Which Tyupe TV to buy on my budget
 

Hello,

I have finally set a budget for how much I can spend on a new
television plus extended waranty at $2,500.00.

I can find some 50" Plazma's in this price range. If I went with an LCD
unit I could only get a 37" or an LCD projection at 40".


One of the reasons I am considering a smaller LCD unit is because my
wife had an accidend a few years ago and suffered a terrible head
injury and is still having some trouble with her vision. I think the
non glare screen of the LCD would help her watch TV easier.

I think that the bigger Plazma might offset the benifits of the non
glare LCD but I would probably have to get a cheaper unit made by a
company I have never heard of before like Vizio or Akai.

I anyone has any suggestions to help me work through this, I would be
grateful.

Thanks, David

Before buying an Akai, check the customer ratings. There was one at Circuit
City that had the worst customer rating I had ever see. I went with a 37"
LCD, but have also seen Sony 3LCD projectors that looked decent; about $1800
for the 42 inch. Best price was at Boscov's. The 37 inch Sharps can be had
for less than 2K.

Last December I purchased a 50" Akai plasma from one of the well known
warehouse stores. Not only did it not have the latest technology e.g.
no HDMI input but was of inferior quality. Subsequently I was able to
confirm my evaluation after reading the troubled history of this company
and a number of negative reviews of this product.

I returned the Akai and purchased a 50" Vizio plasma, which currently
sells for $1665. Although there reportedly have been some quality
issues with this product, speaking for myself I believe it is a great
value and I am quite satisfied. While some of the better known brand
TV's are rated superior, I do not feel that paying an additional
$1300-$2000 is justified.

Thanks Tam. I will try to find some customer ratings on the units I am
considering.

Thanks HG.

The 50" Vizio Plazma at Sam's Club is model P50 HDM. It is just a
monitor but I watch all my TV from DirecTV or DVD. They are selling it
for $1,964.76.

I haven't found any reviews of this model on the internet.

My mistake, Sam's price is actually $5.23 less than what I paid. I
suggest you check out Sam's return policy. While you have a standard
manufacturer's warranty, often the warehouse clubs have a liberal return
policy that obviates the need for an extended warranty.



I haven't found any reviews of this model on the internet.

There have been many reviews of this product--almost all favorable.

You most likely are aware that the Vizio is a monitor but since you have
Direct TV, this is not an issue. There are rumors that Vizio is
introducing a 50" plasma w/tuner.

Good luck,

HG

You are right. After I left this note, I tried aagain and googled this
model and found a lot of reviews both magazine and customer. I don't
know what I did wrong last time I tried.

Which store is selling the 50" Vizio plasma for $1665? I've only seen
it at $1999 at the local BJ's, or online in a few places at the same
price...
