Re: LCD Prices
Keep an eye on dealnews.com. I got a 42" Visio LCD HDTV (with 2 HDMI inputs) for about $660. Pretty good price for a 42" LCD. Plasma are power hog, so LCD TV's are gaining in popularity, plus they have no burn-in issue, have improved blacks as well as viewing angles and are now pretty good in well-lighted rooms.
Re: LCD Prices
If you guys dont mind buying locally, i would suggest go through craigslist or kijiji. Recently i went on a CRT → LCD crusade for my house and i replaced 3 CRT’s with LCD’s. All of them bought through craigslist. I got
**15" Dell LCD, **1 year old but mint condition (15" in LCD is like 17" in CRT) for $35 cash. The guy wanted to get rid of it quick cuz he just bought a 42" screen.
**17" SOYO DYLM1798 LCD, **mint condition (Originally bought at Office Depot - 8 months warranty remaining at time of purchase) for $100 cash (asking was $120).
**17" NEC 1760VM **LCD, 1 year old, 1 dead pixel on bottom right corner not noticeable at all **$100 **cash (asking was $120).
Just few days ago i spotted a 17" Dell LCD for $80 on craigslist but it was sold by the time i got to the seller.

quality wise how does vizio compare to sony, lg etc?
Re: LCD Prices
From a picture quality standpoint, Visio is fantastic. Especially when you are watching HD channels and upconverted DVD's. I am sure Sony Bravia and LG are also very good. I just find them over-priced. If you like the styling of the set (I got Visio Gallevia line of LCD - you can Google it) and it has all the desired connectivity options, you are all set.
Re: LCD Prices
kewl man, i jave see vizio and like the pic quality and all, just did not know about built quality and all. but u do your due diligence so I dont think hat would have been an issue
