So which brand do you think is better. Emerson or Vizio?

Talking out of my ass, BUT I always thought Emerson was shit & I've never heard of Vizio

I got a Vizio for our bedroom... It was a great price, and the picture is actually pretty good... I have no complaints about it at all!

I'll say Emerson.

Although I've never heard of either.

I suspect you're making these brands up as part of a cunning ruse.....

Ummm they sell vizio at Walmart

LG all the waaaaayyyy!!!

I would get the Vizio. They make good monitors and scanners.

My parents got a 56 inch flatscreen vizio from SEARS bout a year and they've had no problem with it and it looks damn sharp. I believe it is a California based company.

I was so impressed with it I went and got a 36 inch for my bedroom. Cost bout 450.00

They sell Emerson at Walmart also. What's the point?

I've read a lot of bad reviews on LG products (mostly appliances).

Hell yeah, I had to order an hdmi cable just to see what the computer would look like and the games on the 36 inch is very impressive.

I'd go for the Vizio over the Emerson. I have a Philips, it's pretty good, no complaints, great picture. (And I got it at Wal-Mart great price! )

Whatever you do, stay the hell away from a plasma of any kind. Go with an LCD if you can. Samsung, Panasonic are really good performers at decent prices. I like my 42" Dell LCD, but my Samsung 50" plasma, although the picture is gorgeous, was already burnt in the first year and I don't turn it on more than once a week.

Yep, the side bars from ESPN HD and the ticker at the bottom of the screen on most news channels now has burned into the screen which OF COURSE is not covered by the $600 extended warranty Best Buy talked me into.

No point... I just dont like walmart.. usually any electronic I or anyone else i know have ever bought from there is crap... But the tv was a flat screen less than $200.00 and was going to be used in my bedroom, so i figured if it lasts a year i got my monies worth..

Actually if you want long life, we have this HUGE ass silver colored PLASTIC star trek lookin Sony that wont die!! I HATE that tv! Heavy as hell too! It can only go in a corner cuz its so deep! His parents got it for us right when flat screens were coming out but could they have gotten us one of those...OHHHH NOOOO.... So it seems i am ungrateful I know, but you dont know my mother-in-law... this is her picture-----> Long story behind the tv...

I love my Samsung LCD 50" in my bedroom. I pay xtra for the HD channels on my satellite, but it's totally worth it. It's like night and day when I use to watch my old Sony 27" in the living room .

Thanks everyone. Once I got down to the store,and started looking at them,I changed my mind,and decided to get the Sony 32" BRAVIA LCD HD.

I think I had that TV.

samsung 3 year warranty!!!

SCNDLS said:

that's weird, we have a panasonic plasma, 7 years old and still going strong!

SCNDLS said:

It doesn't have an "orbit" setting?

ZombieKitten said:

It still looks beautiful when on, but you can see the slight screen burn from the ticker and ESPN's side bars mostly when you turn it off.

Ace said:

On my tv i think you're talking about the "pixel shift" and I use it but it still burned in.

SCNDLS said:

well, we got a 40 inch samsung LCD 2 yrs ago....it started to take longer & longer to turn on...finally it died! since we paid almost $2,000- for it we got it fixed...for $400-

next time i buy a big ticket item...I will buy the extended warranty. or else NOT buy from samsung.

oh yes, i have heard bad things about plasmas too,,like burn in & they generate alot of heat (my LCD does too)
