Vizio HD plasmas & LCDs
I saw an ad for Vizio LCDs and plasmas available through Costco and Sam's Club. When I went to Costco, I saw the 42" HD plasma is selling for $1300 with stand.
Now, I'm surprised that the only mentions of these panels this forum are in passing and pretty negative in nature. Usually the mention of a Vizio is followed up with something like "The Panny is your best choice".
I've found reviews for these panels on cnet and other sites that lead me to believe they're worthwhile. Same pros and cons as most other budgets out there, as far as I can tell. So why would an expert reviewer for cnet give a decent review, 35 user opinions collectively rate it even higher, and still all I can find on here is basically 'naa - don't get it.. pay $700 more for this other budget plasma'?
I don't have any allegiance to Vizio or anything, nor do I have problems with any other brand, but normally cnet is a good guiding source. If a product is wishy-washy or prone to being a dud, that'll usually show up in the cnet review and even more so in the user opinions.
Someone please enlighten me.
