Whatever you buy, get it at COSTCO because they extend the Manufacturers Warranty to TWO full years for FREE.
Ditto on COSTCO for the Warranty — They took back my Vizio due to a Wii remote impact (less than 30 days), so I am pretty loyal to them.
Another vote for Costco. I had a 42” LCD fail after about a year and a half. For some reason, the manufacturer did not want to repair that model. Costco gave me a full refund and took it back.
I turned around and bought a 47” Vizio with an AMEX card, which adds another year warranty to the 2 year Costco warranty.
