I’ve read mixed reviews about Vizio in general. I really want them to succeed (esp since a Costco brand), but for LCD I would only buy Sony and for plasma I would only buy Panasonic. (I’ve owned and returned two Samsungs and one Westinghouse.) I’ve bought (for family) two Sony LCDs and one Panasonic plasma. I currently own a Panasonic plasma.
At CES in January 2009, Vizio caused quite the commotion by saying their 55″ LED LCD (VF551XVT) would be priced at $1999, they also said it would be out in June.
