My over-8-year-old POS Protron 32" HDTV is still going strong. I keep hoping it will die so I can replace it (the border is so big around the screen that it's the size of a new "37) but despite regular, daily use, it just keeps on going.

The guy driving the last functional Chevy Vega probably feels the same way. :D

Well, the ****ing thing finally died. Won't power up. So it's off to get a replacement, which I'm happy about. I just wish it hadn't crapped out right in the middle of Christmas shopping. :banghead:

Who exactly is that circuit city's fault? 30 day return policy, warranty goes through manufacture.. Amazes me how consumers know the rules, but think they should not apply to them..

I have a 40 in Westinghouse in my room. Ive had it for only a few months 4-5 maybe. So far so good. Great picture. The sound is a big meh, but i have a cheap surround sound system hooked up to it and i took care of that problem. lol

I don't know a whole lot about off brands but Vizio's seem pretty good. I'd be more concerned about the warrantee. If you find a decent off-brand with a multi-year warrantee, jump on it.

Vizio is about as low of a brand as I would go. I have plenty of friends who have had them and they seem nice and hold up well. I only go Samsung for my nice TV though but have been thinking about a Vizio for my other TV.

Sams Club had a 32" Vizio for $98 this week.

I have a 42" insignia and don't have a single complaint. After researching them for a while insignia is a Samsung tv with a different name. All Samsung parts made in a Samsung factory for half the price.

Wow! I saw an LED LCD Vizio at Costco a few weeks back for $229 but $98?

Crazy.

I bought a refurbished Vizio 47" about a year ago. Came with a vizio sound bar. for right at $500. great pic. I had a 32" Olevia that was good for what it was. I bought it 5+ years ago and as far as I know it's still kicking. (Gave to fiancé's dad)

Westinghouse is absolute garbage, tried 2 37" one and the both died within 3 weeks. Took them back and got a nice 40" Hisense brand from Walmart for almost the same price.

It did weigh nearly three times as much and a 3 year warranty from Walmart, 3 year onsite warranty (at a farm 75 miles from KC) for like $35. So no more worries and I NEVER buy a warranty but this made me laugh.

I wasn't sure if the TV with samsung parts was insignia or vizio?
