Should I buy a Vizio Plasma HDTV?
I am debating between paying more money for a Samsung or Panasonic 50" Plasma, but the Vizio's price is a lot better, while the specs are comparable. Should I buy the "off-brand", or is there enough good reviews for Vizio to go with it?
Pay the extra $200-$300 and get the Panasonic! I've seen them side by side, with the same input, and the Panasonic was a hands down winner. See the reviews in the 03/07 issue of Consumer Reports and at www.Plasmatvbuyingguide.com.
Vizio has initial "bang for the buck," but if/when you have a problem, are you going to be able to get parts for it to get it repaired, or even someone close to do warranty work? Per a couple of TV repair guy here, that's problematic, at best.
