Anybody have any feedback with a Vizio? I am considering buying one
I just got a 32", LCD, 720p Vizio for my bedroom and I love it. It's my first HD, so maybe my standards aren't very high, but I haven't run across any problems with it.

skinsguy - is this the TV?
Toshiba 32HL67 REGZA LCD HDTV - 32", 1366x768, 720p Native, HDMI, ATSC Tuner 32HL67U at TigerDirect.com (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3051988&Sku=T24-3212)
I don't think you did too bad. Has gotten decent user reviews. And since it was not a refurb at TigerDirect, I think you got a good deal on a name brand LCD.
As far as Vizio goes, my parents have a 20 inch Vizio in their bedroom, and they love it. It's worked out quite well for them...
We have a 19inch Polaroid LCD in our kitchen (present from a guy who stayed with us for 6 weeks, since we didn't let him pay rent or utilities), and for what it's worth, it's a decent little TV. Sound isn't that great, but for what we use it for, it's fine.
I figure in the future, we'll replace our bedroom TV and our family room TV (both are Sony flat tube CRTs, one 32 and one 24) with 1080i HDTVs. I was thinking 32 inch Vizio in the bedroom, and a 50 inch (Your name brand here) in the basement.
I've seen 1080i in 37" in eBay for this type of Toshiba. :(

I just ordered a TV from tigerdirect.com. Now, the TV is for my bedroom. It's a Toshiba HD LCD-TV, 32 inch, 720p. I realize that it's not the latest, greatest tv (I really want a 1080p for the living room,) but I figured it would be nice enough for me veggin' out in bed. I've heard some really good reviews on Toshiba LCD TVs, but what do you guys think? Do you think I did ok with this purchase? It was under $700 for this TV, and I figured a 32 inch HD TV under $700 is a pretty good deal, especially for something I'm going to use for the bedroom. What say you?
I dont understand why no one buys a Olevia. I've had mine for about a year now an it works PERFECT. It's a 37 inch 1080i hdtv/computer monitor and I got it for $669.

Also a great brand. If you're wanting a TV for your main viewing machine, it's best to go Sharp, Sony or Samsung. For secondary TVs, you can't beat Toshiba, and then Vizio and Olevia.

Vizio and Olevia are the 2 off name brands that have really come forth to fight the brand name superpowers. If you are willing to try something cheaper, these are the 2 brands most will recommend.
But most audio and videophiles will stick with name brands...

that's a nice deal
I wouldn't mind picking that up just for gaming. My wife would kill me though. We have more TV's than rooms right now. LOL

Sounds like you need a bigger house.

I think I just need to stop upgrading my TVs
Since I moved into my house 2 years ago I've bought 3 of them and I still want to replace my bedroom TV
