Vizio sets have the same features as LG or Sony brand sets, but at a fraction of the cost. The only thing brands like Sony/LG have on Vizio when it comes to HDTVs is picture quality. The picture quality of a similarly spec'd Vizio HDTV, won't beat a Sony Bravia or LG HDTV, but just because that is so, doesn't mean picture quality on Vizio sets suck. Sure, a Vizio set won't win a picture quality of the year award, but they still look damn good nevertheless. And unless you have something like a Bravia to compare it to ( constantly), you won't be able to tell the difference.]]>Jan 6th 2010 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/
Kinda, but not really. Vizio (and LG) for that matter use subpar ways to get at the kind of things Samsung and Sony are doing with their sets.

Take 240Hz for example. Samsung and Sony use 240Hz panels that show 240 different (albiet interpolated) images per second. Vizio (and Toshiba, and LG) use "240 Hz" which is really a panel showing 120 different images with black frames in between (called scanning backlight). Put a Samsung/Sony 240Hz next to a Vizio 240Hz and the Vizio will get blown out of the water on fast moving content that has historically been a problem for LCDs.

I'm not saying they're bad sets, I'm just saying they aren't near the quality of higher end sets.

Of course, then again, price is king. Most people want the biggest for the cheapest and can't be bothered making sure they're actually getting quality.

I'm interested to see how LG does "480Hz". Maybe they've finally got 240Hz without a scanning backlight and I'll be pleasantly surprised with their implementation of 480Hz.]]>Jan 6th 2010 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/Jan 6th 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/
Who is this milimetric guy? I almost broke my hip trying to jump over his lack of understanding of who's who around here and general arrogance.]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/
Ok, in retrospect my post was a bit bitchy. I'm sorry, I have no idea where that came from. However, the article still has a great number of errors that make it very hard to read.

I want to add that I respect the time and effort that Ben puts into Engadget posts and hope he is not offended by my uncalled for comment.]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/
That was a classy apology. I wish everyone was respectful in these blogs, but I must admit, I do find some rude comments funny.]]>Jan 11th 2010 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/
All I am waiting for is a 55" 3D either LCD or Plasma tv with decent picture quality for a reasonable price.

Vizio already got me on the price, let's see what Samsung and Sony deliver.]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/
Did you really just ask who needs Netflix in a TV? The others, not so much, but Netflix and streaming is something that most manufacturers will have to at least look at in 2010. ]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/Jan 6th 2010 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/
The bezel isn't anything it's just looks !

I have a 50 inch LG tv and I was really disappointed ! The processing engine is slow and very unresponsive.

Second, the picture is really distorted on the sides. I found out later by displaying a grid pattern on the tv.

In the center, I would get a 1 inch square pattern and from 12 inches on both sides, it would measure 1.5 inch !

This would really show on CNN with text tickers ath the bottom of the screen !

I was even told by a friend of mine ( which I should have asked before making the purchase) that LG engines where not optimal..

LG is out of the question for me bezel or not !]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/Jan 6th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/
47 seems a bit big for me. I'd love a new LED 3D TV that can fit exactly in my ikea TV centre. At the moment I can only fit a 40in due to the bezels, but if Sony/Samsung (my preferred TV manufacturers) come up with 'zero bezel' TVs, then I might squeeze a 46 incher in.]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/Jan 6th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/Jan 6th 2010 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/
at the moment its just another gimmick. wait at least 3 years for it to become what its supposed to be. besides, i think HoloTV (holographicTV) is gonna squash it anyway.]]>Jan 6th 2010 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/Jan 6th 2010 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/yeah, your probably right.
the next TV i get is gonna be ultra thin and have a thin bezel, much like the new LG's :) and that should do me for 5 years while this 3D picks up more steam.

its knida crazy in a way, HD has just become super popular the last year and were already moving on to something new!!!]]>Jan 6th 2010 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/But I hope this is the real bezel. How sexy that would be!

Nobody at Engadget saw one of these running? If they're off on the booth, just verify it with a tape measure]]>Jan 7th 2010 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/lg-unveils-new-slim-design-lcd-hdtvs-due-this-fall/

Another clue: look at he LG logo at the bottom of the glass. There's no way it would obliterate TV shows.

So the good question is now: how thick is the "masked bezel"]]>Jan 7th 2010 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/Jan 11th 2010 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lg-presents-39-new-lcd-hdtvs-most-with-netcast-some-with-3d/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLVN_gXRb7o
