HAOLE Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I just bought a Vizo at Walmart for my office. I am happy with it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Good to hear. I've read tons of positive reviews on this one. I got in on wallyworld.com and paid over $50 less than what they were charging in-store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug1647545489 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Sweet. I picked up a Westy 42" 1080P really cheap a month ago. Football looks great on it. Now I just need a PS3 so I can take full advantage of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Here's the room/area where the tv will end up being wall mounted. Have to get rid of the HUGE entertainment center still and come up with a setup for my components. Also, the floor standing speakers will be going away as well once my sub arrives. Old 32" Standard TV http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/TV/DSCN4574.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/TV/DSCN4572.jpg And I couldn't resist taking it out of the box and making sure it worked properly. Recognized 66 HD channels with no HD box. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/TV/DSCN4577.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/TV/DSCN4579.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 A friends of mine works for a Armstrong cable here in town and he told me not to buy a Vizio because the picture is junk but everytime i have looked at one they seem to look great to me and the price is in my range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the unit I bought is for work use so, that is not as important to me. At home I have a 50' 1080 Samsung... I did a lot of research on that one and it has a great picture.

SpaceGhost Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Recognized 66 HD channels with no HD box. What Cable provider do you have and what 66 channels did it pick up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 +1 I had been researching for about 3 weeks before I finally chose. I've read literally 100's of reviews and other than a 42" LG 1080p that Sears had for $1099 (that wasn't in stock in the entire country), I couldn't find a better deal than the $899 I paid for this one.

morabu Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I agree i dont see any problems with quality construction or picture there isn't a problem with Vizio's they are quality made, they just sell at a super small mark-up and sell buttloads, that's how they make their profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting the links. follow up with this if yuo have any problems or not. Definitely will. Will probably take some pictures during the install process. Have to come up with an entertainment center to house everything, so hopefully it'll look pretty nice once it's all completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
