LCD for less than $1200. Recommendations? (1 Viewer)

[clm9]

I am in the market for a 1080p LCD for $1200 or less. I'd like to have as big of one as possible, and in that price range, it looks like 47" is about as much as I can hope for.

If lucky, I may find a closeout or two on a Sharp or JVC model, but those are few and far between. The brands in my price range then fall to Insignia (Best Buy brand), Westinghouse, etc. Any opinions on these lesser brands? I am reading better than average customer reviews on the Insignias.

I figure if I would get one of these brands, I would opt for a 2-4 year extended warranty for peace of mind.

Thoughts and/or suggestions? Thanks!

Here's one that might interest you from the latest Costco Online add:

Vizio
47" 1080P LCD HDTV
Resolution: 1920 X 1080
Contrast Ratio: 2000:1
4 HDMI Inputs

$1,199.99
Item # 470010
Shipping & Handling: $99.99

This one is also available in many Cotsco stores. Vizio warranty is one year but Costco extends that to two years for no additional charge.
