Ok, I have to defend fishnrib. We are talking about an
f'ing TV folks.
You sound like a person I know. "It's only a TV. It's only a football game."
When is it ever just a game? So when is it ever just a TV.
I have had many top of the line TV's
in my life from names such as Sony,
So that's top of the line?
Toshiba,
You're starting to lose credibility.
Pioneer,
Yes, they make some nice TV's.
Are any of you really familiar with the guts of
any of these? Many of them share the same f'ing parts
and are basically the same TV minus the name.
That's nice. What's your reason for the f-word so much?
I don't care if the parts are the same. Is the workmanship the same? Probably not.
Obviously
there are exceptions and while Vizio may be a budget brand,
for the price on a 1080p lcd it can't be beat. Do you
have a 3 year warranty on your TV without spending extra
for an extended warranty? Some people don't want to spend
all there hard earned money for a Bravia and for acceptable
quality will purchase a Vizio to save some $. I have
a Toshiba, Sony Bravia and Vizio VU42L. Guess what, my
Vizio replaced my Sony Wega which was a top shelf TV back
in the day.
Good for you. I don't care what parts Vizio has, blah, blah, blah, I've seen them and they look terrible.
It only lasted 9 years before it died, I
still have a Proscan that is 18 years old, no problems.
As do I. I have a Proscan 27", and 3 RCA 27" consoles. They're both made by Thomson Consumer Electronics (a former employer of mine).
I don't know how long the Vizio will last but even if
it succumbs to an early death, I'll take the money I saved
and by a new one. I'll admit, the Bravia picture is better,
but I love my Vizio as well (and it's really not that
much worse to be honest with you). Any f'ing LCD tv will
not display an SD picture well.
I expect my LCD HDTV to display an SD picture just as well as my SDTV does.
Some better than others
but with that said, with a little tuning my SD picture
looks fine! Put this in a little perspective, he loves
his TV and that's fine, he saved some money to get a decent
TV, not a top of the line TV.
Decent? Our opinions differ I believe.
| Now he has more money in
his pocket to do other things or buy some other gadgets!
Like Bose?
He probably has better things to do than sit in front
of his f'ing TV all day and come on these boards and bash
people.
Dude, what's your obsession with f'ing?
I joined this forum just to respond to this post,
and I think I will stick with the more professional forums.
This is the professional forum.
+++++
All we've said is that the Vizio looks like junk. It may be cheap, and you get what you pay for. Nobody's saying to go and get a Pioneer Elite Plasma, but we're just stating our opinions that Vizio looks terrible.
But really, I can't give any credibility to fishnrib because he says he degaussed an LCD TV. Therefore, he obviously has no clue what he's talking about.
