New Vizio Truled 55 LCD tv

Anybody have one? I saw'em in Sam's Club and they look awesome. Just seeing if anybody has some feedback about'em. I have a 55" rear projection tv and am wanting to get an lcd. Now that I'm used to the 55" I doubt I could get one any smaller.

I understand the popularity of Vizio is through the roof and that would have me running in the opposite direction, just because I'm one of those people. If you really want to get a tv I would highly suggest doing a little bit of research on the model you're after, I'd recommend going over to CNET.com for reviews. I got a Samsung Series 6 LCD after a few hours of research. I liked the fact that I could plug in a hard drive, computer, or plug it into the network to watch videos I download off the internet. It also got high marks on it's overall picture quality.

When getting an LED or LCD one of the most important features will be the refresh rate called Hertz or on paper Hz. You want AT LEAST a 100hz tv and preferably a 200hz tv. 50hz on a LCD or LED will look very choppy. Hope this helps...

I have been looking for reviews on this TV but not found much myself. Thinking about moving my Samsung to a basement tv

I bought a 32" Vizio Plasma last year for a bedroom/second gameday TV and it has been rock solid. I would buy Vizio again

on the Samsung, I have a 46" LCD of theirs that is about 1.5 years old and has started having issues turning on. I have to hit power wait as it boots to sound and no picture. Then turn it off and then back on which will then get me picture and sound. Haven't had time to get it looked at or researched if its a known issue on the Net yet but it has me questioning samsung's quality

I have had a 32in samsung LCD for about three years and it has been great. I plan on sticking with samsung and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great tv.

I agree about the samsungs. Have heard nothing but positives about them. My choices right now are Samsung, LG, Sony Bravia and Vizio. I was just real curious about the Vizio TruLED. It sure looked awesome in the store. And it will fit my (wife's) entertainment center by just millimeters if I cut the rubber feet off the bottom of the stand.

I might have to back down to a 52.

Either way Bama foosball will look great!

Oh yeah! I almost forgot...the vizio was 240hz.

I have two Vizio's and love them. Just got the 55 inch no too long ago, and people are always talking about how good the picture/color quality is. I know people have there preference, but I havn't had any problems with Vizio, knock on wood!
