i really cant understand why someone would want this lcd for almost the same price as the vizio plasma

Gamers for one?!? This all goes back to the lcd vs plasma debate. Some prefer plasma, others lcd.

Glare is a problem on plasma.

Btw, the refurbs on TigerDirect are $699 after $50 rebate. Just FYI.


the nearest costco is about 200 miles away from me. anyone could share a coupon code so that I could order online? million thanks.


coupon says it is for "Vizio 42" 1080p, and the item # is 200042, while OP's links shows Item # 334242
you guys really think the coupon will work? or I missed something?


Hopefully this is vizio's new 42" 1080p set that is set to be released mid june.

but must with a higher price :-p


I think I saw the MSRP was like $1299 or 1399.


Is this the same one as CC has on sale for $899 - 10% this weekend?


In the specifications, they mention a TV stand. It is not clear whether the stand is included or not. If it is not included, which stand is it and where does one get it from?


Who has the coupon and where does it come from?


i hate myself for buying 42" vizio plasma last march madness at costco $1500 after $300 coupon. should i return it?


HI all; I want to buy a TV for my dad this Father's day and I'll like some advice on which set from Costco is the better buy: The 42" Visio or the Panasonic 37" HDTV Plasma also for $899 seen here. I do own a PS3 however & I'll like to game several hrs a week. But then again, this is for me dad. Thoughts please? Thanks all...


Looks like there will be a shipping and handling charge. The last time a coworker got an LCD from Costco, I think he was hit with a $150 charge. Just keep this in mind. If it's the 1080p, it'll still be pretty hot.

CC is plasma. This is LCDTV.

I don't want to start the debate between Plasma/LCD... But I am going to give me general uses for it and hope I get a decent response without starting a flame war...

If someone can list pro/cons of each one, I would feel much more confident in my purchase. I would love to use PC input, but it is not required as I could just get another TV. Btw, I am furnishing a new house...

And plus, the Plasma at CC could indefinately be almost $80 cheaper with the 10% off coupon. Or not to forget the Westinghouse 42" 720p LCD TV, but that probably couldn't compare to the Vizio 1080i right? I am not very educated in TVs other than I know I need a TV soon, and I was going to wait till BF 07, but the current deals seem good.

So bottom line is...
-Vizio 42" LCD HDTV 180i (Costco, $899)
-Vizio 42" Plasma HDTV 720p (CC, $899-10%YMMV)
-Westinghouse 42" LCD HDTV 720p (BB, $899-10%)

Which seems to be a better choice as a family TV? I would like to hook up at HTPC... But then that limits me to plasma right?


I'm guessing it's just the foot attached at the bottom of the TV.

HEADS UP:
I got the 37" Vizio LCD 3 weeks ago for $799 (Costco)....very happy with it but somewhere on this thread I saw a 42" Vizio Plasma at Costco for $899 so I went to look at it.I thought the picture was somewhat washed( I look at the text on screen of a display model and the edges must be sharp and crisp and somewhat photo like) I decided not to upgrade even though it was only $100 more. It did have all the inputs and outputs as the 37" including 2 HDMI and 1 VGA plus 2 HDTV (GBR) ETC. Both are Clear QAM I will definitely look at the 42" LCD IN JUNE if its 1080P I'll boxing up the 37" to trade up to 42"

Question:
Is any one using on there desk a 32" Monitor/TV... Is it to large to be a computer Monitor or can you Reduce the screen size?? I already have a 26" Westinghouse with ASTC/HD tuner + QAM HDMI/VGA from Sams (better return policy for now) it was $483 plus tax. Its picture quality is as good as the $749 26" Maxent I returned to Costco.....


The news I got from avsforum is the $200 is for the 1080p 42" model which is not out yet and is right around the corner. I could be wrong but that's what I read.

That's exactly what my 47" has: feet with removable wimpy speakers,

That's exactly what I have done. My new multimedia FW PC is connected to the LCD TV.

I received the coupon book yesterday, and it is in there. It's tempting.

My brother tells me that if you go for plasma, it uses more electricity than LCD, thus it will cost more in the long run to use it, so taking that into consideration, LCD might be a more budget friendly option.


Be weary, you get what you pay for. THese are OK tv.

I received the coupon book but haven't checked it if you want the coupon just let me know I will be glad to mail it to you via USPS.

If you buy the 1080 resolution HD and subscribe to Cox's HD service: are they good match/ compatable?
