What LCD Tv to Buy?

[Eastside]

I am in the market for a new tv.....want to upgrade to a big screen.......I know nothing about the new flat screen tv's.....my 27 tv is 8yrs old and showing signs of needing replaced...need input on which models have a good picture and are built well and have a good track record of not having problems.

We have a 37" & 42" Visio from Wal Mart. Like them just fine.

I like LG products. Never had a problem with anything they make. Now we have a 46" LED/LCD tv . Great picture and sound. The picture is so detailed and clear I can get within an inch if it playing a blu ray movie and I swear I'm looking through a window at reality.

Just had to replace a Vizio 42" that lasted just 6 years. But it was on 16 hours a day. Not bad at all. Made in the US. I bought another Vizio, but it is a 46", 240Hz refresh rate (wow!!!), and can 3D too. Paid less for it than I did for the 42".

Not the end of the story. Took the 42" apart and found that the power supply was at fault. The guts of these things are all modular - nice! Bought another power supply module for it on eBay for $65/shipped. Popped it in and now it is working too. So now I have two widescreen TVs. One in the radio room and the other in the living room.

Check out the reviews on the Vizio products; they get xlnt reviews. Not bad for an American TV. The cost is affordable too . . .

What kind of warranty did you get?

What is the model # of your Vizio 46?

M3D470KD; about $750.
The high refresh rate is just incredible.
Even old movies and TV shows never looked sooo fine . . .

I just bought a 60" Sharp AQUOS 60" 120Hz LCD TV for under $1000. It had the best picture on the floor by comparison. You guys should be able to get better pricing than I got.
