I just got a Vizio at Costco a couple weeks ago knowing the price would drop near black Friday. I am not impressed with the black levels of the Vizio and have actually had a couple issues with video quality (some white noise looking interference bleeding on the top and side). It looks like the Vizio is going back and will get this one as it's $100 less and appears to be a better TV.

plus I got my Panny 50" 720p from the Buy.com deal for $848 shipped.
this deal is not hot in my opinion.
Yea but is your Panny an LCD or plasma?
Plasma. Even better.
I would only get LCD if I planned to use it as computer monitor.Plasma beats LCD in every aspect except this one. This 46" is too big for a computer monitor, though.

The article you linked states "1080p is the minimum resolution you'd want." But it depends on your room size and how far you sit from the tv. Nevetheless, this is a very good deal for a 46" LCD...especially THIS model.

did you even read the article ?? do not mislead people out of your ignorane.
this line: "1080p is the minimum resolution you'd want." refers to PROJECTORS and 123-inch projection screens!
don't take it of context: "For me and many people with large projection screens, 1080p is the minimum resolution you'd want."
this is the bottom line on the 720p vs 1080p on LCD/Plasma screens: "What the chart shows is that, for a 50-inch screen, the benefits of 720p vs. 480p start to become apparent at viewing distances closer than 14.6 feet and become fully apparent at 9.8 feet. For the same screen size, the benefits of 1080p vs. 720p start to become apparent when closer than 9.8 feet and become full apparent at 6.5 feet. In my opinion, 6.5 feet is closer than most people will sit to their 50" plasma TV (even through the THX recommended viewing distance for a 50" screen is 5.6 ft). So, most consumers will not be able to see the full benefit of their 1080p TV."
and this is not even 50". On a 46" the margins are even smaller.

Dear Mr/Mrs. plestiuc,
I originally posted this deal (first one, by the way) because I thought someone who is shopping for a large screen LCD may want to enjoy hearing about savings on a 1080p TV. The last thing I thought I would see is someone rallying against a deal because he paid too much for his 720p. Tell you what: You have fun with your outdated technology , I will be watching 1080p at whatever distance away from the screen I want...

Of course they will be able to see the full benefit. YOU posted it just one line above ("and become full apparent at 6.5 feet")
It does sound like you are bitter about getting non-1080p technology. I do agree with you though about plasma have better picture
as for what resolution is necessary, none, you can watch a movie on a 13" CRT if you want. Even bluray (as long as you have the proper connections)
What model is this? I can't find a model number on Costco site, when I do a search for "AQUOS C55U Series" (only mention of a model/series on Costco page) I find nothing of note.
I would like to find some more info on this, if anyone has purchased this and has the model number from the box, please post it here.
