I currently have the LG 42'' LCD and really enjoy it but the Vizio is so huge!!!

I think burn in used to be a problem when games had backgrounds that didn't move and you played them for hours,nowadays the games are pretty much done with that and the background are always changing especially in FPS.We play Tiger Woods,God Of War,GH3 & Buzz on my buddies plasma with no problems.I just have an lcd and had no problems with as well.

I would not hook up a game system to a plasma screen. While the backgrounds in modern games do changed at a very constant rate the health meters, etc stay in the same place at all times.

I've heard that declaration and yet I have still come across examples where burn in is alive and well in both televisions and computer monitors. Go figure I guess?

Buying a Vizio as your key 60inch Plasma centerpiece television is like wanting a great steak and driving to Sizzler.

I've read 3 or 4 different reviews and all of them had a great review for the TV. I personally haven't heard anything bad about the Vizio's.

My wife said no for the longest time. It was "we don't need a new TV". I kept saying we did, since HDTV is better than regular TV. We had a 32" Toshiba.

Then one day, we had to run to Best Buy for something. Up at the front of the store, they had a display with a Plasma screen showing a Star Wars movie. My wife was impresses with the picture quality of the display, and she HATES Star Wars. It laid the groundwork.

Then, one day I said "I want a new TV", and she finally said "Let's go get one today". I was like Holy Crap!!!!! Soon thereafter, we were the owners of a 52" 720p JVC D-ILA RPTV.

I think the upgrade from 720p to 1080p may be a little tougher. Is it wrong for me to hope that the Light Engine breaks? Or that the convergence goes haywire????


p.s. I have my eyes set on a Pioneer Elite KURO... of course, I need a good 2008!!!

I'm also hoping for a good 2008 because I have my eyes on either a Pioneer Kuro as well or a Sony XBR5 or Samsung 81 series.

Right now I'm running a 32" Samsung LN-S3296D which runs 720p. I'm more than ready for 1080p

are you dead set on the Vizio because of the fact that it's 60" for $1900? Or are you more about better overall quality set for around the same $$$ even if it's 50" - 52"?

1080p or nothing bro. Don't settle! If you do you'll only want to upgrade sooner.

i guess I should clarify; the 4280 and 5080 have been d/c. (The non-elite models).

but yeah, I know 1080p or nothing..

but 768p in the bedroom is better than 480i

not only should he say no to Vizio but he's only getting $100 off on a $2000 TV. Plus, it's only 720p and for a 60" television 720p won't look good unless you are sitting a considerable distance away.
