High Def Lcd Tvs

Any opinions on High Def LCD Tv's in the 46-52" range. I was told Samsung has taken over Sony's spot on number of high quality units sold and they are a few hundred dollars less. Just looking for everyone's opinions. Probably won't pull the trigger until after Christmas.

I have bought two Vizio's . One a 37" LCD 720 P and one 46" 1080 p LCD. I am very pleased with both in terms of price and quality. Both have excellent picture quality and very user friendly. In my opinion the price were the best value on the market. I did a web search for user comments and found only one bad review. I have had the 37 " for a year and no problems at all. It is approx $700 ant wallie world and the 46 is around 1200, for just a nominal amount you can also get a two year extended waranttee. I was told they were assembled in America but am not sure of that.

From their web site:

VIZIO, Inc. "Where Vision Meets Value," headquartered in Irvine, California, is America’s fastest-growing HDTV and consumer electronics company. In only a few short years, VIZIO quickly skyrocketed to the top by becoming the #1 selling brand of flat panel HDTV’s in North America and became the first American brand in over a decade to lead major categories in 2007 U.S. TV sales. VIZIO has sold more than 5-Million flat panel televisions in the U.S. alone.

We bought a slightly smaller Samsung at the end of summer. The research I did told me the tech types favored the Samsung, Sony, and Sharp sets. I must admit the Visio's were attractively priced, but the prices on the big three were softening by August and by now I am sure you can haggle even in a Sears. I would pick a price range, look at the sets during action sequences, and buy the one that looks best to you in your price range.

Thanks guys. I have a hard time replacing something that isn't broken. So I am sure I will have a hard time pulling the trigger on this. I expect that prices might fall by 200 dollars after Christmas.
