Vizio is cheaper than Samsung, and made in the USA. It's known to be the best bang for your buck brand.

720p is not high enough resolution for a 42" TV. With a 32" you would not be able to tell a significant difference, but you will notice with a 42".

I was told you would only notice a difference on blue ray is that true? They said HD channels in your house were only 720p so even with a higher def. tv you would only see 720p.


That vizio for $538 is a pretty good deal.

Most HD broadcasts (Dish, DirecTV, cable) are upconverted to 1080i or 1080p, so it will look better on a 1080p TV. Also, if you have an upconverting DVD player, it will upconvert to 1080p. The difference in price between a 720p and a 1080p TV is negligible these days, so I would definitely go with the one that will be compatible with the most devices for the longest amount of time. 720p is on its way out.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Insignia...&skuId=9602959

this is the one i'd probably get. I have a 32" insignia and i love it. I wish i had the 360 degree swivel tho. This one also has 120Hz instead of 60Hz. i think this makes the picture better when there's lots of action going on. Kind of like a refresh rate i believe

Here is one for around $600:

Here's one for $598:

If you want to jump through a couple hoops, you can get the same one for $538. This is a heckuva deal:

Just remember one thing, when buying anything electronic, always get the most up to date that you can afford. If you get anything less, it will be out of date in a few years and you will need/want another one.

I'm still kinda behind, we have a 53" RCA HD projection that we bought back in 2005, works good enough for us. The first surround sound system we got was only 400 watts. Don't waste your time on anything less that 800-1,000 watts if you have a decent sized room. Our living room/kitchen, foyer is about 18x26 feet or so. I can rattle the windows pretty good with a nice action flick or war movie!!
