Default U have a sweet 40" or 42" LCD?

I have been working the OT and decided to finally throw down on a new TV. I have been looking online and initially was leaning towards a 42" Vizio 1080p at Costco for $1,200. Now I am thinking maybe a 40" Samsung for $1,600. Anybody have one in these sizes to recommend ???

I have the 42 inch Vizio, it's $1099.00 if you buy it in the store. It's the best price you'll see on a 1080p TV and the picture is amazing, makes a great bedroom TV.

Nice....I read somewhere that they are made with the same components that are in LG screens. Did you get a home theater in a box to go with yours? Yours come from Costco then?

Yeah, I got it from Costco, the built in speakers leave a lot to be desired (of course) so adding alternate sound is something you'll want to do.

well from reviewers, Sony is top of the line right now - even tho price/product ratio sucks..

why buy from brick and mortar? unless you need it "today" - check it out http://cgi.ebay.com/42-Vizio-VU42LF-...QQcmdZViewItem

but sharp is the top 3rd on the top ten list - here is the best price i've seen that has the highest feedback, http://cgi.ebay.com/SHARP-AQUOS-42-L...QQcmdZViewItem

here is my reviewer - http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/

just helping you out do your research a bit before you jump in - it's nice to get the best tv for your buck.

I have the Bravia from Sony for the main TV but if price is a concern that ain't the one you want. Like I said, the Vizio is a great bedroom TV.

Every Bravia that I have seen has had an awesome picture that is for sure. I still may spend the extra for one...at most I am thinking of going 16ish. I will have to see the Vizio's picture in the store before I can decide.
