Vizio 80" TV Costco 10/3-10/27

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
I saw a 50" plasma at Costco for like $800 after MFR... pretty good.. gonna pick that up on the way home tonight.
 
Personally, I wouldn't buying anything over 70" in 1080p.

At those sizes, you should be thinking about 4k, better resolution, better picture.

I think my next one will either be a 65 or 70 and then when 4k prices come down, I'll look at an 80".
 
I second Sharp.

I don't think many people feel Sharp is a good brand because Sony and Samsung have that "premium" feel about them... but it is one of the 3 "S" brands and they often source from each other for the panels. The other brand I would put with the 3 S'es (Si?) is LG.

Then Vizio... and then the rest (TCL, RCA, Westingouse etc).

@Tyler: Was your Aquos a Quattron model? I'd like to know if the yellow helps with the picture.
 
LG is the manufacturer of Vizio's LCD screens.

Vizio is a solid mid level brand.  Good qpr (quality/price ratio).  It'll get you 90% of the way there to the very best picture.  That extra 10% will cost you dearly, but for some ppl (myself included), it's worth it.

Fwiw, I would get that TV professionally calibrated.  By that I mean a real pro like the guys that do it for a living and are certified, not geek squad from BB.  It'll make a world of difference and well worth the $500-700.  A calibration disc and using your eyes is ok and better than nothing, but you won't be able to change grey scale and other internal hidden settings.
 
I guess it's time for a new TV for me.  My nephew "accidentally" threw something at my Samsung...  >:(

Need a 50" - 55" Flat Screen for my living room, any recommendations?  Not trying to break the bank here!

Yeah, this is the same nephew that messed up my lineup!  Love the little guy!

Really? 60" TV for less than $1k?  Could you recommend me some IHO?
 
Check the latest Fry's ads (tomorrow a new one comes out).

It may not show the brand but it will usually be an LG.

At Costco and Best Buy, they have Sammys for less than $1k I think... here's a BB link:

SoCal's Parenting Tip of the Day: Hang Plexiglass over your TV screen!

When we bought our tv, first thing we did is make a trip to Home Depot, had them cut the plexiglass to size, took it home and drilled a hole it each top corner, hung it with fishing line (it's very strong, very thin and clear), secured it around some screws in the back of the tv for wall-mounting. Voila! Protected and looked fine. Didn't even notice while while watching TV. We were wisely warned by a friend whose son threw a stainless steel utensil at his TV - his was not protected but his replacement TV is now. Do this before Baby throws a Wii remote at your next TV, Homer!
