the Samsung is in a class of it's own but so is the price. Looked at Sharp: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sharp-70-Class-LED-1080p-120Hz-HDTV-3.5-ultra-slim-LC70LE640U/20452169 More money, didn't get better reviews then the Vizio, the picture to me seem the same. Looks like I will go with the Vizio, just like to know what others have, or those that own a Vizio. Also searching the internet seems that the screens on the Vizio are LGs, and the company that makes them for Vizio also makes the guts for Panasonic, so good chance the guts of a Vizio are Panasonic Thanks for quick reply JJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I agree with rich. I have a 40 inch Samsung and a 47 inch LG and I like the LG much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer08 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We have 2 vizios, price was right, good quality, no issues at all. Don't have any cons on it. Vizio is also an American company which is rare in consumer electronics, they aren't manufactured here though.

TDaly25 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 50 inch Samsung in the family room and a bunch of Vizios around the house for the kids' gaming. Really tough to beat the picture quality on the Samsung. The Vizios are fine for bedroom TVs and for the kids XBoxes. Excellence, in anything, never occurs by chanceAchieving perfection is impossible. Striving for perfection makes greatness achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outbackeagle Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have Samsung in the living rooms and vizios in the bedrooms. The Samsungs are more expensive and nicer than the Vizios but the Vizios are a better buy in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutting Buck Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Don't even waste your money buying anything else but a Samsung. Samsung & LG are the 2 best quality TV's on the market, I know Vizio's are popular because of their price, but their picture quality, features, and overall quality is not up to par with Samsung or LG. I own an LG and when it goes south I will be getting a Samsung "Your short on ears and long on mouth" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PV216 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 My parents have a vizio and they havent had any issues. Not sure if you have a costco nearby. If you do and youre a member, check out their prices. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

flat9999 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Get a Samsung. Their models have a fairly large price range. Sony isn't bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makosnax Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 My first flat screen was 46" sony bravia , i loved that tv, one day my son got yelled at and took it out on the sreen with a plastic nerf crossbow. Destroyed the tv and it was only like three months old. Maybe thats why i dont like crossbows. I was so pissed off i had to leave the house for a while so nobody got killed.
